Ionic Vortex is a new power in inFamous 2. Using it will summon an electrical tornado that leaves a trail of destruction in its path. To summon a Vortex, press the down button on the direction pad of the PS3 controller. You have to collect Ionic Charges to use Ionic Vortex. To execute the move, Cole spins while building up electrical energy shiponed through The Amp in a sphere form. Then he releases the sphere which then will spin and create a tornado. The tornado is electrified and has multiple electrical branches coming out of it.
