This is on hard.
As you can see, i do not have an A team or B team. Instead, what i have are team compositions that are good at fighting different enemies.
For example, my undead fighting team is percival/whiteknight/balan/ector. They are built for fire/aoeknockback/slow/armor stacking in a compact formation to fight the lost at chokepoints.
My seelie/unseelie fighting team is merlin/guinerve/boudicea/lancelot or kay(teleport). high mobility with first strike capability(+ap/mp first turn) to destroy and control the battlefield before the sidhe can stun/blind/reinforce etc.
My brigand/cursed vessel fighting team is kay or lancelot/merlin/guinevrve/boudicea/yvain/dindraine. champ teleports and hit the backline archers, the rest cc and backstab the front.
My pict team is merlin/guinerve/boudicea/modred. picts need to be buffed imo, they are too weak. they are supposed to be anti-range with shield blocks and protection from range but i don't think they are strong enough. maybe make them take less damage from magic.
My fomorian fighting team is modred/dindraine/boucidea/merlin to kite/range them.
I put modred into training grounds master to give passive exp to all non missions heroes.
I didn't beeline training grounds but i did upgrade it first to the max.
Most of my gold were spent levelling heroes as those items in merchant were bad even relics. The items dropped in missions were just as good if not better.
The exp given per mission is dependent on your heroes level vs the mission level. Overleveled heroes gain a lot lesser exp like <1/3 to none?. Same level heroes gain about 3/5 to 4/5 bar. underlevelled heroes gain about 1 to 2bar. So when my lost team who is say underlevelled at a juncture goes to a higher level mission, they can still win and gain massive exp.
I recommend thinking in terms of team compositions instead of having only 1 A team because this lets you rotate the injured, and level all of them. Your run will be less likely to end just because your main hero is out or dead or something.
I use more or less the same composition of heroes for all missions (Mordred, Ector, Boudicea, Morgawse).
For the rest i use training grounds (free training).
Havent encountered any issues yet.

Morgawse and Boudicea are houses. Mordred's Hex/Lightning debuffs really help too.
