Increased Mortis dash range 2.33 tiles → 2.67 tiles
Increased speed buff from Colt's Star Power 50 → 60
Decreased main attack damage for Bull 440 → 400
Decreased main attack damage for Shelly 320 → 300 Bo mine explosion delay reduced 1.3 → 1.15
Increased main attack damage for Brock 1040 → 1100
Increased main attack damage for Piper 1480 → 1560
