fixedFixed some issues with the ‘Chain Heal’ and ‘Kugelblitz’ Ultimate behavior

Some classes had flat growth curves and lacked late-game impact
Some key items had mismatched power and acquisition methods, causing fragmented build progression

This update is more than simple number tweaks — it’s a full pass on class roles, gear synergies, and burst timing, so every build can deliver a distinct and satisfying power spike once it comes online.
