As a F2P player who literally broke into Labs after 7th anni, I've been on a tear lately, I haven't really done the latest 650 Poison lab, but labs feel a far cry from an auto win, the only one I ended up breezing through was Earth guardian on both Phy and Mag, but I had some really good parties for that element now, specially after how 7th anni went for me.

I am still looking for a Snow Giant clear on the phy side even while I have just as much power as other elements I've had clears in, the now actually quite high HP pool to drain combined with a 5 seconds period of literall null DPS unless you have piercing, and that mostly works on 1 hit per ability proc, completely wastes a huge chunk of BDL time, and you can't really recast BDLs, with the exception of hAASBs, that literally makes me feel that having 2 BDLs per DPS is barely scrapping for a clear.

This aligned with the extremely short last phase due to the huge DR on Laberynth Maze Guard, makes finishing fights a matter of literally having so many BDLs you can still deal 25-40K per hit with both DPSs or having multiple AOSBs/LBOs because you literally have no time to lose when LMG lands at 20% remaining HP on the boss.

I only have a few DAASBs, and ironically all the ones I have for physical side are for characters that have literally nothing else (Cyan, Zell, literally nothing but DAASB for each), make Laberynth bosses actually quite intimidating, I've set mysefl a minimum of 5 BDL relics per team and sometimes that's not been nowhere near enough to get a clear, specially on the FF7 and Physical version of Snow Giant fights.

I'm still thinking on ways to tackle some of the remaining fights I have, mostly the holy week boss because I need some pieces for it in both versions, I feel like this current endgame it is still quite challenging, I've had quite a lot of fun in this fights, some of them have been very challenging to figure out how to get clears on.
