Overview

The Ability Cooldown of an ability is a period of time after being used that the ability cannot be used again. Cooldowns range from a few seconds, as in Lady Geist's Malice, to a few minutes, as Dynamo's Singularity. Ability cooldowns can be reduced by acquiring the Cooldown Reduction stat, which reduces the cooldown by a percentage of base ability time.

Some abilities can acquire multiple charges. In those cases, the ability cooldown represents the time for a charge to become available again after being used.
