==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|Lady Geist's]] Malice, to a few minutes, as [[Dynamo|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.

===Charged Abilities===
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. This should not be confused with the time between charges, which describes the delay after using a charge that a different charge can be used.

===Stacking===
Despite being presented in-game as +X% Cooldown Reduction, different sources of cooldown reduction stack multiplicatively, not additively. With <math>n</math> different sources of cooldown reduction, total cooldown reduction is given by:

<math>CR_{Total} = 1 - \prod_{i=1}^n (1 - CR_i)</math>

For example, with 12% Cooldown Reduction from [[Diviner's Kevlar]] and 16% Cooldown Reduction from [[Improved Cooldown]], total cooldown reduction is:

<math>CR_{Total} = 1 - (1 - 0.12) \times (1 - 0.16) \approx 26%</math>

[[Golden Statue|Golden Statues]] have a chance to drop a permanent Cooldown Reduction buff.{{#invoke:ItemsByStat|tablefy|CooldownReduction|+X% Cooldown Reduction|%}}In addition to the generic cooldown reduction items listed above, [[Superior Cooldown]] provides +32% Imbued Ability Cooldown Reduction for a single chosen ability and +24% Non-Imbued Ability Cooldown Reduction for those abilities not chosen.{{Stats}}
