In AW, it depends on your alliance's desires to complete the map. Some alliances will demand it, others will not. You still get rewards if you do not complete the map, and sometimes the other team doesn't complete it, so you might still win.
In AQ, you need to complete the map to get good rewards, but again it is really up to you ally to agree on such things.
another option is to see if you can take down a node wirh the least amount of potions/revives. this means that if u can take down a node with one or two revives go for it but don’t drop 15 items to clear one node
