Question on Summer of Pain final week scoring from last year - to help with my EoP plan

Last year I wasn’t Thronebreaker when Summer of Pain happened - was a lowly cavalier with no R3’s - so I only scored 4 points and didn’t bother with the final week/multi-boss part of the event.
With EoP I’m obviously doing better (6 points so far) as I am Thronebreaker now and have a much more developed roster. That said, I’m guessing I won’t be getting all of the bosses down in the multi-boss event the final three weeks without investing units, which I’m reluctant to do at a significant level ahead of July 4th.
This leads me to my question for those of you who participated in Summer of Pain last year: For the last week, do you need to fully complete the quest to get any points, or can you get 1-2 points from killing the first boss or two even if you don’t finish the full quest/kill all the bosses?
Thank you

So whatever worked last year might not be a viable strategy this time
I think final week has 4 fights & 5 points
May be 1 fight for each point & 1 point for completion
I don't think there will be anything for individual fights. After all, you're already doing the individual fights now and getting rewarded for it.
Now, the final challenge is here with a completion point and four objectives. You’re already at 12 points and your peak milestones available is 16. What do you get for that extra milestone, which probably requires multiple clears? You turn a nexus into a class nexus, turn 10 random stones into generics, and 10% t6b and t3a. If you’re already farming resources to get through individual fights, you won’t be able to affordably make it through the finale.
The value of time, items, and rankup materials is subjective, but the 12-16 jump (or lack thereof) and the 6-8 jump (or was it 4-6?) are confounding to me.
The structure is very different this time around where we get to bring 3 champs to do all 4 fights one after the other. We don't know what the objectives will look like yet, but with Paragon having 6 objectives and Thronebreaker having 4, it seems possible that you will have to beat it with certain champs on your team. I imagine there will be at least 1 really hard objective for most TB and at least 2 really hard ones for Paragon. We also get 3 weeks to beat it, so we have plenty of time to keep trying over and over again.
Now if there’s a way to get 4 points at once, I’d probably eat the cost even if it’s unpleasant.
I think there will be just those 4 bosses from each week on a straight line.
If they’re being generous, it’ll be to clear with one of those champs on your team so you could mix and match, clear twice, and get all points.
