I found this thread interesting, I have enough power to do any lab up to level 3 normal WITHOUT using maria. And I STILL can't seem to get 700 scores in normal mode more than maybe once or Twice a week. (By the way MisChief, nice smash last night in CW, stood no chance at all against you.) I used to be able to get them a lot more often, I think Tynon put a nerf in for labs to make it harder to get higher scores, OR it's predetermined luck based on the character at creation like so many other things in Tynon. Still having issues with the round limit on level 3 normal extra bosses, but already have 4 sirius spirits from saving tokens. Have 3 spare heroes I use for boss fights however, and one is a recent addition so only has an HB spirit and been trying to win a champ for over 130 tokens. Had about half a dozen, maybe a few more 700+ and either there's no plan in the shuffle or I miss it. The "lab cheat" has never worked for me, yet I see it being done daily with 800+ scores by one player sometimes as many as 3 times in an hour, so know it must work for some. I'm sitting on all the mats for all but half a justice and a judgement now waiting to win the plans since the tokens are for another sirius spirit, not just for a "boss fight spare". I've always enjoyed the lab, but over the last several months, perhaps as many as 6, I've lost a lot of the enjoyment from it due to 700+ scores being more difficult to get for some reason.

The difficulty for me, getting 700+ started about the same time that losing half your HP changed from 20 points to 10 points, whenever that change was made.

i thought its always been 10 points for -1/2HP and 5 pts for +HP ...
anyhow, you can do all lab stages without maria because pent and khan can perfectly duo it all the way thru
PS: the trick isnt to get 700+ (just dont hit destiny and try to repeat questions and/or double them up), the real art is to get 800+ without cheating it.
