Cavalcadence plays Monk 3: Titanium Spear (& Ring of Wonder!) (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, I noticed that in both of my previous Monk videos, I used the same weapon for most of the run. And while the Blood Bow is, admittedly, a pretty good weapon for Monk... it's not the only weapon he can use effectively. =)
So I took a little break from Cadence Low Percent attempts and went back to Monk. And after both some decent runs (which ended for various reasons, including death-by-gold) and some not-so-decent runs (ditto)... I got this run, in which I got a Spear in 1-1 (nice!), and a Titanium Spear in 1-3 (nicer!). =)
Also, getting the Ring of Wonder in 2-2 definitely helped too... despite the fact that I forgot to use the extra damage to open boxes and barrels (I haven't gotten the Ring of Wonder very often, so I'm not all that used to using it). ^^;; It didn't end up making a huge difference in this run, but it's definitely something I'll try to keep in mind, the next time I find a Ring of Wonder. =)
Anyway, here it is... my first ever Monk + Titanium Spear win! Hope you enjoy!
The mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: Green Dragon, Gray Minotaur, Red Dragon, and Deep Blues 1.
Zone 2: Gray Direbat, Red Dragon, Green Banshee, and King Conga 2.
Zone 3: Banshee, Blood Nightmare, Gray Minotaur, and Coral Riff 3.
Zone 4: Blue Dragon, Green Banshee, Blood Nightmare, and Death Metal 4.

10:22 Zone 2, Level 2
11:03 Potion!
11:08 Mini-boss: Red Dragon
12:02 Plate Armor!
12:08 Ring of Charisma. Not what I was hoping for, but at least it'll make the next Transmogrification cheaper. ^^
12:11 Ring of Becoming? Not what I was hoping for either. Oh, wait! I'm in a Transmog Shop! Can I...? Do I have enough money to...?
12:24 Woo! Ring of Wonder! =) For those who haven't heard of the Ring of Wonder, the quick explanation is: it's arguably the best ring in the game, but it can only be created by transmogrifying or transmuting a Ring of Becoming (the worst ring in the game).
