Balance Adjustments

[Gunslinger Showdown Specific Changes]

These changes apply only to Gunslinger Showdown

Bai Mo

- The Passive Skill no longer causes String-Block. Instead, when Bai Mo is hit by bullets or uses Stringify to evade them, Bai Mo's movement speed significantly increases for a short time.

- The Active Skill cooldown is now refreshed based on damage dealt rather than the number of bullets hit.

Kanami

- The Passive Skill now has an internal cooldown when using weapons other than the Sniper Rifle.

[Superstrings]

Audrey

Skill

Active Skill Adjustments:

- Deployed weapon stats are no longer affected by String Energy Network's blue points.
