I've KBCed the map, getting all As prior to that (though no Sada-chan) except the first few rounds when I was experimenting. I think that the amount of troop/hp loss is very much highly-dependent on RNG because it's affected by the type of enemy team you are assigned, whether you choose a disadvantageous formation due to failed scouting, and whether the enemies decide to gang up on someone on your team.

Using a similar type of team each time, the results are quite varied. There are times when I lose only 1 or no troops but the HP of my team takes a heavy hit. And sometimes, i lose up to 4,5 troops but HP loss is low. Either way, you bleed ;) Choosing a disadvantageous formation definitely will result in high troop/hp loss. When I fail my scouting, I choose the 2nd formation in the top row, and usually it works out ok, but there are a couple of times when it was a disadvantageous formation, so yikes.

The team I bring typically consists of the following:

Hotarumaru, Oodachi x 2, 4R tachi x 3. I alternate 1 4R tachi with a kiwame tantou sometimes.

I use a mix of gold and silver troops - one elite and 1 light cavalry for each oodachi (hotaru gets 2 light cavalry), a mix of shields, heavy cavalry and light cavalry for the tachi, and heavy infantry for the tantou.

There is no real benefit in bringing a kiwame tantou aside from experience gain imo. They don't seem to improve scouting success. But I do notice that kiwame tantous seem to have an easier time taking out that 5hp yari with 3 troop slots (i.e. while other members can only cut down 1 troop at a time, kiwame tantou can take down both the yari and 1 troop together.). There is also the benefit of fast repair.

I don't recommend bringing a 2-troop slot tachi. Depending on rng, there's a higher probability that he would be severely damaged in the boss node and get you a C (it happened to me and I lost 12 troops. ouch).

Oh and definitely get your boys in sakura fubuki mode, the 10% enhancement is very useful, as you can see from the effects of successful and unsuccessful scouting.
