Critical Hit

Wanted to explore the Hit Points constraint some more, so combined it with German Whispers. Enjoy!
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Hit Points: clues outside the grid give the sum of all cells that contain a digit equal to the distance of that cell from that clue in the row or column. For example, a 3 in Row 3, Column 2 would count towards the 15 clue in column 2, and any other number would not.
- German Whispers: adjacent digits on the green lines must differ by at least 5.
If you liked the Hit Points constraint, check these puzzles out:
- Walker's puzzle that served as the inspiration.
- Splash Damage
- Dutch Flat Mates (Hit Points) by Flinty.
- Hit Points Renban Needs A Name by Flinty.
Solution code: Rows 7 and 9
