Holmes fits a niche as a crit damage buffing support. However due to his QQBAA NP A card setup he leans more to the arts teams, and minorly to Arts teams. Consider Prisma Cosmos or 2030 so he is either buff spamming or granting stars.

Compositions:

Damage dealers need to be able to have stars whether they make them or absorb them. Victor of the Moon, Another Ending and Hot Springs are great CE's.

 Supports need to provide either passive star generation, NP generation or Quick/Arts chaining. For longer fights or squishy damage dealers consider healing options.

Consider passive star generators like Hans, Marie(Caster) and Liz(Caster) and Lancelot(Saber). Opens options of other CE's in place of 2030.

Consider NP generation like Merlin, Waver, Helena and Shakespeare. Opens options for NP Spam.

Reccomended to use 2 2030 CE's to flood the star pool.

Card Sets: These sets are focused with the intent of maximizing each individual card setup. For a basic setup follow the above rules.

Buster based comps should run 2 2030's due to lack of star generation. Must use the funnel strategy. Jalter and Hijikata are first on the list but consider  Quetzalcoatl,   Lancelot(Berserker) and Raiko. Supports wise Merlin is the best in the lot due to Buster buff. Hans, Helena and Waver work here. Consider Leonidas for more bulk and Shakespeare for more damage and NP charge.

Arts based comps, consider NP generation on Holmes. 2030 is a must on the other support. In terms of pure damage Lancelot(Saber), Li Shuwen, Nursery Ryme come to mind. Orion and Emiya(Assassin) being the best for stall comps. Consider BB if you want more NP spam and healing support. Waver being the best due to np generation, consider  Tamamo, Hans and Merlin as other alternatives. Merlin falls short of Waver due to lack of crit buff and NP Generation. Marie(Caster), Elizabeth(Caster) and  Mozart all enable star generation and can work in place of Hans. You will lack some defense/healing though. Consider Lancelot(Saber) with a 2030.

Quick based comps have the most open choices for CE's, however focuses less on the main damage dealer due to  utilizing the flood strategy. C onsider Dantes, Karna and Okita as the main damage dealers. Jack with her bond CE or Tristan are good options for supports. Consider Marie(Rider) for healing and Alexander for more damage buffs.

These are suggestions. There are alot of options of characters.
