The +300% Power modifier and -100% Speed modifier is continuous while the buff is active. When the target of this buff is hit with an attack, the attacker is damaged with 100% of damage dealt and a charge is consumed. When the target ends their turn, this buff's duration ticks down. This buff starts with 10 charges and a duration of 2 turns. Lastly, it's also considered to be a positive buff.
As this buff is applied to the caster before they end their turn, it's duration immediately ticks down after this ability has been used.

==Tactics==
Abilities that stun can be used to counter the Divine Charge buff, since it only lasts for effectively 1 turn. Ice Wall (Sonny 2017)#Ice Wall also increases the target's Defense, which reduces the reflected damage when attacking with non-piercing abilities.
The player can, instead of stuns, use dispelling abilities. The drawback of doing this is that the player won't be able to take advantage of the -100% Speed modifier.
A different strategy is to simply let the buff expire by consuming all of it's charges. This requires the use of abilities that can strike multiple times. Abilities that drain the target's focus or grants Sonny focus will also help in getting more attacks against them.
