GUVs with more than one emp lich are known to be extremely frustrating and by some, they are considered more difficult, or at least more troublesome, than D50.
It's why I love mindcrafters. On paper, they are the least suitable class to tackle a GUV but in reality, once you get GTB at level ~30, you can kill the emps and kings without having to even acknowledge their summons.
Plus at that point, an MC will have their willpower at sufficiently decent level to only have to equip a single item with confusion resistance to counter the mind attack.
Not every R/C combination can do a GUV and among those who can, a lot depends on equipment.
Liches are notoriously slow, with speeds around 90. A high level monk with 7LB and long stride can easily kite them in pure melee without the risk of stat loss.
I'd say archers and other decent range non-casters could deal with them using missiles of undead slaying or perhaps Sun's Messenger if you're lucky.
Casters have fireballs, very effective against liches but a supercharged blessed wand of fireballs with some boosted willpower should produce similar effect.
However, in the past, I would skip these vaults entirely with certain characters, most notably the short-lived ones.
Pick an elf and as a barbarian, you can reach a point where one-shoting lich royalty with tremendous blows is your daily bread.
Oh, I have once cleared a GUV with a ratling duelist, getting aged once, by about 4 years.
Had to be extremely careful and focused, to the point where I did not find the gameplay entertaining anymore, as it was very slow and full of checks every turn, much more so than during a regular game.
