Cavalcadence plays Eli 2: Low Percent Win! (All Zones Mode)
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... v1.24 introduced a number of fixes, changes, and additions... and one of the biggest additions to the game is that the two soundtrack remixes from the PlayStation version have finally been added to the Steam version! =)
- A "Retro Freestyle" remix by Virt (Jake Kaufman), which appears to be Eli's default soundtrack now.
- A "Synthwave" remix by Girlfriend Records, which appears to be Bard's default soundtrack now.
New soundtracks seemed like as good an excuse as any to revisit these two characters, who I haven't played in... uh, quite a while. ^^; So I did. =)
I'd heard that Eli was one of the easier characters to get a Low Percent win with, so I figured why not give that a try? =) Of course, given my general unfamiliarity with Eli strategies, it probably wasn't going to be as easy as I'd heard. And sure enough, my first few runs were pretty bad. =p Anyway, after quite a number of runs, and quite a lot of learning and re-learning strategies (Eli plays quite differently from everybody else due to not having a standard weapon!)... I was feeling much more comfortable with Eli. And eventually, through some combination of practice and luck, I finally managed to get the Low Percent win!
And for anybody who was curious, yes, Eli Low Percent does seem to be easier than Cadence Low Percent. ^^;;
So anyway, here it is... my first ever Eli Low Percent win! Hope you enjoy!
The mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: Minotaur, Red Dragon, Gray Minotaur, and Deep Blues 1.
Zone 2: Red Dragon, Gray Direbat, Blood Nightmare, and King Conga 2.
Zone 3: Gray Minotaur, Green Banshee, Blood Nightmare, and Coral Riff 3.
Zone 4: Ogre, The Mommy, Green Banshee, and Death Metal 4.
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:07 Zone 1, Level 1
0:58 Mini-boss: Minotaur
1:22 First coin multiplier lost. I was hoping to kick the bomb to get rid of the red bat, but the red bat didn't move the way I was hoping it would... so rather than blow up the gold for no reason, I decided to leave the bomb alone... but unfortunately, took too long to decide. ^^;
1:31 Zone 1, Level 2
2:02 Mini-boss: Red Dragon
2:38 Leprechaun!
2:48 Ack, did that wrong. =p Well at least I gained more gold than I lost. ^^
3:17 Zone 1, Level 3
3:31 You know... let's just blow up that drumstick, so I don't accidentally pick it up. ^^;
3:52 Mini-boss: Gray Minotaur
4:16 Zone 1, Boss: Deep Blues 1
4:23 Whoops, went one tile too far and missed the King. =p
4:32 Oof, took two hearts of damage during that battle! Definitely not the start I was looking for in a Low Percent run. =/
4:37 Zone 2, Level 1
4:58 Mini-boss: Red Dragon
5:29 Zone 2, Level 2
6:02 Mini-boss: Gray Direbat
6:30 Zone 2, Level 3
7:11 Mini-boss: Blood Nightmare
7:42 Zone 2, Boss: King Conga 2
8:19 Flawless Victory! I'm still not used to fighting King Conga with Eli (I probably just need to practice with the Bossmaster some more)... but at least this time, it all seemed to work out. ^^;
8:28 Zone 3, Level 1
9:18 Double-bomb to get rid of the box, the shrine, and their contents. ^^
10:05 Mini-boss: Gray Minotaur
10:27 Zone 3, Level 2
11:01 Bombing to get rid of some ice...
11:14 Mini-boss: Green Banshee
11:29 Zone 3, Level 3
12:42 Mini-boss: Blood Nightmare
13:12 Zone 3, Boss: Coral Riff 3
13:50 Flawless Victory!
13:56 Zone 4, Level 1
15:28 Mini-boss: Ogre
16:04 Zone 4, Level 2
17:44 Mini-boss: The Mommy
18:20 Trying to destroy the sarcophagus while it's not in view, so that it can't spawn any enemies. =)
18:31 Zone 4, Level 3
19:53 Mini-boss: Green Banshee
20:45 Zone 4, Boss: Death Metal 4
20:55 Heh, let's just get rid of that teleport mage before we enter the room... =)
21:22 Flawless Victory!
21:24 My first ever Eli Low Percent win! =)
