Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
The grid is partially covered by fog. Placing correct digits will reveal more of the grid. No guessing is required.
Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the circled cell.
For a digit N, exactly N of its instances have an identical digit a king's move apart. Two of the digits 1-9 (which must be deduced) do not obey this rule.

An amazing puzzle! I think this is my new favorite ruleset. I solved this right after The King, and it felt more like a 4* to me. I didn’t rate the difficulty, though, because I may have just been missing things. The only part of this puzzle that I did not like is the rules are almost identical to The King, except that in that puzzle, the ‘rebel’ cells are anti-king. I went into this puzzle assuming the same. There’s nothing wrong for this change of rules, but maybe add a disclaimer to the start of the rules? Thankfully, this only set me back about 2 minutes and wasn’t an issue. Other than that, this puzzle was a blast to solve.
