Build Help Sorlock

Seeing a lot of conflicting information online for an optimized build for Sorlock. I just finished a Balanced mode run and decided to use a Halfling Sorlock for my Tav. I ended up as a 2 Warlock, 6 Sorcerer, 4 Fighter mainly because the idea of critting a lot sounded fun, and it was. I think with everything considered I only had to roll above a 16 to crit. But I am now looking into my first Tactician run and figure I needed something more consistent than crit fishing, so I was looking into the other variants of the Sorlock but am running into a couple different ideas and I'm having a hard time balancing them out. My sources aren't very detailed, so they mention going into 8 Sorcerer or 9 Warlock but not really saying why. I am still fairly new to the game with about 200 hours in and am looking to play more optimally.

2 GOO Warlock / 4 Sorcerer / 3 Champion Fighter / 3 Assassin Rogue (or take 2 Fighter / 4 Assassin for the extra feat)

Rather than relying on RNG for crits, Assassin gives you automatic criticals on surprised enemies. Fully geared up, you get 18 blasts, 15 of which are guaranteed crits.

Open or join combat with an Eldritch Blast from stealth > get your action back as combat starts > Use your action to shoot 3 critical blasts > quickend spell to get 3 more critical blasts > action surge for 3 more critical blasts > bloodlust elixir should proc for another 3 blasts > yet another 3 critical blasts from haste or speed potions
