Balance + bug fix

Cinder Bind

• Cooldown increased slightly.
• Now prevents dashing while inside the circle.
• People hit by the first proc will be stunned and slowed momentarily.
• Startup is slightly slower.

Phantom Shot

• Can now rotate for a short time before the damage starts.
• Increased initial damage (4 -> 6).
• Decreased followup damage (9 -> 4).

Hell Shot

• Doesn't cancel downslam/punches (makes comboing into it easier)
• Added finisher.

Scorching Surge

• Max distance for deac explosion increased (15 studs -> 17.5 studs).
• Explosion damage is now a range, dealing 1-5 damage depending on your HP.
• Distance, damage, and extra HP per kill bonuses start scaling up when below 70 HP and stop increasing at 15 HP.

1. Before, this only took into consideration how much HP you had compared to your max HP, making the highest damage/distance unattainable because Violet mode deactivates automatically below 15 HP.

• Deac explosion can now hit ragdolled targets.

1. Deals 75% of normal damage, does not extend ragdoll.

• Added hyperarmor on activation and deactivation.
• While in Violet Mode, all attacks deal slightly more damage the lower your HP is.
• HP loss rate increased (0.75/sec -> 0.9/sec).
• HP loss is reduced to 25% of normal rate when ragdolled.
• Particles on deactivation now properly scale with the size of the explosion.

Infernal Assault

• Cooldown increased slightly (20s -> 22s).
• The third stance can now block break.
• Added endlag if the move whiffs.

Hell Assault

• Added endlag if the move whiffs.
• Added another hitbox at the end of the move to better match the effects.

Jet Engine Passive

• Reworked slightly: landing the multikick (4th M1) will now delete your oldest cooldown.
• When this happens, multikick damage is reduced (14 -> 7).

Jet Stream

• Now slams down instantaneously, should be easier to hit
