Ionic Storm, not to be confused with Lightning Storm, is a Weather Control power featured in Infamous 2. It summons a lightning storm from the sky, directly in front of Cole. Cole has to stand on ground while using the power, just as any other Ionic Power.

The Ionic Storm is the single most powerful attack in Cole's aresenal and, as thus, is the last power he recieves. When triggered, Cole will summon a bolt of pure lightning from the sky, hitting the nearest and most dangerous enemy in Cole's sight. This attack is powerful enough to kill most boss monsters like Ravagers, Hive Lords, and Crushers in one strike. The players can also hold down the down button while using this attack, using up two ionic charges while doubling the length of the attack. If not target is in sight, the storm will strike directly in front of Cole.

Trivia

  • Ionic Storm is the second offensive power to be used in the beginning and obtained late in the game. The first power used at the beginnning but learned later on is the Alpha Rocket.
  • Despite at the beginning of Infamous 2 that it says to press the "down button" in order to use Ionic Storm against the Beast, it is technically the Lightning Storm as Cole never learned Ionic Powers until arriving at New Marais and receiving the Blast Cores.
  • The Ionic Storm and the Ionic Freeze are the only Ionic powers that can actually harm bosses with health.
  • The Ionic Storm will instantly defeat all minibosses except Ice Titans and Devourers.
  • The Ionic Storm attacks the most threatening opponent and is stationary, unlike Lightning Storm with calls a lightning strike in front of Cole and slowly makes its way further out in front of him, allowing the player to control the lightning in a zig-zag movement via the Sixaxis motion.
