Cavalcadence plays Nocturna 11: Green Bat #29 (Hard 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 actually been doing some Hard Mode Low Percent attempts with Melody and Nocturna... mainly because those two seem like the most likely characters for me to be able to complete a Hard Mode Low Percent run with. ^^
Anyway, during one of my Nocturna Low Percent attempts... this run happened.
Yep, Green Bat #29! =) My first ever Green Bat in Hard Mode! Though definitely not my first during a Low Percent attempt. ^^;
Anyway, I'd been playing relatively well, so rather than give up on the Low Percent attempt, I thought I'd keep going and see how far I could get. I didn't manage to make it all the way through... but IMO I didn't do too bad, either. =)
Anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!
The Green Bat was encountered (Zone 2, Level 1) at around: 4:25
The mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: (Green Dragon & Direbat), (Gray Minotaur & Red Dragon), (Red Dragon & Gray Minotaur), (Fortissimole 1 & Gray Minotaur & Red Dragon).
Zone 2: (Gray Minotaur & Banshee), (Red Dragon & Gray Direbat), (Gray Minotaur & ?), (Death Metal 2 & Blood Nightmare & Green Banshee).
Zone 3: (Gray Minotaur & Blue Dragon), (Blood Nightmare & Green Banshee), (Gray Minotaur & Blue Dragon).
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:10 1-1
0:21 Mb: Green Dragon & Direbat
0:27 Ow. =/ Should've attacked the orc instead... or dig-buffered. Ah well, only half a heart of damage, though, so that's okay for now. ^^
0:52 1-2
1:25 Hoping to get a pile of gold for the Leprechaun, but... scroll. =p
1:40 Mb: Gray Minotaur
1:49 Mb: Red Dragon. Oh, that'll work for the Leprechaun! =)
2:18 Leprechaun!
2:55 1-3
3:10 Yeah, let's get rid of that bounce trap. =)
3:20 Might as well get rid of that blue sarcophagus as well. Conveniently-placed bomb trap! =)
3:29 Mb: Red Dragon
3:33 Mb: Gray Minotaur
3:53 Zone 1, Boss & Mini-bosses: Fortissimole 1 & Gray Minotaur & Red Dragon
4:12 Flawless!
4:15 2-1
4:20 Mb: Gray Minotaur & Banshee
4:25 Wait, was that a...? Green Bat! =)
4:44 Thinking about whether to keep going with Low Percent, or make this a normal run...
4:52 Hmm, you know what? I got pretty far last time, and so far I'm doing pretty well on this run... let's see how far I can take this Low Percent run! =)
4:52 2-2
5:14 Mb: Red Dragon
5:38 Mb: Gray Direbat
6:04 2-3
6:45 Mb: Gray Minotaur
8:04 Zone 2, Boss & Mini-bosses: Death Metal 2 & Blood Nightmare & Green Banshee
8:49 Flawless!
8:53 3-1
8:55 Transform! =) I've found that Bat-Nocturna can be pretty useful for Hard Mode Zone 3, both for mapping purposes... and because she's immune to floor hazards! With all the enemies that create floor hazards in Zone 3, and blue sarcophagi that keep creating more... huge patches of the Hard Mode Zone 3 floor can become pretty dangerous, if you don't know where you're going, take too long, and don't have any boots. ^^;;
9:17 Mb: Gray Minotaur & Blue Dragon
9:41 3-2
9:50 Mini-swarm?
9:54 Ow, and ow again. =/
10:10 Whew, that could've gone better, but... made it through! =)
10:11 Mb: Blood Nightmare & Green Banshee
10:43 3-3
10:43 Mb: Gray Minotaur & Blue Dragon
10:44 Eep! 3-3 swarm! ^^;;
10:49 Transform! I think I'm going to need the parry to have a chance of surviving this swarm! ^^;
11:12 Oh wow, I actually survived! Half a heart left, but... ^^
11:13 Hmm, looks like the dragon's stuck. =p There's barely any room to approach it without getting hit by the ice breath, though. =/
11:14 Looking at this now, I really should've dug upward to try to get the dragon unstuck that way (or bombed into the shop to lead the dragon down there (where there would've been more room) instead)... but that didn't occur to me at the time, probably because I was thinking too much about half a heart of health, all the floor hazards, and a nearby blue sarcophagus... ^^;;
11:56 "You died! Press Up + Down to continue." What...? Oh, diagonal movement. =p Ah well. =)
