Details

  1. Hot on the Trail consists of Elemental Zone, Joint Zone, Ultimate Zone, and Weapon Zone. When a specific zone is available, you can repeatedly challenge the stages of a Zone to level up the Zone and receive more points.
  2. The event Zones will open up in order over time. The schedule is as follows:
    1. Elemental Zone: 10:00, JUL 27
    2. Joint Zone: 10:00, JUL 29
    3. Ultimate Zone: 10:00, JUL 31
    4. Weapon Zone: 10:00, AUG 3
  3. Each stage has different Hunting Instincts, and you can fight more effectively by choosing the Hunting Instinct that suits your strategy. Meanwhile, each Zone has an active skill that is shared across its stages. Use the active skill at the right time to boost the effectiveness of Hunting Instincts.
  4. You can select 6 buffs before you start a stage. You can activate 2 buffs each time you reach Floor 1/3/5. Defeat 6 floors of enemies before the timer ends to win. The buffs include stage-exclusive buffs and universal buffs. Since stage-exclusive buffs are generally superior to universal buffs, it's recommended that you select stage-exclusive buffs when possible.
  5. Clearing stages rewards you with points and Bounties for the respective Zones. Spend Bounties to level up Zones. The higher the Zone level, the better the buffs provided by Hunting Instincts. After leveling up Zones, you can challenge more difficult stages and get more points and Bounties from each battle.
  6. There is a cap to the obtainable Bounties in each Zone, but first-clear Bounties don't count towards the cap. Therefore, it's recommended that you obtain all first-clear Bounties of a Zone before repeatedly playing its stages to obtain the remaining Bounties. You can clear stages on any difficulty to obtain first-clear Bounties. Choose a difficulty that suits you and start challenging~
  7. You need to assemble your team from a limited roster. If you need help defeating enemies, each stage provides trial characters and lineup tutorials.
