Battle With The Archers 10: Bet Your Luck
(Published on 30. July 2021, 12:17 by Playmaker6174)
"Sometimes we have to take a step back..." - Hector says as he kneels down. Right as Hector hugs Riego, a guard peeking from the outside realizes that the plan was working as he expected, and with a slightly twisted smile on his face, he secretly rips an old photo from his pocket in half. It's then revealed that the persons in that photo are the fresh new Horsemen with several people, some of them includes a man wearing necklace with letter J on it and two girls both wearing necklace with letter L on it.
This is the 10th puzzle of my
Battle With The Archers collection and it might be the (temporary) ending of this series. For a long time I've heard about an infamous period when it's very challenging to set a nice non-consecutive arrow sudoku, so I wanted to test myself setting one for the finale. I think this one is not hard and it's also very intriguing as well (difficulty may be in range 3-3.5 stars).
Recently I've done quite a lot of works so I decided to take a long break from setting puzzles after finishing this 10th one and share it a bit earlier, but hopefully the series will come back soon. :)
Also check out the previous puzzles from the collection, some of it will give you really fun and enjoyable experiences :}
Rules: Normal Sudoku rules apply. Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in the circle cell attached to that arrow.
Orthogonally adjacent cells mustn't contain consecutive digits.

Delightful. Great use of the non-con constraint throughout (especially liked the break-in).

There are so few arrows, yet the solve path was very smooth. Thanks!
