What do you think are the most important characteristics of a efficient striker? Punching power, footwork, head movement, timing, etc.

Intellect and confidence
a great striker is one who can overwhelm his opponent with strikes!
^^^ Was going to bring over a superb example from my library, but can link to it....All those characteristics are important in being an "efficient" striker, from a technical perspective. But being an efficient striker doesn't necessarily make you an "effective" striker......... IMO, the most important characteristic of an "effective" striker is composure..... which comes with experience. Still there are a lot of excellent technical fighters who find themselves getting there ass whipped by much less technical fighters because they lose composure. I.E: Zab Judah, Melvin Guillard....... in short, "efficient" is a measure of proficiency, "effective" is a measure of application. in the ring effective beats efficient...... every time!
