Strategy[]
Items[]
Since Cadence starts in pretty weak condition, the player has to avoid the level's Boss/Mini-Boss as long as they did not manage to gear up through buying better equipment in shops or through chests.
Choral[]
Choral has the same mechanics as Cadence and is played by player 2 in co-op or can be selected in gameplay options [1].
Trivia[]
- Her age is unknown, but it is probable she's no more 17-18 years old, as she was still a growing child two years before the main events of the game.
- In music, a cadence is a progression of chords that ends a phrase, section, or composition (harmonic cadence) or a rhythmic pattern that indicates the end of a phrase (rhythmic cadence), with the purpose of creating a feeling of resolution. This may be related to how, in the game's story, Cadence is searching for her own resolution as to what happened to her father, Dorian.
- In a more literal sense, the word cadence comes from the Latin word cadentia, which means "a falling". Cadence became cursed by the NecroDancer after he revived her from a lethal fall into the crypt.
- Choral is named after choral music, which is music written to be performed by an ensemble of multiple singers (called a choir or chorale). This fits her role as the character assigned to player 2 when there are multiple players.
- Cadence meets Link and Princess Zelda in the game Cadence of Hyrule.
- Her birthday is April 10th.
