Normally this sort of thing would be easy because defender modifies attack dice before attacker, and attacker modifies defense dice before defender. However, in this case, your attacker is the one spending the focus token and using A Score To Settle (or A Debt To Pay). In this case, thethey get to choose the order of their focus token and their focus->crit effect, so they'd choose the focus->crit first, then focuses->hits second.

Hotshot Co-Pilot doesn't stop A Score To Settle.
