Untouchable (5e Optimized Character Build)

This build has three components:

 1. War Caster (Feat)
 2. Polearm Master (Feat)
 3. Repelling Blast (Eldritch Invocation)

Explanation

War Caster: Allows you to cast spells instead of a melee attack for opportunity attacks

Polearm Master: When using a polearm, creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter the reach you have with the particular weapon

Repelling Blast: Eldritch Blast sends opponents 10ft backwards

Sentinel: When you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, the creature's speed becomes 0 for the rest of the turn.

In a game this looks like:

 1. Enemy comes within 10ft of you, provoking opportunity attack from you (Polearm Master)
 2. You use that opportunity attack to cast Eldritch Blast on the enemy (War Caster)
 3. Enemy is sent back 10ft (Repelling Blast)
 4. The enemy's speed is set to 0 (Sentinel)
 5. Frustrated, the enemy cries.

In Reality

A DM might rule that Polearm master can only give OOP to the Polearm but this is not RAW.
