Originally Heroes had 3 skills each that were unlocked at certain levels.
With a previous update, all chest recipes have a skill that can be unlocked for that particular item, granting your heroes additional skills beyond their original 3.

- Reduce the resting time after a quest by 100%
Note: multiple Energetics stack cumulatively.
Note: Energetic stacks multiplicatively with Healer. (Example: 50% Energetic times 50% Healer equals 75% reduction in resting time. ie 0.5 times 0.5 equals 0.25)

Healer[]
- Reduce the healing time of companions by 10%.
- Reduce the healing time of companions by 25%.
- Reduce the healing time of companions by 50%.
Note: "Healing Time" applies to both cooldown types of resting time as well as recovery from injury time.
Note: Healer skills do stack cumulatively, with a cap at 90% per quest. They also stack multiplicatively with Energetic for resting time. So in the case of resting time, a person's cooldown time will be multiplied by the sum of team's Healer bonuses and sum of the person's Energetic bonuses. So 50% healer and 50% Energetic would result in resting time being multiplied by 1/4th. (0.5 times 0.5 = 0.25)
Note: It says "companions" but it really means the entire team.

(Note: It's not clear if leader is counted in determining size of bonus, but he will receive the bonus.)
Set power of +25% only boosts power coming from items, not base hero power, by 25%. Example: Edward has 6000 base (naked) power, and 2000 from items. Full set gives a 25% boost to 2000, for 8500 total power.
"Strength" is a boost to heroes' base (naked) power. Commander III boosts Edward's base power of 6000 to 9000. Since heroes of higher tier have higher base power, the commander/strength boosts increase their total power more than for heroes of lower tiers.
