Mastering Power Charges in Path of Exile 2

Power Charges are key to powerful builds in Path of Exile 2. Their functionality differs slightly from previous games, so understanding their use is crucial for maximizing your character's potential. Most classes can utilize them, although some have easier access. This guide explains how to generate and effectively use Power Charges.

What are Power Charges?

Power Charges act as multipliers for specific skills or effects. They are passive unless consumed by an ability, such as Falling Thunder, which gains increased power when consuming them. While not essential for most builds, they are fundamental to some, like the Tempest Flurry Invoker build. They function similarly to Frenzy and Endurance Charges; their inherent value is amplified through skill interactions and item effects.
