    Screwed over again and again: Labyrinth Edition

    As often as I get screwed over in lab, a bad teleport, a string of unlucky destiny tiles, or a poorly placed bomb, it's often all I can do to make sure I successfully complete it each time without spending freaking gems to change the event -- and half the time, it gets changed to exactly the same thing! That was all fine, as long as I get a token, a star, and the extra boss as rewards for completing the labyrinth. If you fail to complete it, or are literally unable to complete it, you get the basic rewards for your score but none of the bonuses.

    Now, if you don't get at least a score of 500, you're not rewarded, as if you didn't finish the maze at all? What is up with that? For the cost of 30 or 60 stamina you can only do twice a day, it was pretty reasonable to be guaranteed at least one lab token for the efforts of finishing the maze. The free change event and skip were saved for the end, in case there's a teleport, destiny, or bomb just before the boss. I've had the very first step teleport me directly to the boss for a final score of 55, and on numerous other occasions my trip has been cut short by rogue teleports. Sometimes, destiny tiles are just hateful, reducing your moves and hemming in a dead end to make you waste a bunch of steps. I think it's reasonable to have a reward tier at 500, because it can be quite a feat to get that. It's completely unreasonable to take away the completion rewards for a score lower than 500, because sometimes there's literally nothing you can do to avoid a low score.

    It's patently absurd that a score of 490 gets the same reward as a complete failure.

    Lab tokens are indispensable as the only way to get spirit plans, but even with bad luck someone can spend 90 stamina to get 2 lab tokens a day. Now we can't even get that. Coins and credits can come from anywhere, so who cares about the upgraded rewards. We NEED tokens when we finish lab, period.

    AREN'T THERE ENOUGH WAYS FOR BAD LUCK TO SCREW US OVER ALREADY?

    Are you sure this is the way it works now? I played and I think I got a token for being under 500 score. Or was I just lucky on the shuffle and pick?

    Hint: Always pick the 2nd card from the left of the shuffle deck...

    I believe the Rewards ar eextra above and beyond what you normally get.

    I just did a run with 640 points so 2 extra bosses
    1 token on a flip 1 chip on a flip
    got the 1 token from basic rewards
    and 1 token for completing the lab so 3 tokens in total

    I finished this morning with an unlucky run and beat the boss with a sub-500 score, but only got coins, credits and exp for it. The new ending screen popped up and the "Basic Ending Rewards" section was simply empty, no token or any other reward for finishing the maze. I did get the bonus boss and got some other stupid reward from the roulette.

    Unless the token stealthily showed up in my pocket without the display of receiving it. I didn't check on the exact number of tokens I had before and after the run. I'll keep an eye on it now.

    If this is the way it works now then its going to take forever to get spirit gear and yet more player will simply drop out of play...

    99% sure you still get a token if you beat the guardian regardless of score and it doesnt show up on the screen taht you got it. ANd teh token in the rewards section for scores above 500 is in addition to the one you receive for defeating the guardian

    Ok i can confirm with a score below 500 you still get a token if you beat the guardian. I just did a run of 110 points to be sure. I received 2 tokens 1 for the guardian boss as usual and 1 on a flip for the 1st extra boss
