| The bullet vulnerability is tracked by its own status icon,

| [[File:Modifier cadence crescendo.png|20px|link=]] <code>modifier_cadence_crescendo</code>.
| |
| | |
| === Grand Finale (cut) ===
| |
| An unbound fifth ability, <code>ability</code> key <code>cadence_ability_grandfinale</code>,
| |
| remains in the game files. It is not bound in Cadence's <code>m_mapBoundAbilities</code>,
| |
| and Crescendo appears to have replaced it as her Ultimate: the two share an icon
| |
| (<code>cadence_ability_4.psd</code>) and an identical 95s cooldown.
| |
| | |
| The ability was developed further than data alone suggests. Cadence's only shipped
| |
| model is a prop built for it:

| * Cadence's model was a modified version of [[Neon Prime|''Neon Prime's'']] '''Sumo''', a predecessor of {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}}, wearing a viking helmet, likely based on the [[wikipedia:It_ain't_over_till_the_fat_lady_sings|"fat lady"]] opera singer stereotype. | | * Cadence's current character model is adapted from [[Neon Prime|''Neon Prime's'']] '''Sumo''' ([[Dynamo]]). She is a large woman wearing viking clothes, based on the [[wikipedia:It_ain't_over_till_the_fat_lady_sings|"fat lady"]] opera singer archetype. |
| ** The viking helmet's model appears to be a combination of the meshes for the ''Team Fortress 2'' items [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Tyrant%27s_Helm Tyrant's Helm] and [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Viking_Braider Viking Braider], with the latter edited to resemble braided hair behind the head.
| | |
| * Cadence's placeholder minimap icon uses an image of the ''Neon Prime'' version of {{HeroIcon|Haze}}.
| | == See also == |
| * Two work-in-progress images of Cadence in Ivy's visual novel, with a new Ixian design, were leaked on a livestream in February 2025.
| |
| [[File:Cadence lullaby music.mp3|thumb|Neon Prime's Main Menu Music, as heard in Cadence's Lullaby ability]]
| |
| * Cadence's '''Lullaby''' and '''Crecendo''' abilities originally used music from ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5w68Z-oX30 Cara Mia Addio]'', the "turret opera" song from the end credits of ''Portal 2''.
| |
| ** At one point, '''Lullaby'''<nowiki/>'s music was changed to the Main Menu music for Neon Prime with '''Anthem''' receiving the former's old song.
| |
| * Cadence and The Requiem Boys are promoted in a theater in the [[The Cursed Apple|Cursed Apple]].
