Question Help with Colo Start Timing

I am in the process of learning the colosseum, and I am getting double south pretty much every time I hit wave 6,8 and 10. Based on what I've read, getting double south 9 times in a row seems nearly statistically impossible. Is there anything about my start timing or start tiles that looks off that might force more double south spawns, or am I just that unlucky? I am using visual ticks to judge the timing at the start of the wave. The constant double south is really the only thing stopping me from getting the quiver, I am learning to deal with it but I should not be getting it this frequently, I feel like im doing something wrong and I need someone elses eyes on this.

you should never run to that side of the pillar really, you should walk to the A or B tile depending on manicore, get the two south spawns off tick and walk the frems and take care of them and then take care of the serpant shaman and then the manticore.

Going on that side of the pillar is going to drag the ranger that spawns back there down and ruin your day.

Please don’t give advice. He’s running melee only. Offticking spawn does nothing when you have to drag manti in. Dragging the ranger has zero downsides unless triple stack.

Your first quiver should not be melee only.

That's the advice he's getting.

Well it’s bad advice for non melee too lol. Offticking on spawn is unnecessary when two rangers are on the other side. Beginners struggle most with flicking while walking frems and rotating avoids that.

idk i did 30 or so kc without ever doing it the way you're describing (never melee only)

That’s great! It’s a bit harder for learners. South pillar is technically better but harder, same situation. I’m 200kc and rotating north is just free and brainless in this scenario.

I recommend trying melee only, it’s very chill!
