Cavalcadence plays Nocturna 1: Intro & Zone 1
So... Crypt of the NecroDancer: AMPLIFIED, the long-awaited DLC, was released earlier today! ^_^
So of course, the first thing I did was try out the new character: Nocturna. =) Since Zone 5 was unlocked initially, I was tempted to jump right into Zone 5... but I figured it might be best to play through the other Zones with Nocturna first, just to get a better feel for how she plays, without having to worry about figuring out new enemies and hazards at the same time.
As it turns out, though, some of the Zone 5 enemies and hazards actually leak into the earlier Zones for Nocturna... so I did have to figure out new enemies and hazards after all. ^^;
Anyway, here's my first time ever playing Nocturna! I definitely made some mistakes, but I also learned a lot... hope you enjoy!
The mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: Green Dragon, Minotaur, Red Dragon, & Death Metal 1.
Some notes and possible points of interest:

2:40 Gluttony Charm & Ham!
2:48 Transform! Bat-Nocturna! ^_^
2:53 Hmm, Bat-Nocturna can't dig... but she doesn't lose her coin multiplier by bumping into walls. Maybe to make up for the fact that her bat form can't dig-buffer, I guess?
3:06 Oh, looks like Bat-Nocturna does extra damage! ^_^
3:12 ...and can see enemies in shadows! Interesting! Night vision, I guess, since bats are nocturnal. ^^
3:28 Oh, right... can't dig. ^^;
3:30 Transform! Oh, looks like she takes damage when she transforms back?
3:45 Mini-boss: Green Dragon
3:48 Transform! I know Bat-Nocturna does as least 2 damage, but I wonder if she does 3?
