The Unit is King

(Published on 2. October 2022, 17:56 by Bonehead)

My second puzzle on here. Proud of this one, but I think it's quite hard.

Rules.

Classic sudoku rules apply.

Digits do not repeat in cages.

In addition the marked cell in a cage (black dot) is the unit total of the other cells in the cage. Eg. If a 4 cell cage has a 4,7 and 8 (total 19) in the unmarked cells, the marked cell value will be 9.

Beware that the unit total could be made of multiple possible combinations. Eg. A 3 unit cell with marked cell as '3' could be 1/2 in other cells, but could just as easily be 9/4 or 8/5 or 7/6.

The blue lines contain a set of non repeating consecutive digits in any order. Eg. 4,7,8,6,5 is a valid series but 4,7,8,6,9 is not.
