Cadence is an unreleased Hero in Deadlock. She is an Ixian woman and the lead singer of the jazz band Cadence and the Requiem Boys.
Abilities[edit | edit source]
Cadence has music-based abilities.
- Anthem: Burst into an inspiring song! You and any ally that comes within range get an instant reload with an extra large clip, and have a Fire Rate bonus that increases until the song ends.
- Silence Contraptions: Disarm yourself and perform a long-range dash melee attack. For the duration of the song, you remain disarmed and your melee abilities apply a debuff that disarms and EMP's enemy targets.
- Lullaby: Lull your foes to sleep! Any enemy that comes in range of Cadence sleeps until woken by damage, Cadence goes out of range, or the song ends. Cadence has bonus regeneration while singing.
- Crescendo (Ultimate): Encase nearby enemies in glass in an increasing range over a short duration. Cadence then breaks the glass with her powerful voice, breaking any shields on the them, damaging them, and giving them massive bullet vulnerability for a duraiton after.

Background[edit | edit source]
Lore[edit | edit source]
Cadence is the lead singer of the jazz band Cadence and the Requiem Boys. She sings the hit song "Paying the Price".[1] She is a side character in Ivy's visual novel.
Paying the Price lyrics[edit | edit source]
The candles are lit
They walk in through the door
Clad in silken robes
The lamb tied on the floor
It bleats and it screams
Cries that you will ignore
The pursuit of power has far worse in store
Because you're paying the price
There's no turning back now
The blood on your hands washes off anyhow
You say it's in thanks
We all know that's not true
You murdered that girl just cause you wanted to

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Cadence's current character model is adapted from Neon Prime's Sumo. She is a large woman wearing a viking helmet, based on the "fat lady" opera singer stereotype. She currently doesn't have animations.
- Two of Cadence's abilities use music from Cara Mia Addio, the "turret opera" song from the end credits of Portal 2.
- Cadence's placeholder minimap icon uses an image of the Neon Prime version of Haze.
