It's clear from the guidelines (https://usaultimate.org/college/2023-college-guidelines/) that bid allocation for each region will be determined after this weekend games.

Timeline – The official USA Ultimate College Regular Season will run from January 1, 2023 through April 2, 2023.

Bid allocation for Regions to the USA Ultimate College Championships (Division I) includes a combination of 10 automatic bids (1 per Region) and 10 strength bids (based on end-of-season official USA Ultimate College Rankings).

But do the rankings also determine the actual teams at the end of regionals?

Strength bids –

Does anyone else think they have adjusted drop rates in Iron Twins . . I used to get essence ~1 out 8 runs (12.5%) but that seems to have really dropped in the last month. In my last 54 runs I have only hit on essence 3 times (5.6% drop rate) and all less ones.

I know that Plarium screwed around with CB drop rates about year ago when some people basically only got Epic books for a month.

Is there any reference for what that drop rates on Iron Twins 15?

I just landed Lanakis in the double event and I have been using Kreela in a speed config for both CB and Arena. Hitting NM CB for 15-20M/key with a team of Kreela/Occult Brawler/Apo/Julianna and Tayrel . . .but only Tayrel and Julianna are in LS gear. I've been putting off putting Kreela in LS gear bcs of I need the speed for arena.

So my question is between Lanakis and Kreela is one a better fit in arena or CB over the other?

I have held off building out Fanye due to the low defense and not having an unkillable team but I'd like to give it a shot. Asking for the suggestions of who to pair her with for survivability in CB NM/UNM?

Drokgul? MM? Thensil?

Currently running a speed team of Kreela, Occult Brawler, Apo, Tayrel, and Juliana

​

Also have Stag Night, Royal Guard, Bulwark, Frozen Banshee as option but no counter attack champ.

I used Deadwood Jedi to speed tune for UNM and have Sepulcher at 234 speed. With a 2 turn delay the block should be timed for the stun round. My other champs are all 172-174 but it seems to de-couple at around turn 8 (or 11, I am not sure).

I can manual with FB's A2 to speed up just a touch on pre-stun turn but I don't think I should need to . . any suggestions? Did they speed up UNM with the recent update?

My arena team's base speed is

Jingle Hunter Spd 239, Apo 288, Rae 213, Big Un 197

After the aura and speed boost from Apo , , Jingle is 342, Rae 309, Big Un 288 . Jingle uses A3 to knock down the other team meter and than sometimes Big Un is going before Rae even when the other team hasn't made a move.

I could understand if it a targeted turn meter reduced Rae but that doesn't seem to happen . . she was consistently going faster with lower speed in Dev Spd gear but even though she is faster in Cruel set, effectively seems to go slower?

My Soulbound won't use her A3 on Auto and Maneater won't use his A2.

Is this a glitch? Is there anyway to work around aside from manual?

Trying to finish the arbiter missions and getting the auto on spiders 15 is giving me problems.

F2P tying to get more bang for the buck out of my CB team . .

Just picked of Frozen Banshee and wondering if pairing her with Gravechill Killer makes more sense that Kael.

Working with Ult Galek, Septimus, Apo and Maneater as the current core with Kael as the fifth doing ~7M/key on Brutal. Have a fully booked 60 level Coffin Smasher as well but Utl Galek has full masteries and so packs more punch.

Gravechill is basically undeveloped so it would be some work but FB is 45ish and since I decided to bag going for the fusion and I have bunch of dwarves I can use for food to take her sixty.

If the chest are the same no matter which CB is defeated . i.e. a Warrior Chest on Normal is the same chance of stuff as Warrior Chest on Easy or Hard, then why are there different levels to achieve the same chest. Why would there be 2 warrior chest on hard . . shouldn't it just be one with a larger range?

What the deal with doing the same events back to back? After you use all your resources why do another immediately?

10 days ago they did the same thing with artifact enhancement and just had two summon rushes in row as well. Now double training?

How does this make sense for anyone?

If I use a Cursed set, does having a high ACC have any impact?

I have two High Khatun , , . should I:

1. Keep one the vault in case there is ever a fusion event:

2. Use her for food;

3. Use her as a skill book:
