My ally's helper squad was in the 300s, slowest I had available. The main squad was able to clear the map before the node gets unlocked although with heavy casualties lol.

End result was 5712 gold and 242 seeds. This is, in no way, comparable to 12-5 farming. So yea, in case anyone was thinking of trying.

That's because the amount of gold/seeds is based on distance traveled.

You would be better off having 1-3 Lilac groups in the loop rather than 4 slow units. With main groups as fast as possible to clear out the map before the Lilacs open the node.
