[Shift]Daywalker Dash (swordsman stance): first strike damage20⇒30; spin damage8⇒10(total52⇒70)

Fixed an issue where the firing sound effects of the Silver Soulbreaker build for the Exorcism Round (RMB) ability would abnormally trigger multiple times in certain combat situations. Blade loves loud sounds when fighting vampires, but we have turned down the volume to save your eardrums.
- ▸
[RMB]Exorcism Round: fixed multiple sound effects during combat - ▸ Rally Point Rescue: fixed a matchmaking error where an ally leaving during the hero selection phase could prevent Rally Point from gathering all remaining players. Rapid deployment now works flawlessly!

[E]Bloodline Awakening: healing reduction35%⇒25%.
