Leonidas works as a nice damage sponge to absorb enemy hits/control who the enemy attacks/targets. Additional utility with the crit stars generated via his NP, as well as his 3 turn buster+ with his 3rd skill. Thus he pairs well with anybody that is a buster servant, or a crit-user servant, and very well with buster-crit servants.

Drake works very nicely with him since she is a rider (she will eat all the stars you produce easily) and she has a buster focus (buster NP + 2 buster cards). With her lack of survival skills (no heal or defense+ buff), Leonidas also helps to keep her alive longer by making sure damage goes towards him and not her. That's honestly a solid team base right there.

For the 3rd member of your frontline, you can always bring a strong support from your friends list, but it's already obvious that Waver/Nightingale/Tamamo no Mae are all strong supports. However, for other servants that work well that you also may own, my personal favorites are Hans Christian Anderson (2* Caster) and Irisviel (4* welfare servant from Accel/Zero Event). Hans provides good buffs to the party (though on a chance basis, sometimes the buffs won't apply) including defense+ and heal per turn, which will ensure Leonidas stays alive to keep tanking. The attack buff in Hans' NP (as well as his crit star gen skill and his crit dmg+ skill) will also boost the offensive power of your dps servant (e.g. Drake as you mentioned, working very well with this). Irisviel will only function as a healer to help keep your party alive, but she does the job well (especially since she also has party-wide guts application with her NP) so don't expect Leonidas (and, consequently, your dps servant) to go down easy
