In tier 1, all monsters do normal damage. so, we should focus on normal. but in tier 2 and 3 which type of defense should i focus on most?
normal > pierce, element, shadow or focus on those equally? What is the best combination for all round strategy?

Thanks for answer!!

Build a set for all

Build a set for all situations.
Specialize, do not generalize.

Focus on a set that defends against Elemental first, since it's the damage type you'll see the most often, then work slowly into Piercing or Shadow.

Normal is most common (That's why it's called Normal)
Elemental is second-most common (Gun Puppies are everywhere, and arenas are full of Mecha Knights)
Piercing is third-most common (Every danger room until next patch will have either Slimes or Wolvers)
Shadow is least common (but definitely not "rare," still worth worrying about-- Never know when you might get stuck in a Graveyard, and Firestorm Citadel is almost all Zombies).

@Giga, now that Fiends

@Giga, now that Fiends inflict shadow, I'd say it's as frequent as piercing, especially since there are quite a lot of Fiend strata...
