The position where squad 1 is by default needs to be slower than the rest to pick up 410 and three medal it. (Or that squad has to clear first pests and die later).
But you only need to three medal once, if it's tricky then I'd settle for other runs leaving a pest and picking up maximum petals.

Put the slowest squad in the rightmost bottom camp. Put the two fastest squads (including helper squads) in the bottom middle camp and the last two squads go to the leftmost camp. This setup should, barring some very extreme speed difference (or if they're all somehow about the same speed) between your 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th fastest squads, net you 410 most, if not all of the time.

For what it's worth, my fastest is 742, next is 561, then 556 and 555. I've used helpers as slow as 400 and as fast as 700 and it's worked just fine.

In my case, I just leave it at default and with any helper I get the max amount of petals.
My squad 1-4 speeds are accordingly: 516, 580, 617, 629.

Just so we are all aware, Farming event map 1 will get you more event currency than any other map. 55 per run on average = 440 for 80 stam or 30 more than 1 80 stam run.

Having said that, you get no life crystals or ampy chance on E-1 so I will be farming E-4.

I'm trying to follow the event daily missions, which also reward rosepetals or whatever they are. So 10 stamina map once, 20 stamina map once (it got 2 of the required mobs), 40 stamina map twice (also has 2 mobs), 80 stamina map 3 times. Total is 350 stamina, so the rest is for extra 80 stamina maps.

As for team setup: the past couple of events, I could use my regular unit in its default setup at standard placements for the 80-stamina events for full clearings. Teams are ordered from slowest on squad 1 to fastest on squad 4: 466 speed, 503 speed, 611 speed, 897 speed. Most maps seem setup in a way that the helper squad hardly encounter any pests, so I prefer teams with Mei and/or Cattleya, since their 50% light gauge fill is one of the few ways a team can actually help other teams.
