Sticky Bomb leans on Spirit

Bebop's Sticky Bomb trades flat damage for much stronger Spirit scaling, while [Mo & Krill]'s Sand Blast now deals 40 Spirit damage and its T3 cuts dash distance. Seven's Storm Cloud, Grey Talon's Rain of Arrows and Sinclair's Rabbit Hex also got tuning, alongside a tiny stamina regen adjustment across nearly the whole roster.
