This Path of Exile 2 guide explains Power Charges, a key mechanic for creating powerful builds. This guide is part of a larger Path of Exile 2 Guide Hub covering tips, builds, quests, bosses, and more.
Power Charges act as temporary buffs, enhancing certain skills. While not essential for most builds, they are crucial for some, like the Tempest Flurry Invoker build. Unlike Frenzy and Endurance Charges, Power Charges don't provide inherent benefits; their value comes from how skills utilize them.
Power Charges are consumed by specific skills (like Falling Thunder) to increase their power. Items and other effects can also interact with Power Charges. Many classes can utilize them, but some have easier access than others. This guide will detail how to generate and effectively use Power Charges to maximize their potential in your builds.
