I try to equip oodachi with horses that grant the most mobility since they're so slow (see stats at the bottom of the Armory page)

I hate to lose troops and often return to the citadel when I do. I found that shield troops--even at the silver and bronze level--seem to hold up better than my gold light cavalry and light infantry (that being said, if you have light infantry and cavalry, it helps a lot if they're all gold). My team ranges from level 50 to 69 (four tachi and two oodachi) and is not losing any troops for the first three nodes (I'm having trouble getting to node D again), but the only non-gold troops I have equipped are shields (gold are all cavalry and elites). I did ditch all my infantry for this map, and I think I might try to change light cavalry out for heavy to see if they're sturdier.

Hope this helps... good luck!
