Line 77:
** Ranged attacks become more powerful the longer you hold down the attack button. In ''Fable 2'', the longbows are replaced with firearms, but now, instead of a magic bar, all the spells are charged attacks.
** You can also "charge" a firearm after getting the level three ranged combat ability: the longer you aim at a target, the closer you'll zoom in to the enemy, and the closer you zoom in, the more damage you do. This can even be used to kill extremely powerful enemies in one shot. A possible exploit exists in that you can, using a flintlock (one-shot) weapon, fire repeatedly and continue to zoom in between shots, thereby increasing the amount of damage each successive shot causes.
* ''[[Magical Battle Arena]]'' has these for most of the characters' Special Attacks. Some, like the attacks of [[Original Generation]] characters and most of the ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' cast, can be fired immediately but have the option of being charged first for a more powerful attack. Others however, like [[Cardcaptor Sakura|Sakura]], the ''[[Slayers]]'' sorceresses, and [[Lyrical Nanoha|Hayate]], have spells that can only be launched after they are charged, otherwise they will piffle out if you fire them prematurely.
* "Burst Mode" in [[Gungrave]]. Holding down the fire button while standing still makes your shots more powerful as it causes Grave to go into a frenzy and he will jump and spin around, shooting everything [[Offhand Backhand|without looking]]. Billy and Juji in the sequel get their own variation (Juji's can launch a charged sword combo when the melee button is held for a few seconds and then released). This is if you turned the rapidfire/full-auto option on though.
* In ''[[Cave Story]]'', the one weapon whose level isn't affected by energy crystals is the Spur, whose level of strength depends on how long it gets charged.
Line 104:
* In ''[[Fallout 3]]'', every melee attack can be charged by holding down the button for half a second. This produces a larger swing and a war cry.
* ''[[S4 League]]'' brings us the Cannonade and the Rail Gun, which do massive damage when fully charged but as a result make them very slow firing weapons, more suited for sniping than close-range combat. Reinforcing this purpose is the zoom feature both of these weapons get.
* ''[[Secret of Mana]]'' and ''[[Secret of Evermore]]'' have the hold-type charged attack. At higher weapon levels (lvl 4+), this may become [[Awesome but Impractical]], depending on the weapons equipped, allied [[
* The [[Real Life]] practice of "cooking" a hand grenade (holding it for a few seconds before throwing) could be seen as a variation of this. It can even increase the attack power if it causes the bomb to go off in midair, as airbursts are typically more effective than the same weapon detonating on the ground.
* This is how you damage bosses in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Climax UC|Gundam Climax UC]]''.
* ''[[Doom]] 3'''s BFG 9000 can be charged to create a heavier hitting projectile (at the cost of more ammo consumption). A fully charged blast can take out everything in the game with one shot except the Cyberdemon. You'd better be careful to watch the charge meter, though, or else you'll end up overcharging and having the gun blow up in your face.
* Several of the heavy weapons (most notably the <s>Nuke Gun</s> [[
* ''[[The Haunted Mansion]]'' allows you to do this with the Beacon of Souls, after you get the appropriate Soul Gem. The ability increses as you collect more.
* ''[[Super Monkey Ball]]'''s Monkey Fight has this, a multiplayer sumo like minigame where you can charge your fist before punching—a good smack can send opponents flying out of the ring.
