Mastering Power Charges in Path of Exile 2

Power Charges are a key mechanic in Path of Exile 2, enabling devastating builds. While not essential for all playstyles, understanding their function unlocks significant power. This guide explains how to generate and utilize these charges effectively.

What are Power Charges?

Power Charges act as modifiers for specific skills. They don't directly impact stats but enhance the effects of abilities that consume them. For example, Falling Thunder gains significant power by consuming Power Charges. Unlike Frenzy and Endurance Charges, Power Charges are optional for most skills but form the core of some powerful builds, such as the Tempest Flurry Invoker. Their effect is entirely dependent on the skills and items used.
