Double Merlin works but it won't be as good as it usually is cuz you can't really just use the burst glass cannon start. This is due to Nero, Ozy, and Medea's buff, they really force you to slow down. There are some Servants who ignore Defense with their NP so some players and whales can probably beat it quickly but for the average player, forget it.

I did it with Duoble Merlin and Gil, the double Merlin helped Gil one-shot Amakusa. After that, it was just a matter of waiting for Ozy's buff to wear off and Imperial Privilege RNG. I brought Jack and Martha for buff removal but those can only go so far. Used no CS but did get pretty lucky with Imperial Privilege RNG.

The safest start is to kill them one at a time. Cu Alter is great for this since he excels at surviving and sniping. The safest team I can think of is Jeanne, Merlin, and Sherlock. An Art Saber like Lancealot probably works too, the problem with other classes is that the class disavantage really slows down the kill due to the 15k heal per turn and 50% Defense.
