Equality Cages 124 x Shifter Lines 110: ᚱúᚾᚨᚱ (Runes) by gUBBLOR https://tinyurl.com/SudokuSleuthEqualityCages124

Rules:

Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.

Equality cages: Cages must have an equal number of low (1,2,3,4) and high (6,7,8,9) digits AND an equal number of even (2,4,6,8) and odd (1,3,7,9) digits. Equality cages can never contain 5. Digits may not repeat in a cage.

Shifter lines: Adjacent digits within the same box on a shifter line share both parity (even/odd) AND polarity (low/high). Whenever the line enters a new box either the parity OR the polarity shifts, never both. Shifter lines can never have 5 on it. Digits may repeat on lines.

Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown. KILLER CAGES- Numbers in cages sum to 10.

RATIO PAIRS- Numbers with a black dot between them are in a ratio of 2:1.

XV PAIRS- Numbers with a V between them sum to 5. Not all possible dots and V are given.
