S Recovery DPC - vertical at the wall

Alternative placement.

Technically just 3 minimals. However, some queues might force building one of the TSD builds without a spin if you only use build minimals.
The L<S<J Kuruma DPC congruent guarantees at least TSS with all the TSD builds. If you use both Kuruma DPC congruents, you will only need the skim minimal for queues that cannot TSD/TSS with any of the TSD builds.

Extra (3)

Most of the time there is an easy solve (first minimal alone has 90.0% build cover).
However, when that's not the case, it can be tricky to spot a solve.

I recommend this qb-like method using Curated "minimals" to spot when it's safe to complete respective solves

Curated "Minimals" (5)

This method combines spin solves and minimals together with an additional solve (the last one for early J).
If used like this, the additional solve replaces the last minimal, creating a 5-solve set of curated "minimals".

Second curated "minimal" can sometimes be upgraded to the remaining extra skim TSS.
