Got apprehensive about the fight (and wasting QP pointlessly) after reading the comments so went full braindead mode. Team comp:

Front: Gilgamesh with LB'd event damage CE + Merlin with NP gen CE + Waver with starting NP CE (to avoid enemy NPs starting up too soon and breaking up the team)

Back: Mashu + Summer Martha with Origin Bullet CE to counter Merlin after the Sabers were gone + Merlin Support with LB'd 2030

Fight took 10 turns, more than it needed to tbh but that's mostly because I was honestly not expecting Gilgamesh to deal that much damage despite the Merlin and CE damage boosts. Dude was shooting off 600k NPs on Sabers with just the CE and own Charisma at NP level 1.

I took down Rama's first bar while building NP manually - used Gil's third and second skill + Waver's defense buff, kept everything else for an NP charge after using Ea but that wasn't really needed. After the first bar came off, NP'd and took down Rama, half of Merlin's first bar and Lily's full first bar. Rama's death charged Gil for a second Ea which I shot the next turn, annihilated poor Lily and took out Merlin's first bar. Merlin popped invincibility so he survives a bit, but then I go with full damage buff the moment defenses are down and it was game over.

Trick is, as far as I could observe, to have a damage dealer that is able to take out an enemy in the next max 3 rounds after taking out the first HP bar (ideally the very next turn) so the NP recharge buff is applied and another NP can be shot off so if done correctly you can be throwing out NPs each turn. Managing the enemy NPs is also annoying since their buff allows them to, if lucky, charge their gauge in about 3 turns so some CC may come in handy.

In the end, happy I didn't waste the 6M QP but kinda sad poor Martha didn't get a chance to contribute. Origin Bullet is a really good CE for this fight though, if one has it, but it's effectiveness is reduced while the Sabers are on the field.
