Killing Palm is a Tier 1 Physical Strike skill in Path of Exile 2 that delivers a lethal unarmed blow to enemies, culling low-health targets and generating Power Charges. The skill always strikes with your bare fist—even when wielding a Quarterstaff—and highlights nearby Cullable enemies for precision execution.
"Dash to an enemy and Strike them with an unarmed Attack, Culling enemies if their life is low enough. Each enemy killed by this strike grants a Power Charge. Enemies around you that can be Culled will be highlighted."
Note: Purchasing this item, you will receive a level 21 Killing Palm gem with 5 Support Sockets.
