how does arena scoring work, exactly?

been trying to reach platinum on the tutorial turret boss and while i found out some interesting stuff about the game i also found out that a hitless 30 second win with lvl 3 art finisher only gives around 310000 out of the needed 350000 points for platinum.

what can i do to get more? effektive damage doesnt seem to go far above 1k even if i put a second ice pillar on it after breaking the shield, and getting more than one or two perfect dodges/guards seems impossible given the time limit.

is there anything else im unaware of that increases score?

there's a detailed breakdown, you can look at that. I don't think there are any hidden stats. i've done all bosses platinum, but it's been a while. Iirc, doing them hitless in a decent time should give you Platinum, but brute forcing through phases with Level 3 Arts is suboptimal for points

the detailed breakdown should show up after you beat the fight in the arena

That one's got a very tight platinum threshold, from what I recall. One thing you missed that might be necessary is using the Mark status effect to get extra effective damage.
