Rarely with C&D, often with Phoenix Dive, and Literally. Every. Time. with Tactical Retreat. I have died exactly three times by tactically retreating out of opera range. I can recall two fights specifically;
Once while fighting a Magister Knight in the area before where Gareth is, and twice while fighting Alexander. The reason I tried it the second time around, was because Alexander was blinded at the time. Apparently, this does not stop opportunity attacks.
