Battle With The Archers 26: Reunion (aka Unity II)

(Published on 7. January 2022, 09:17 by Playmaker6174)

This is the 26th puzzle of my Battle With The Archers collection and the sequel (or alternative version I'd say) of the previous Unity puzzle, which is widely considered as the best one of the series. This one is a bit more challenging than previous Unity but still has some really interesting things in it, I hope you enjoy!



Rules:

- Normal Sudoku rules apply: every row, column and 3x3 box contains digits from 1 to 9 each once.

- Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in the circle cell attached to that arrow. Digits along an arrow can repeat if allowed by other rules.

- Purple lines are renban, i.e. digits along a purple line can't repeat and form a consecutive set in any order.

Good luck and have fun solving!


Solution code: Row 2 (left to right) and column 8 (downwards), 18 digits long with no space

31 down 9 to go. After another break I have decided to spend some time to try and finish this wonderful series. This was hard but not too brutal. Great setting which I have come to expect from you. I also noted you have increased my target to 41!

Amazing. Super fun and the logic is amazing throughout. Very very good.

CTC needs to do this.

Wow! What a fantastic puzzle. I would say that this beats Unity into second place! Very well done.

Interesting idea for the opening, and a cool mid-solve! What a simple 3 cell renban can accomplish is astonishing.
