She's a crit-arts servant, and as tempting as tamamo is, I'd honestly suggest CasGil first and foremost for his arts up, attack up, and star gen up to help with critting.

If you don't have him, Hans could substitute pretty well thanks to np gen +10% per turn and star gen +15 per turn. (also his crit up helps supplement Hokusai get past the slow start up on her third skill)

For her other partners, it depends. I'd honestly choose Nero Bride over tamamo because she has no actual attack ups on her own but has a 30% arts up, already gets great np damage up buff on her own, and Nero bride's np gen up multiplies with the arts boost given by herself and Gil, and can charge Hokusai's np by 30% now on top of Hokusai's 20% for 50% total charging meaning she boosts both np spamming and critting potential.

Assuming you don't have access to nero bride, then tamamo works well for her for reducing cd of skills, more arts doesn't hurt (although attack honestly is wanted), and np drain that's np damage up is always nice. Budget options is para for np spamming, and Asclepius for battery, np gen, and some utility. Hans also makes it here if you didn't replace Gil with him.
