Hello and welcome to this Hot on the Trail Event Guide!
Let's start right away~
Note: This guide is based on the BETA. Officially released content might differ.

✦ 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 Physical DMG, SP gain/consumption, Elemental DMG and HP changes.
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.
For a more detailed explanation, here's my guide to the very first HotT:

✦ Hisui's reworked Tier list ✦
New Trial teams: Songque (MPS/LDS) | Thelema - JDS/LDS version | Luna - SSI/CE version | Senadina - SSI/VBs version |
1. Garuda (7.2)
2. Hare (7.2)
3. Aponia (7.2)
4. Mobius (7.3)
5. Luna - Eden edition (7.3)
6. Lantern - FL/MPS edition (7.6)
7. Silverwing - Kira edition (7.3)
8. Senadina - LDS/VBs edition (7.6) / Senadina - SSI/VBs version
Basically the same. In HotT it's barely possible to feel the difference between LDS and SSI.
9. Thelema - LDS/FL edition
Thelema feels way stronger now, idk...
10. Thelema - JDS/LDS version
Same as the one above, it's just weaker.
11. Luna - SSI/CE version
Not as painful as I would've thought, but CE is still a pain in HotT.
12. Herrscher Elysia - Kira edition (7.6)
13. Silverwing (7.2)
14. Songque (MPS/LDS)
Songque just isn't made for HotT with her being that dependent on her Outburst. Otherwise, she's still pretty strong.
15. Herrscher Elysia (7.2)
16. Vill-V (7.2)
17. Brick Senti (7.2)
18. Thelema - VBm/FL edition (7.3)
19. "Mars Trio" (7.3)
