The general rule of thumb IMO is that your roster of 1~4*s should be max ascended and at or near max level by the time you get to Camelot and after.

People tend to have slightly differing strategies depending on what they have, so the exact methods might not be clean-cut. But a few guidelines have been mentioned here and there.

It's technically possible to finish most of the game with only Mashu, silvers and bronzes, though this admittedly requires a wide roster (to adapt to different situations) and decently leveled skills.

By the way, this has likely been stated multiple times already, but Camelot is when Mashu properly turns from "fodder at worst, auxiliary defensive support at best" into "almost godlike defense buffer everyone gets for free", so there's that.

If all else fails, there's always the "overpowered supports" route and the "burn Command Seals" route. But ideally it doesn't come to that, aside from Gawain. Gawain is traumatic.
