✦ Short event explanation ✦

Hot on the Trial has a total of 4 Zones which unlock over time. Each zone is focused on one theme, in this season those will be Elemental DMG, Physical DMG, SP loss/gain and Weapon Skills.

Each zone has three stages to clear, the points of those get added together for the total Score.

Faster clear -> more points

The higher your score, the more rewards. To get all rewards, you need a total score of 252 000.

On average you'll need 63 000 points a zone or 21 000 a boss.

Bounties are basically coins you use to upgrade the Zone levels.

Each Zone has its own bounty, meaning there's a total of 4 different bounties.

Those bounties are gained by completing stages in the fitting zone.

Level up the Zones to level 5 before going for the highest score, it makes a big difference.

This time we have all Valkyries of the zone available in every stage, allowing you to choose your 3 trial Valkyries more freely each time.

✦ Energy Zone ✦

For adjusted rotations, please watch the video

✧ Energy: Treshold ✧

Recommended team: Herrscher of Finality / Herrscher of Truth / Herrscher of Origin

Note: HTR Combo can be skipped first rotation

The active skill should be used when switching from HoO to HoFi.

✧ Energy: Consumption ✧

Recommended team: Herrscher of Human: Ego / Jade Knight / Reverist Calico

Note: Ideally you do not want RC's QTE. Best way to do this is waiting a second before doing JK's Ultimate so the RC's CD is short enough so u can switch into her right away, but still on when JK does her Combo ATK so her QTE doesn't get triggered.

Watch the video to see what I mean~

The active skill should be used when the animation of HHEs Combo ATK in Herrscher form starts.

✧ Energy: Bleed ✧

Recommended team: Lunar Vow: Crimson Love / Herrscher of Truth / Golden Diva

The active skill should be used shortly before your Biting Mark runs out.
