For Grenades, a void kill, such as from the Lion, reduces 7 seconds from your cool down. Void kills increase ability regeneration. Can help with Top Tree Dawnblade’s Celestial Fire melee (33 damage x 3) or middle tree Stormcaller’s Ball Lightning (70 splash + 31 direct hit damage).

Lion has a ~ 2.5 second reload animation, so this is already a savings. Don’t forget about the extended melee range! That inherent reload speed buff is approximately 50% of the Fighting Lion’s reload cap.
