What Does the Stone Charm Do?

  • Prevents Stuns: Grants immunity to being stunned for 2.5 seconds when you become stunned.

  • Automatic Activation: It triggers on its own whenever you are stunned.

  • Uses Charges:

    • The charm holds 80 charges in total.

    • Each activation consumes 40 charges.

    • Refill charges by killing monsters or using Wells.

  • Level Requirement: Requires Level 8 to equip.

When Should You Use It?

The Stone Charm is essential for builds that are vulnerable to stuns, especially in fights where quick reactions are necessary. Stuns can leave you unable to move or act, so this charm can save your life in tough encounters.

Best Times to Use It:

  • In Stun-heavy Areas: Maps with high-damage enemies that can easily stun you.

  • Against Stun-focused Bosses: Boss fights with abilities that frequently cause stuns.

  • For Builds with Low Stun Recovery: Builds that lack stun recovery or defenses against stuns benefit the most from this charm.

How Do You Get the Stone Charm?

  • Dropped by Enemies: The charm can drop randomly from monsters or chests throughout the game.

  • Early to Mid-game Zones: Since it requires Level 8 you may be more likely to find it in the early stages of the game.

Tips for Using the Stone Charm

  1. Equip It in Your Belt:

    • The charm must be placed in your belt to function.

  2. Refill Charges Regularly:

    • Keep the charges full by killing monsters or visiting Wells, especially before entering stun-heavy areas.

  3. Combine It with Stun Avoidance Gear:

    • Use gear or passive skills that reduce the chance of being stunned to minimize activation and save charges.

  4. Plan for High-Stun Encounters:

    • Equip this charm before engaging enemies or bosses that deal high damage capable of stunning you.

The Stone Charm is a valuable tool for preventing stuns and maintaining control of your character in Path of Exile 2. Equip it early, keep it charged, and stay ready for encounters where stuns are a threat. Good luck, and stay unstoppable!
