I was about to say something wise, but Hyocaso got it all covered.

But yeah. Having a great Caster support for the Assassin quest is a great boon. I also have one, possibly unorthodox advice; try to fight the 'real' Assassins in the Assassin quest;  I guess you could do that by equipping some Empieta or something.

My logic is this; that second wave mini-boss, he will absolutely wreck your Servants if you're not prepared. If you got through that thing wrecked and faced Elizabeth in the next wave, her NP, which happens to be an AoE with curse, will wreck you more even if you resist the relatively low damage. On the other hand, if you fought Carmilla instead, her NP will only target one Servant, and thus more damage control capabilities. If the Servant she attack has prepared a dodge, Battle Continuation, or invulnerability, she will waste her NP, and you can probably waste her in the next turn. If you have someone with NP draining capabilities, like Tamamo or Vlad, you can use them to aid your second or third wave.

'Mr. Calatore! Or probably Mrs. Calatore! But Mr/Mrs Calatore, how about the NPs of the ghosts that accompany her? Will that wreck you too?'

Actually, yes. However, it's also a single target NP. And there's a chance that it will target that same Servant who has applied dodge, BC, or invulnerability. If they do, they will waste one turn doing absolutely useless things. This is the most effective tactic I can use, since my roster is especially great at stalling enemies; it made the quest relatively easier once I realized this.
