The best upgrades will depend on the types of weapons you’ll get. However, since you’ll be using both ranged and melee weapons, I would recommend avoiding any Ranged or Melee Damage bonuses.
Instead, always pick up Attack Speed and Damage, while making sure you get enough HP to survive through some of the hardest waves.
Additionally, Luck is also extremely useful as it will make it easier to get Tier IV stuff.
