Mastering Power Charges in Path of Exile 2

Power Charges are a key mechanic in Path of Exile 2, enabling powerful builds. This guide explains how they work and how to utilize them effectively.

What are Power Charges?

Power Charges act as multipliers for specific skills or effects. They are passive unless consumed by a skill like Falling Thunder, significantly enhancing its power. While not essential for all builds, they are crucial for certain strategies, such as the Tempest Flurry Invoker build. They function similarly to Frenzy and Endurance Charges – inactive until utilized by a compatible skill or item.
