Coliseum Scoring; Is This A Bug? DEFINITELY A BUG!

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I just don't understand the scoring metric in the new Coliseum event. When I attack the boss, I seem to get one wave that affects the boss's health and percent defeat, then it sticks and I only increase my total score by 1 with each subsequent attack until he kills me. For example, I was able to defeat the first tier on my first attack, having done massive damage to reach 100% defeat; in tier 2, I hit hard on go 1, got 60% damage, but then it stuck at 60% no matter how many times I hit him after that and how long I kept my guys alive. I understand the boss gets stronger as my score goes up, but I should be doing at least some damage in subsequent attacks.

Perhaps a more detailed explanation of scoring metrics would be helpful. I've searched online and scoured the forums, but I haven't found anything explaining this issue.

    Update: I whaled a little and got myself up enough to beat tier 2. Now I can't get more than 10% on tier 3. Same issue as listed above. If anyone has a link to a scoring metric description, it would be greatly appreciated.

    I think it's just a balance thing.  Coliseum bosses have ramping damage and, more relevant to your question, ramping damage reduction.  Sounds like you're maxing the damage reduction at your current level.  Only leveling your character up higher will overcome it.

    The method of damage reduction is what's relegating you to 1 damage.

    Watch Ahnold's video. Same thing happened to him, and he seems puzzled by it too. He whaled more than me and got stuck at 12% before only hitting for 1 damage

    Update #2: This is definitely a bug report now. With the new boss, I easily beat tier 1 and 2, then just as before, got hung up on tier 3. I was able to get off roughly two decent vollies, getting damage up to 10% before only getting 1 hit point per attack. Unlike the first boss, though, this boss didn't ramp up his damage. I played for over 5 minutes before realizing I was going to struggle to end the battle without forfeiting; I put it on auto-basic (so I wouldn't heal myself), and it still took the better part of 20 mins for the bosses to whittle me away, during which time I got off at least 500 attacks (if my math is right)!
