Entropic lines: 3 consecutive cells on a peach Entropic line must contain a low digit (123), a middle digit (456) and a high digit (789).

Digits on the thin blue diagonal line are unique.

Killer Cages: Digits in a cage cannot repeat and sum to the clue given.

Black Kropki dots contain digits with 1:2 ratio. Not all possible dots are given.

X's: Digits separated by an X sum to 10. Not all X's are given.

Thanks for the feedback. I initially thought 2 stars but my tester said possibly 1 star and the allure of increased traffic on 1 star puzzles was too strong for me haha. Sorry if the rating caused any frustration.

Beautiful puzzle! I say 2 stars for this. Thank you SecondBlue!

Really enjoyed the puzzle, but I found it WAY harder than 1 star. I would rate it between 2 and 3. Unless I missed something that made it harder than it should have been.
