v1.19 LAST ONE I SWEAR

This patch came to fruition thanks to Causeiamapilot, who caught this bug just before patch lockout was going to end and fixed it. I've added his alt, Blood Moon, onto the character to show my appreciation. Thank you!

- Fixed an issue where using dspecial would put fspecial on cooldown.

v1.18 -- More kinks to be ironed out.

This patch was mostly able to come to fruition thanks to Dakota, who was able to tweak most stats for balance, as I am currently burnt out from patching this character.

GENERAL
- Changed CSS and small results screen images to match the new portrait (thank you blaner!)
- Fixed a bug where Dspecial would not shoot blue arrows.
- Fixed a bug where recalling a wisp (crouching near a wisp) would make it uninteractable and allow you to stock wisps repeatedly. You are now only able to recall blue wisps.

NSPECIAL
- Added a hitstun multiplier of 0.8x to all wisp explosion hitboxes.
- Red wisp explosion base knockback decreased: 7 -> 6
~ Red wisp explosion base hitpause increased: 8 -> 10

v1.17 -- Ironing out some kinks

- When Lyca is hit out of summoning a wisp with fspecial, the wisp now dies instead of flying off into the blastzone.
- Fixed a bug where arrows would go through walls.
- (HOPEFULLY) Fixed a bug where empowered arrows would not apply hitpause to the opponent.
- (HOPEFULLY) Fixed a bug where you could use two empowered arrows by jump-cancelling your first shot into another.

- Dspecial has a new sound effect when you start the jump.
- Uair main hit now uses strong sfx and big hit fx.
- Fstrong spike hitstun multiplier decreased on both versions: 1x -> 0.8x
