Charge-Up Effects – Spell Charge & Release VFX (HD)
A downloadable asset pack
HD effects for top-down games. Charge-ups for spells, bosses and heavy attacks in seven elements. Each has a seamless charging loop, streaks of energy spiralling into a pulsing orb, and a release, the orb swelling and bursting in a flash, a round shockwave and flying sparks.
Effects
- Fire charge (loop and release)
- Frost charge (loop and release)
- Lightning charge (loop and release)
- Arcane charge (loop and release)
- Shadow charge (loop and release)
- Holy charge (loop and release)
- Toxic charge (loop and release)
Loop the charge for as long as the attack charges, then play the release once: both share one frame size and pivot, the orb centre. Place it at a caster's hands, above a head or on a boss.
Charge, then release
The loop plays twice, then the release.
