Team for tough content?

After playing the game for a little while, I’ve concluded that a properly leveled team with appropriate defense buffs and healing will rarely be killed by normal attacks alone, so the team that can do the aforementioned while preventing enemy NPs will almost always win (basically, I’m starting to buy into stall meta). I have a lot of great pieces, including Archer Artoria, Jeanne, Emiya Assassin, Waver, Hans, David, and Tristan, but I’m trying to come up with the optimal team. Artoria will obviously be part of it, and I’m leaning towards Jeanne and Waver to give me supreme NP stall and survivability, with Mash and David/Tristan in the backline. My major questions:

1. Do you think that team comp gives me enough teamwide healing? Jeanne would be my only real healer, and she’s only OK at that role. Would it be better to include Hans for more consistent healing and defense buffs?
2. How good is Tamamo on a stall team? She’s obviously a great support for Artoria, but if I choose her over Jeanne, I lose hard survivability; if I use her over Waver, I lose defense buffs and some NP stall. I have a rule of not using friend supports for story content, and I don’t have Tamamo currently, but I’ll likely roll for her on her next rate up regardless.

When Tamamo has 10/10/10 skills, she is arguably the best staller in the game provided her team is all arts servants. She can fire her NP off practically every turn or two, and keep healing over and over. That would also reduce party's skill cooldown, meaning she can have her defence buffs up all the time, while constantly powering up her team's arts cards for more NP gain. Artoria + Waver + Tamamo is great. Jeanne works more as a tank that can resist almost anything, and when she gets her NP buff and loses the annoying self stun she becomes near top tier as well.

Also, as for your own team, it's fine so far. Every team is a tradeoff. While your current team has less healing without Hans, Waver is better for general stall and damage. If you want to trade him for Hans you can, there's nothing wrong with that. I'd personally stick with Waver though; it all just comes down to your preferred playstyle.

Just used my level 78 1/1/1 Tamamo to do a bunch of interlude quests with 0 class advantage in a Squirtle, waver, Tamamo setup. Put divine banquet on Tamamo to np more. The results were ridiculous! None of the bosses or minibosses even got past 1 charge xD

Man, that's crazy. Never expected she'd be that good with only 1/1/1.

Given the servants you offered, I'd say there isn't really a wrong answer, you're just swapping one tool for another.

1. I think Jeanne is better if you're going for stall. Hans healing is nice but unless he gets overcharge, the healing is negligible, especially against berserkers.

2. Tamamo is great stall material. Her arts up skill heals and her NP reduces skill cooldowns as well as healing and charging team NP gauge.

At the end of the day, I don't think there's one combo that works better than another. Any combination of Waver, Jeanne or Tamamo will result in a great stall team.

Also keep in mind that ce can give a lot of nuance to the same team.
