Eh that doesn't seem normal, I do lose lots of troops but I always reach the boss node and I don't usually get below A-rank. What kind of troops do you use? I recommend either using catapults (my previous strategy but I had to let it go for world 7 since my usual catapult swords don't have high enough hp) or shieldmen to pack up on defense. I saw a twitter user recommend making sure all your swords have a defense over 95 but that seems a bit overkill to me, over 85 seems sufficient. Of course that's easier with oodachis (my two oodachis are level ~80 ie 10 levels behind the rest and still fare very well) but other swords with high enough stats just require some good shieldmen. Other than jirou & tarou I use mitsu, kuri-chan, kane-san, tsuru.

Forging this many shieldmen is extremely resource-intensive ngl but at least you should reach the boss node every time the dice allows you to and only have to send swords in for repair every 2 or 3 runs.

After that it's luck, I lose 4-5 troops when I get the short route and twice that amount when I get the long route ^^"
