Power Charges are a crucial element in *Path of Exile 2*, enabling players to craft incredibly powerful builds. These charges function differently than in previous versions, making them essential knowledge for newcomers looking to maximize their gameplay potential.
Virtually every class in *Path of Exile 2* can harness Power Charges, though some have more straightforward access than others. Here's a comprehensive overview of what Power Charges are, how to generate them, and the best ways to utilize them effectively.
What Are Power Charges in Path of Exile 2?
Consider Power Charges as tokens that enhance specific skills or skill effects. Alone, they don't have any direct impact, but certain abilities, such as 
Falling Thunder, consume them to amplify their power. It's important to note that Power Charges are not typically required to cast abilities and are not necessary for most builds. However, they form the backbone of specialized builds like the Tempest Flurry Invoker build in *PoE 2*.
Power Charges share similarities with Frenzy and Endurance Charges; by themselves, they have no effect. Yet, they are expended when a skill that uses them is activated. Additionally, various items or other effects might leverage these charges in unique ways, adding another layer of strategic depth to your gameplay.
