I believe with mashu (as backline), waver (as backline), lancer tamamo (lvl 1 np), scathach (lvl 1 np) and jack (np lvl doesn't matter, you only need her to remove buff), you do stand a chance against Gil even without event CE

the last servant I used was jeanne, but I think it's better to put a lvl 100 heracles in the back

for CEs, I used 2030*3 and art of death (equipped on scathach)

but if you do have a high lvl heracles or cu alter as your last straw, swap one 2030 with volumen hydrargyrum or melty sweetheart to make sure he can survive 2 turns to finish the job

When entering 3/3, all of your 6 servants will receive a debuff that reduce your np dmg dramatically (non-dispelable) and 0 np gauge no matter what, while Gil will be able to gain dmg up buff each turn

If you dispel his dmg up buff, upon his turn, he will first, fully charge his np gauge, then use his NP, then re-apply the buff that gives him extra dmg each turn, and burn all your np gauges

If his np gauge is already fully charged and his dmg up buff got removed, he will cast NP first before doing those things above (which means he will cast 2 NPs in the same turn)

So what you need to do is use critical stars given by 2030s and scathach (who has art of death) to do dmg using autoattack early, make sure your jack survive until Gil fully charges his NP gauge, then remove all of his buffs, forcing him to gain extra dmg again from 0 (you need scathach's evasion and lancer tamamo's invunerability to survive that turn)

Boss Gil has a high critical strike chance and high resistance to charm or stun, but that's fine, he will still has a hard time killing your lancers with autoattacks, as long as he doesnt stack dmg up buffs like shit

Don't worry if your NP gauges get cleared up twice, as that NP dmg down debuff you received will last long enough to make your waver charge scathach's np gauge  (Your jack dies after removing buffs? it's k, time to let waver in)
