2Crypt of the NecroDancer (PC(W,M,L)/Steam)
SYNCHRONY DLC (Early Access) v3.7.0-b4402 (2023 May 08)
Cavalcadence plays Cadence 77: Destructive Interference (All Zones Mode: SYNCHRONY)
Achievement: Destructive Interference
Description: Kill Dead Ringer with his own attack (Synchrony DLC Required)
So... when looking through the new Achievements, "Destructive Interference" is arguably the one that amused me the most. =) Based on the description, I was pretty sure it was basically just "use the Reflective Shield against Dead Ringer's super-dash attack", which sounded relatively straightforward... as long as you find the Reflective Shield at some point before the Dead Ringer battle, that is. ^_^
So anyway, I decided to give it a try! Finding a specific Shield seemed like it shouldn't be too bad, with the help of the Summoner and Transmog Shops... so I did keep in mind to try not spending too much gold in other places...
Anyway, long story short, on my first attempt, the game sent Cadence a relatively early Summoner (Cadence didn't have as much gold as I would've liked!), but also sent her a relatively late Transmog Shop (Cadence had a lot more gold by that point!)... so, overall, this ended up being a pretty good seed for Shield-hunting... and by the time she reached 4-3, Cadence had gotten the Reflective Shield. =)
The rest of the run went relatively smoothly (in part due to a 4-2 Titanium Spear & Sunglasses!), Cadence went into the Dead Ringer battle with an undamaged Reflective Shield... and emerged with the "Destructive Interference" Achievement! ^.^
So... anyway, here's the video! Hope you enjoy!
Some notes and possible points of interest:

4:48 Blast Helm & Glass Slippers!
5:01 Electric Dagger, nice! =)
5:36 Golden Cutlass!
- Electric Dagger can be a fun and effective weapon, but... IMO overall, Cutlass is a safer weapon, so...
- Oops, ran out of time while thinking about weapon choice, and wasn't able to get the torch as well. ^^
5:37 1-3
6:24 Hmm, not enough gold for the spear... though maybe we should be saving our money anyway, in case we need to buy a shield...
7:30 Mb: Gray Minotaur
8:08 Leprechaun & Lucky Charm!
8:32 Z1B: Fortissimole 1
8:40 Oh wait, we don't have max multiplier, ack, probably shouldn't open a path for Fortissimole until--
8:41 Coin multiplier lost. =p
8:51 Glass Slippers shattered! =/
8:53 Well, that definitely could've gone better... ^^;;
9:02 2-1
9:37 Chainmail & Backpack!
10:15 Torch. Getting a torch means one less chance to get the Reflective Shield, but... having the extra vision will definitely make the run safer, so... ^^
10:22 Titanium Shield &... Wooden Shield. Ah well, maybe shouldn't have spent money on the torch... though we should find a Transmog Shop at some point, and we've now removed 2 shields from the pool, so...
- [Also, whoops, was thinking too much about all this, I guess, and accidentally took Wooden instead of Titanium when leaving... ^^; ]
