Cavalcadence plays Mary 11: Green Bat #39: Randomized! (Randomizer Mode: AMPLIFIED)


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 I've been doing some Randomizer score runs with Mary lately. Interestingly, getting the Crown of Greed is a lot easier in Randomizer, because the Shopkeeper's traits will be randomized, so most of the time he'll have a lot less health, and one bomb will finish him off (and if the bomb doesn't finish him off, your spear probably will, and if it doesn't, he'll probably do a lot less damage than normal, allowing you to "tank" some damage, etc, etc...).

Seeing how the Randomized Shopkeeper tended to be much easier to defeat, I started wondering about the Green Bat. If the Green Bat's traits were also randomized, that'd probably make it eaiser to defeat (e.g. 4-way movement, slow movement, less damage, etc). Which got me thinking... maybe Green Bats weren't allowed to appear in Randomizer Mode, for exactly that reason. Or maybe they were allowed, but wouldn't be randomized...


So anyway... I was doing some Randomizer score runs, and... this run happened. Yep, Green Bat #39! So apparently, Green Bats are allowed in Randomizer, and though it did still have 8-way random movement (which may or may not have been a randomly-selected trait), its other traits did seem to be randomized! The rest of the run wasn't all that memorable (1-2 end)... but at least I was able to verify that Green Bats can appear in Randomizer Mode! ^_^

Anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!


The Green Bat was encountered (Zone 1, Level 1) at around: 0:31

Some notes and possible points of interest:

0:09 1-1
0:25 Longsword!
0:31 ...wait, was that a Green Bat? Oh wow, I guess Green Bats can appear in Randomizer Mode! ^^ Whoops, better take care of this Blue Bat first... ^^;
0:42 Okay, let's see... the Green Bat seems to be acting the same... random, 8-way movement... Oh wait, looks like it's ground-based instead of flying! Wow, that'd be pretty annoying if a Green Bat stepped on a spike trap or trapdoor... though there don't seem to be any here, so... ^^ Okay, time to hunt the rare ground-based Green Bat! =)
1:05 Ow... oh, but then it hopped into my attack range! ^^ Let's see... yeah, it did less damage than normal (0.5 instead of 1.5), and I'm pretty sure that was a smaller base gold drop... so yeah, it looks like Green Bats do get randomized, at least to some degree. It did still have 8-way random movement... so it's possible that's a non-randomizable trait for Green Bats... or the movement traits just happened to randomly get assigned that way. If I ever encounter another Green Bat in Randomizer, I'll have to see if it also has 8-way random movement or not. ^^ Anyway, back to the run! I think I'll make this a normal run instead of a score run, and see how far I can get. ^_^
1:36 Hmm, let's see if I can make a pile of 50 for the Leprechaun...
1:56 Mb: Green Dragon ...and it seems to have gotten stuck. =p I guess that'll make it easier to deal with the Leprechaun, but it does mean I'll have to head back that way after visiting the shop, since the dragon can't chase me. =/
2:12 Leprechaun! =) ...very slow Leprechaun. =/ Having the extra gold would be nice, though, in case there's something useful in the 1-1 or 1-2 shop, so...
2:46 Battle Shovel! Hmm, might as well get those bombs too. Okay, let's get back to the dragon! Is there enough time left in the song...?
3:07 "Song ended! Next level" ...guess not. =p
3:08 1-2
3:09 What? Ack! Diagonal-moving blue bat!
3:10 "You died! Press up + down to continue." Run ended by: Slow Leprechaun and diagonal blue bat. Ah well. ^^
