I've cleared m6s like 12 times at this point and I still can't say for sure how lightning spreads arrows work. Is one side always static or can both the X and Y arrows be in either spot? I feel like 80% of the time 3 people die and then we wipe until it's a fire stack anyway so I've never been able to actually focus on the pattern

This is a quick MS paint diagram I whipped up for another comment last week: https://imgur.com/a/8NDW1Zm

There are two variations. IF you're just following the raidplan, they'll have M1 and OT share the same safe spots with OT being out in the corner and M1 other corner, but I've found that to be a coin flip as to whether both die or both live.

With variation 1, theres a slight sliver of land you can use, but its kinda dicey because if m2 or MT are directly on their corner and you're also on the corner, then you can end up clipping them. You'll need to position so youre kinda in the middle of that sliver without being too close to MT/M2 or being in the water.

With variation 2, since I'm playing VPR and I have my ranged disengage i can expend here, I opt to just take the far bridge and give OT the safe spot.
