''Cadence is an unreleased hero. The following values are datamined and subject to change.''


=== Anthem ===
* Anthem
[[File:Anthem.png|64px|link=]] Cooldown: 37s · Duration: 8s · Radius: 12m · Fire Rate Bonus: up to 100% · Extra Large Clip: 25 · Cast: 0.75s
* Silence Contraptions
{{#invoke:Lang|get_string|cadence_ability_anthem_desc}}
* Lullaby
* Crescendo


=== Silence Contraptions ===

{{WeaponCard|key=hero_cadence}}
{{#invoke:Lang|get_string|cadence_ability_silencecontraptions_desc}}
 
=== Lullaby ===
[[File:Lullaby.png|64px|link=]] Cooldown: 48s · Duration: 6s · Radius: 12m · Minimum Sleep: 2s · Wake Delay: 0.25s · Bonus Health Regen: 15 · Cast: 0.25s
{{#invoke:Lang|get_string|cadence_ability_lullaby_desc}}
 
=== Crescendo ===
[[File:Crescendo.png|64px|link=]] Cooldown: 95s · Channel: 3s · Radius: 12m · Damage: 120 · Bullet Resist: −20% (vulnerability) · Debuff Duration: 6s · Cast: 0.5s
{{#invoke:Lang|get_string|cadence_ability_crescendo_desc}}
 
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:
 
models/heroes_staging/cadence/cadence_grandfinale_stage_piece.vmdl_c


This matches the ability's stage-summoning parameters below.

* 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'''. She is a large woman wearing a viking helmet, based on the [[wikipedia:It_ain't_over_till_the_fat_lady_sings|"fat lady"]] opera singer stereotype. She currently doesn't have animations.
** 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.
* Two of Cadence's abilities use music from ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5w68Z-oX30 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 {{HeroIcon|Haze}}.
* Cadence's placeholder minimap icon uses an image of the ''Neon Prime'' version of [[Haze]].
* 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.

* 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]].
