No, he wasn't just seeing normal scratch damage, there was some other effect forcing them to scratch when the boss got near death. (Possibly an armor boost, so that a rare crit would still allow the kill OP reported.)

I saw the same behavior as Keinenyan in E4. During my ~40 farming runs in E4C and 13 runs to clear E4N, I usually entered night battle with the boss severely damaged (<100pts) and the friends never finished the boss once. That's too much of a coincidence.

You can't just write that off as scratch damage, unless you are going to claim all ships in the friend fleets (including BBs) scratched 43 times in a row.
