Efficient

Description
Efficient will make the attack cost less Energon. Not very glamorous, but effective! It will make the attack cost 3 less Energon than it usually would to fire.

This effect can be found on characters with 'solar powered' weapons or characters who are 'efficient', and in some unexpected places as well. Efficiency doesn't necessarily mean that the attack ICly uses less energon, or ICly uses any energon at all. Typically an Efficient attack is one that, for whatever reason, can be used more often. This might be because you have a solar powered rifle, or it might be because you have so many rockets in your rocket pods that you can fire the things all day long and not run out.

Due to it's Energon-cost nature, it cannot be combined with Ammo attacks.

Strategy
More bang for your buck! You can deal a normal amount of damage at a discounted energon cost, letting you deal some more damage over the duration of the battle, or save some fuel for other, more expensive weapons. Efficient is a small bonus, so it takes a lot of uses to make it worth the cost. Get it on your "main" attack and you will see benefit. Get it on a weapon you hardly ever use and it will probably not be worth it.

An Efficient attack of very low level is better than a Global because it returns more energon than using globals do. There is no reason to use Laser if you have 2-Ranged Energy Efficient. A !pass is still worth more than an Efficient pulled to 0, however.
