>>44586558CS2 at 3/5 makes more sense. Skyla should get you to +6 defense and then you get a sync move every 3 turns which is +2 defense (high five 2) to offset the -3 from 3 turns of clanging scales. Effectively you only lose 1 defense every 3 full turn rotations doing this and most things will be dead before you even start to go negative.
