Cavalcadence plays Aria 20: I ain't afraid o' no ghasts! (All Zones Mode: AMPLIFIED)
(No Nazar Charm challenge!)
For anybody who's interested in custom Cadences (or other characters), the official NecroDancer FAQ has some info about creating custom characters, and even has a link to the pinned thread on the official forums, where people have posted some of their custom creations:

So this is something I've been thinking about trying for quite a while... a "No Nazar Charm" challenge for Aria! =) Since Aria gets Zone 5 first, she can kind of "edit" her starting equipment by using the scatter trap... and deliberately not picking up certain items.
Like the Nazar Charm. =)
Anyway, basically, if the first level (5-1) didn't have a scatter trap, I'd restart... until I found one that did. This was the second run where I found a 5-1 scatter trap. The first run obviously didn't go so well... though interestingly, it wasn't one of the wraiths/ghasts/etc. that ended the run. ^^ This run went much better, though. =)
Anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!
Oh, if anybody's curious, I encountered (aggroed) a total of 14 enemies (assuming I counted correctly!) the Nazar Charm would normally have cancelled: 1 Cursed Wraith, 0 Ghouls (you can spot one in the lower right room of 4-3, but I didn't get close enough to aggro it), 1 Ghast, 5 Wights, and 7 Wraiths...
