Path of Exile 2 Ice Strike Mechanic FAQs
Does the third strike of Ice Strike always trigger automatically?
Yes. After using Ice Strike three times in quick succession, the fourth hit becomes the slower, high-damage final strike.
Can Ice Strike be supported by combo-enhancing gems?
Absolutely. Gems like Practiced Combo and Crescendo amplify the final strike's damage and timing.
Does Cold penetration affect both normal and final strikes?
Yes. Since both convert 80% of Physical Damage to Cold, Cold penetration boosts damage across all hits.
Is the +7 melee strike range applied to all hits?
No. The range bonus only applies to the third (final) strike, improving its reach and AoE potential.
Can Ice Strike be used with non-Quarterstaff weapons?
No. It specifically requires Quarterstaves to function.
