What does Efficiency do?

[Rob]

I can't find any explanation in game and the wiki is new. I am especially curious for the healer since he doesn't have cooldowns on his Q move.

I think it's skill cooldown or the ability to gain skill via kills but I'm not 100% sure.

I want to say the 'efficiency' is just a numerical buff to a non-damage action, so an efficiency buff to Shroom's Q would just be more heal per cast. I don't have any resource to back that up though.

Efficiency is literally what the word means, it makes the heal heal for more, or increases whatever the skill does by that amount.

totally, it's not the case that you have to go through some insane mental etymologic gymbronastics and equalize the meaning of efficient and effective to say "literally what the word means"

Efficiency could mean either it costs less or it does more, thus the question.

Which is it?

It doesn't say nor do the values of the other tooltips get adjusted when an efficiency buff is on.

The end result would be the same
If a skill has a 50% cooldown but does normal damage/heal, it would do the same damage/heal per second as something that has a normal cooldown but damages/heals twice as much.
There are slight exceptions to this, but that's a lot to get into.

Efficiency is a group word for increasing all the main effects of a Skill, be it healing, damage, buff effect or defense.

I also have a video guide explaining these :
