Hero Adjustments
I. Wuchen
1.For [Spirit Blades] and all its variations, the Spirit Blades now can be summoned while Wuchen is being attacked.
2. Increased the determination range of recovery in [Spirit Blades·Shield], from a radius of 4m to 8m.

//Dev Note: When Wuchen was surrounded by enemies’ attack, his skills couldn’t help him escape effectively. Now Wuchen can also cast skills while being attacked, so that he can better survive in the combat. In terms of his ultimate, we have decreased the distance limits for using, in order that all allies can be involved in and Wuchen can be more focused on controlling the timing.

//Dev Note: After the launch of the new Souljade system, the weapon-related souljades have been favored too much.

Thus, we have adjusted the damage value of some souljades to make the combat more balanced.
