For gods sake, finally I am done this stupid challenge. Wasted so much time yesterday trying to make different kind of setups that could survive long battle with these 3, but at 2nd hp bar for some reason my turtle setups just couldn't survive. Combinations like Tama-caster/Mashu/Merlin, Tama-caster/Mashu/Waver and even an attempt on Tama-caster/Skadi/Leonidas (the idea was to spam his NP and cast Skadi's NP against the AOE) all worked fine, but only until the point where two of the enemy servants would be under a damage buff every turn.

Ended up with beating this by Tama-lancer/Mashu/Merlin team. Both Tamamo and Merlin had the LB CE, and I rotated the damage in such a way as to not drop Jeanne to 2nd bar until her companions were almost down. This way I could make sure Nobu doesn't have the buff on herself 2/3 of time. I also used this to reliably deal damage to Nobu and Jaguar until they were really low. Then I popped Jeanne's 1st bar, hit Nobu next turn to remove Jeanne's defense and oneshoted Jeanne with Tamamo's kick. Tamamo's Brave Chain was enough to down Jaguar on the same turn, which only left me with Nobu, who had around 20k hp remaining. She was removed by Merlin on the following turn.

17 turns, no deaths, no CS, but probably a plenty of luck.
