After basic, I only worked with the bivalue cells and it required 4 steps to complete the puzzle.

xy-wing 1-24 with vertex 14 in r4c3,
xy-wing -124 with vertex 24 in r5c2,
xy-wing -134 with vertes 34 in r8c2 and pseudocell 14 in box 4,
a chain: (4)r4c3 - (4=2)r2c3 - (2=3)r2c5 - (3=6)r9c5 - (6=4)r9c1 - (4)r8c2 = (4)r5c2; r4c3<>4

I used a couple of XY-Wings (142, 241), three ERs (2,2,4) and finished with a W-Wing (14).
