The third defensive strategy involves taking control of your opponent's clothing (yes, seriously.) You see, Ryuko has the ability to communicate with and exert some degree of control over life fibers, sentient, threadlike microorganisms whom are often sewed into clothing. At the end of Kill la Kill, Ryuko was shown to be able to influence and communicate with the trillions of life fibers scattered around the world. She made the life fibers scatter across the universe, but she also has the potential to call them back to Earth. In Defense 3, Ryuko would use prep time summon life fibers from all over the universe and and cause them to assimilate with the clothing of everyone on Earth. This will go unnoticed because they are incredibly small and the event will be gradual. Once the life fibers are assimilated into your team's clothing/costumes/armor (which will shrink with them), Ryuko can reach out to the life fibers and command them to absorb the bodies of their hosts. I doubt your team will be able to escape, considering that life fibers are invulnerable to all damage unless it's inflicted by other life fibers. This is shown in the fact that they have withstood planetary explosions (which they have caused by literally constricting planets until they burst), flying through the universe at most likely FTL speeds, are resistant to the cold of deep space, tanked dozens of missiles and nuke level explosions, can brush off attacks from and restrain superhumans (think Colossus to Aquaman level beings), ect.
The life fibers can also directly interact with the hosts' nervous system, allowing them to control his/her actions. This can be seen when Ragyo used them to enslave a group of several hundred superhumans, and is also stated in several episodes of Kill la Kill (can't remeber all of the top of my head, but I'll look for it later.) When your team puts on their costumes, they'll be under the influence of the life fibers, without technology to help them seeing as 1) I doubt they equip tech before they put on they wear clothes and 2) the life fibers don't exactly mind control their victims; it's more like possession of their bodies or bloodbending in Avatar the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra. I also doubt your team will be able to detect the life fibers seeing as they had been on Earth for millions of years and no one's technology (keep in mind the tech in Kill la Kill is pretty advanced; they can turn entire cities into giant warships, create artificial islands that can become giant robots, tangible electromagnetic illusions capable of inflicting damage, ect.) had been able to detect them until the life fibers themselves revealed themselves to certain humans who had been trained ever since.
TL;DR: Ryuko can cause your team's gear/clothes to become sentient, monstrous parasites that will restrain them, absorb their life force and blood, and kill them (in that order.) This can happen whenever she wishes, and since the clothes will be shrunk with your team, they'll be unable to simply run off. Your team will also be unable to control their actions, thus unable to use tech to defend themselves.
