Power Charges in Path of Exile 2

Power Charges are a powerful mechanic in Path of Exile 2, enhancing certain skills. They function similarly to Frenzy and Endurance Charges – inert on their own, but crucial for specific builds.

Many classes can utilize Power Charges, although some have easier access than others. Skills like Falling Thunder Icon consume them for increased potency. While not essential for most builds, they are fundamental to certain strategies, such as the Tempest Flurry Invoker build. Items and other effects can also leverage Power Charges in unique ways.
