I have tried and tried and tried some more, and I have never been able to skip lapis. Closest I've been is 62%. For the drg player, do you basically use your standard opener and then save ogcds at optical sights to have another opener ready after limit cut? Or do you just need to go ham the whole time?

Also, any tips for a good opener on Scathach? I'd like to not take a vuln stack, but I'd also like to not lose a buffed GK or botd in general
