I had tried the top two choices and lost on them, and then succeeded on the run where I picked the middle left choice (where the other two party members was a horse bow and infantry staff). On the note of that party, I tried to equip the bow that I picked up on the map to the horse bow girl, but she didn't seem to be able to equip it. The party comp choices I played I had felt were pretty enjoyable, and I may have stuck with them if I had known to investigate the houses of the destroyed guardians afterwards since they carry a revive item. Maybe it'd be good to highlight that the areas are really worth investigating with a more flashy tile or something? Other thought I had was I wanted to save up for the most expensive item in the shop in the bottom right of the map, but I don't think I ever got up to 10k gold during my run.

Oh really nice to hear that you got to try different choices. Indeed Vanesa (F!Ranger) needs to hit a few Prof level ups to use the Boss bow, overall she should get there after 2 complete zones... unless the RNG goddess decided to curse your run or she wasn't killing enough.
Sadly the revive item was a late addition, to ensure that one could recover from losing units, so I didn't though of drawing more attention to the Sanctuary tile to point that one could visit it.
Actually buying the 10k item without selling stuff is not doable, there aren't enough enemies to get 10k gold even if you kill them all and go to the shop then. :D
