That's too simplistic a way of looking at things. That's like saying that mastering your basic tennis form would help you better get the hang of a hypothetical tennis game which is played with two balls at once. The addition of Ophis' power doesn't mean it abides by the same rules, if anything, it changes those rules completely, so there's no reason to believe improvement of CxC will translate to improvement of DxD.
