Any chance at Dantes' hell gauntlet?

Pretty much what the question says. I like summon tickets and feeling good about myself, but I'm not sure if I even have a chance at clearing this thing from what I've seen, so I'll ask here similar to how I did for Goetia. Not much has changed in my lineup since that ask, but there have been some slight improvements. This is what I'm working with in terms of viably leveled:

-Saber-

Brave Elly 4/10/4 NP5
Same as she was last time, and still my strongest ST NP without special modifiers coming into play. Max Fou stat buffs.

Mordred 7/4/6 NP2
Fresh off of an extra NP level due to reasons. Max Atk Fou buff.

-Lancer-

Elizabeth 7/6/3 NP1
Still my starter servant and more than anything my premier 'support' option with Sadistic Charisma, Torture Technique, and carrying 2030. Max Fou stat buffs.

Jalter Lily 4/1/10 NP5
My slightly stronger Lancer option and one of my best AoE and/or farming servants. Max Fou stat buffs.

Leonidas 3/3/7 NP5
My only "tank" outside of Mashu, although he has his rarity issue working against that.

-Archer-

Emiya 3/9/8 NP2
Another one who got a recent NP2 due to reasons. Max Fou attack buff.

Robin 9/6/5 NP5
The whole King Hassan debacle got him to NP5 finally. Probably can out-damage Brave Elly now in ST NP damage with a bit of overcharge.

Arash 1/1/9 NP5
I don't think he'll really be doing anything here, but still thought I'd list him anyways.

-Caster-

Halloween Elly 4/7/3 NP5
My strongest caster overall, which unfortunately isn't saying much since Halloween Elly here is more of a farmer than a primary threat. Max Fou buff stats.

Nitocris 8/5/3 NP2
The real farming caster, with recently improved Death Chance Up courtesy of the Moon Goddess Rerun shop.

Shakespeare 8/1/4 NP5
One of my only two "battery" servants alongside Mashu, and only one of two Buster supports along with Leo.

Andersen 4/6/4 NP5
NOTE: My Andersen is NOT level-capped yet. He is still only 45/65 and ascension three. I'm only listing him here because he's Andersen and that alone is something. My other supports in Caesar and Mozart are not listed because they also are still not fully leveled and ascended yet.

-Rider-

Santa Alter 4/4/8 NP5
The big AoE killer in my roster. Max Fou Atk buff.

Ushiwakamaru 4/7/4 NP5
My only ST Rider, although her lower stats still don't serve to make her a primary carry, unfortunately. When both are under the same support buffs, Ushi just BARELY manages to outdamage Santa Alter with NP on a single target, and I mean just barely, courtesy of Alter's Mana Burst vs Ushi's Charisma.

-Assassin-

Jack 10/4/7 NP2
A boost to her NP courtesy of trying for Jeanne on New Years, and still probably my best unit overall, courtesy of her star rarity over Brave Elly. Easily outdamages the latter when the victim is female, especially now that Moon Goddess Rerun gave me the God Hearts to finish off Misty Night. Max Fou buff stats.

Shuten 6/6/4 NP1
The AoE Assassin to complete the trifecta of potential Assassin needs. Max Fou buff stats.

King Hassan 4/4/4 NP1
Yes, he did show up at the last minute after I spent Quartz I told myself I wouldn't because they were reserved for the waifu fund for this August, which renders the upset rant I made about him last week a bit outdated. He is fully ascended and leveled, otherwise I wouldn't list him here. But doing so too the last of my Chains which prevents me from leveling his skills further, otherwise he would be 4/10/8. Max Fou stat buffs.

-Berserker-

Kiyohime 3/3/7 NP5
Yep, she's still my only one. The Hassan summing debacle also got her to NP5 since last time.

-Extra-

Mashu 10/10/10 NP3
Kouhai is also still my only Extra class, courtesy of failing to get Jeanne during New Years.

-Notable CEs-
[Heaven's Feel]
Holy Night Sign (MLB)
Holy Night Supper (MLB)
Holy Night Supper X3
The Black Grail
Hero Elly's Adventure x4
Joint Recital
Origin Bullet
Volumen Hydrargyrum x2 (Is this actually notable? Or a trap CE?)
Fragment of 2030
Another Ending
Victor of the Moon
Halloween Princess
Devilish Bodhisattva
Prisma Cosmos
Limited/Zero Over
Imaginary Around
Kaleidoscope
Imaginary Element x3
Angel's Song
Holy Shroud of Magdalene
Divine Banquet
Verdant Sound of Destruction
Gandr
Projection x2
Iron-Willed Training
Jeweled Sword Zelretch (MLB)
Dragon's Meridian (MLB)
Battle of Camlann (MLB)

There are others not worth mentioning, and almost all of the 5* CEs came from the Hassan debacle.

I have access to 10/10/10 friend supports for Merlin, Waver, and Tamamo.

The only possible teams I can think of within my roster that would even have a chance to win are either:

Hassan/Mashu/S. Merlin (Brave Elly just doesn't have the stats to be the main carry)
or
Robin/Mashu/S. Tamamo (This team has to pray that Amakusa doesn't just obliterate it though)

Any thoughts of some composition that could make success more likely? (And sorry for the long wall of text. I wanted it to be formatted nicely)

Camelot and Babylonia have a lot of high level node to train, your arsenal is also pretty strong.
Camelot Castle/Pyramid difficulty level is even higher than most Prison Tower Challenge quest. Try it for yourself and don't bring any Archer/Zerker/Rider there.
Don't use broken friend supp like Merlin or Waver or Tamamo until you can successfully clear it, trust me, it's harder than you think.
Once you can clear it smoothly with your own party, Prison Tower Challenge Quest is just a joke for you. After that, borrow friends Waver, Merlin or Tamamo and you'll see the difference.

Difficulty reminder :
- Babylonia Blood Fort is lvl 80.
- Camelot Castle is lvl 80.
- Ozy Pyramid is lvl 84.
- Dantes combined with 7 lords is level 90.

This event aren't even harder than Nerofest, sustained battle are more leaning into survivability.
Just cover your DPS well and you're good to go.

Merlin with the Halloween tamacat CE that increases healing is able to solo it.
You could run Mash, Hans, and friend Merlin and stall it out. It’d probably be enough with all the art chains, NP, heals, and Def buffs. Though it would take a long time to finish.
You could also do friend Merlin, Mash/Hans, and an attacker if you want to speed it up.

One thing that I havent seen in most/any walkthroughs is Nitocris. While shes usually a farmer, most of the trash mobs in Prison Tower are bronze with higher than normal health meaning her Insta-kill has a very very good chance of proccing. To test this, I ran her on the first round and she made short work of all the junk mobs...just an angle I havent seen anyone take yet.

How would one run her in this case? As the primary damager with Mashu and Tamamo, slowly chipping away at the servants while the mobs die quick? Switch her out for a real damage dealer once the Jeanne/Amakusa fight comes up?
