✦ 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 Weapon Skills, Physical DMG, QTEs and Ultimates.
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.
If you struggle with HotT level up the Zones to level 5 before going for the highest score, it makes a big differencw.

✦ End Note ✦
Overall one of the easiest HotTs, probably because only 3 out of 12 stages are P1 teams.
Well, I hope I was able to help you! :)
On a side note, HotT is part of the reason I'm actually starting to like P2 teams more than P1 teams, they're just rlly flexible which is a great thing here. I still wonder why they don't make the stages harder with the valks growing so much stronger lol
