Kind of related raid question *SP* (Destiny)

Can someone explain this part to me?

During the Calus fight, there is the segment where the "home" team stands in the warlock buff zone and the floor is lava. The multiplier goes up. Then Guardian tells me to take down Calus' shields. What exactly is happening then? What affects the multiplier going up? Am I not supposed to shoot the shields before that ???

During that portion, the Away team (Dark blue world with giant head) is shooting skulls that fly out of Calus's mouth (it doesn't make sense in context either). Each skull destroyed is a damage stack, and the goal is to get as much of a multiplier as possible before the timer runs out.

The Home team outside in the Throne room is directly in control of how much time the people inside have. Once Calus's shields are popped, the time is up. The entire time that this is happening, Calus starts building a charge that turns the entire room into a microwave, so unless you're inside a Healing Rift, you're continuously taking damage. The goal is to give the Away team as much time as possible to shoot the skulls, but if you wait too long, Calus will finish charging his attack, and he'll wipe the whole team.

Once his shields are popped, the multiplier stops building, and teleportation orbs appear for the Away team to use to come back into the Throne room with the damage stacks that they built.
