Today's Video:
We're back with Equality Cages, this time with the slingshot variant and a collaboration by gUBBLOR with Fahmi.
Truth be told, Slingshots are not my favourite variant as I often miscount. The video makes my point unfortunately!
That said, it's an exceptional puzzle with a 94% rating as of the time of recording.

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.
Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are shown.
X: Adjacent cells connected with an X must sum to 10. Not all X's are shown.
Slingshots: If an arrow is present in a cell, the digit in the cell the arrow comes from appears in the grid in the direction of the arrow at a distance of N cells, where N is the digit in the arrow's cell. I.e. if the arrow in R8C2 was a 2, that means the digit in R8C3 also have to appear in R6C2. If R2C7 was a 9 and R1C7 was a 1 then R1C6 would also be a 9.
