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

=== 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~~'''~~

=== Silence Contraptions ===

[[File:Silence Contraptions.png|64px|link=]] Cooldown: 42s · Duration: 6s · Dash Distance: 8m · Debuff Duration: 2s · Cast: 0.25s

{{#invoke:Lang|get_string|cadence_ability_silencecontraptions_desc}}

* '''Lullaby~~'''~~

=== 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

* '''Crescendo~~'''~~

=== Crescendo ===

[[File:Crescendo.png|64px|link=]] Cooldown: 95s · Channel: 3s · Radius: 12m · Damage: 120 · Bullet Resist: −20% (vulnerability) · Debuff Duration: 6s · Cast: 0.5s

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.

Cooldown: 95s · Stage Radius: 15m · Stage Duration: 12s · Radius: 12m ·

Explosive Damage: 120 · Build-Up Max Damage: 150 (300 vs non-heroes) ·

Build-Up Duration: 10s · Fire Rate Bonus: 30%

* 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.

** 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}}

* Cadence's placeholder minimap icon uses an image of the ''Neon Prime'' version of {{HeroIcon|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.
