team comp?

easy guide for team comp, broadly speaking there's 3 major type of team.

The Spearhead with one hard hitter (usually buster) and at least one support. Among the name you given Lancer Alter, Suzuka Gozen, and Rama are prime candidate for the buster crit meta, the template is [Hard Hitter] [X] [Merlin] usually with Anniversary Blonde. [X] are flexible depends on what do you need or the hard hitter, for example if you need some tankiness take Mashu, or if you're using Suzuka Gozen or Rama then Stheno divine buff works great on top of her QQQ deck.

The 2nd one is the NP spam route, the team in this place are those capable of NP spamming, it may be the whole team or even just one of them, however the key is that you need to spam NP. Usually it's for Arts oriented servant but there's some Buster and Quick type too. In your Case only Da Vinci capable of spamming her Np each turn. Borrow Tamam for [Edison] [Da Vinci] [Tamamo] and try to spam AoE as often as you can since AoE are weak compared to Single Target. Ideally you should be using someone like Artoria Archer or Shiki but beggar can't be chooser.

Don't worry, Arts is the most expensive among all type so it's normal to not being able to afford it.

The last type is control type, for this you have to add someone from lower rarity like St. George, Hans, or Leonidas. Basically you're giving up pure dps for some control over damage and effect you receive. There's no real template but the idea is that you should be ready to handle the situation. For example using Battle suit and switching suitable servant to kill certain class or using the front row for cannon fodder to weaken the boss before your real hitter come forward.

The last type can be as far as requiring all 6 of your servant for strategy. for Example when fighting boss you might want to save someone with Melty Sweetheart (if it's Male) or Volumen Hydrageum that have taunts on backrow with someone on front. heck even killing them just so that you can switch to offense right back is a go.

BTW  the tank team fall to this category but you don't have the servant for it so this is the old trick I've been using long ago when I just started. As newb I mostly used the Plugsuit for it's ability to grab servant on backrow to deal with the situation, for example grabbing Euryale with Kaleido to stall male boss for two turns, or taking Mashu to shield one member from certain doom.

And for the free SR, if you need help with healing you might want Medea Lily... oh well i'll just list the one worth taking by class based on what you don't have.

Saber : Lancelot

Archer : EMIYA [Alter] (expensive), Tristan

Lancer : none

Rider : Lezbo Rider, St. Martha

Caster : Medea Lily, Gil Bride

Assassin : Yan Qing, Carmilla, or if you're feeling adventurous Stheno. EMIYA same as the other EMIYA are expensive but valuable control assassin [e.g need some learning to get hold of his utility]

Zerker : almost everyone but Lancelot, Fran and TamaCat is worth taking.. but particularly Ibaraki stood out, Penthesilea is team oriented (surprisingly) and Herc is the top ONLY with his Bond CE.

Avenger : No Idea.

you're free to ask in detail why this is good or why that's not, reviewing all of them one by one is simply too much.
