Path of Exile 2: How Do Power Charges Work?

Mastering Power Charges in Path of Exile 2

Power Charges are key to creating powerful builds in Path of Exile 2. While not essential for all builds, understanding how they function is crucial for maximizing character potential.

What are Power Charges?

Power Charges act as temporary buffs, enhancing certain skills. They are consumed when used by specific abilities, such as Falling Thunder, significantly increasing their effectiveness. Unlike Frenzy and Endurance Charges, Power Charges have no inherent effect on their own. Their value lies entirely in their consumption by designated skills or interactions with specific items or effects. Many PoE 2 classes can utilize Power Charges, although some have more natural synergy than others. Builds like the Tempest Flurry Invoker heavily rely on efficient Power Charge generation and management.
