✦ 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 SP gain/consumption, Elemental DMG, Weapon Skills and Combo Hits.

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 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:

With them putting every possible Part 2 team combination in the trials the good ol' tier list becomes stupid
Can't put 5 team combinations of every DPS
Anyway, the total score of my example videos is 289 281, which is 35k above what's needed for all rewards.
So you got this! :) Have fun
