As part of my insane rules for this league, one of them was to clear each beach of everything - drowned, spitters, corpse, chests, barrels, etc.

My witch got UberH at lvl 10.03.....my templer at 8.16....both of them cleared Twilight.

Currently my duelist is at 10.06 - still no UberH and he 'mostly' ran to Hillock from level 6.5 onwards.....

POERNG is rng.....Twilight is just microcosm.

@ChzBoi, are you still not allocating passive points as part of your rules?

That's one of them! :-)

realized I typo'd..

My witch got UberH at lvl 9.03.....my templer at 8.16....both of them cleared Twilight.

Currently my duelist is at 9.06 - still no UberH and he 'mostly' ran to Hillock from level 6.5

sorry...no way I would get to 10.....or...could I??....

I like the grind of it so I just do it on 4 toons each league now. It’s a long sad process but feels good whenever he appears

Nevermind, just got it at 6.78. About 7.5 hours total farming across four characters.

I am at 8.2, 7.5 and just about 6.
One of my kids b-day tonight so busy with that.
Gonna be some farming this weekend though.

I know Uber Hillock can spawn before level 7 now, but is the spawn chance the same at all levels? Or is there an increased spawn chance at 7+?
In other words, is it more efficient to level to 7 first by killing additional mobs, or is it better to always rush to Hillock?

Before 7 chance is much much lower. One of players met him at lvl5 couldnt kill him. After 7 chance gets bigger.

Most efficient way is to create 5 scions level them till 7 and then do Hillock runs only. Maps starts run for Hillock, kill it, next char. The pain is to reach that 7 lvl on them but works best. At least for me.

Thanks! That answered my question perfectly.

Yes, once into level 7 make as straight a run as you can up the beach and don't go off course to kill all side area zombies (only those that are in range on the straight run). Rinse and repeat.

Does seem like once you hit level 8 the odds of finding Uber Hillock go up significantly over level 7. I've gotten 90%+ of my Oni swords on level 8 characters (up to over 1 dozen in total now). My first Delve expansion Oni was at level 8 @ 20%.
