I dunno. To me, arts is budget. Yes, I do have some of that nice, luxury stuff but all you need to supply is 2 units and you can grab the third from support. One of them can be Mashu. Another can be your DPS. Then just nab the big support cycler of choice out of your support list. In some cases, you'll forego Mashu in favor of someone like Hans who needs a little babying but I haven't grailed him and have managed to baby him just fine. Your DPS is often budget or available too.

Vs sabers: Euryale or Robin Hood. If you want to be uber safe, you can even use David.

Vs archers: Depends on what they are but you can always use JDASL.You can also forego class advantage and use Sieg NP cycle. If you're having trouble with the short gauge bar, you can use David, alternating harp of healing with Jeanne or Merlin's defenses.

Vs lancers: This one is a bit trickier to find class advantage for on a budget. I'll typically just choose a neutral servant who keeps the arts synergy up enough.

Vs riders: This is the tough one where I typically would move away from arts on budget. There's enough f2p assassins so you should be able to fend for yourself.

Vs casters: Easy. Just treat them as neutral while you walk over them. They typically are easy to hold defense against, letting you choose whatever big hitter rider of your choice. Even Brotoki despite him being quick.

Vs assassins: Sieg. But really, anything.

And depending on the matchup, you just make one servant Mashu or Hans, the other one of these DPS ones, and the third as your arts cycler off the support list. Then you stack on some tidy CEs and if you have them, ideal of holy king in back row. With arts, there is often a "best setup" unlike busters but there's also almost always a f2p friendly setup.
