Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has quickly become a favorite among players, offering not only a mobility boost but also excelling in close-quarters combat. This guide has been revised to include guaranteed methods for acquiring the Typhoon Blade, making it easier for players to get their hands on this coveted weapon.
How To Get The Typhoon Blade
Looting Typhoon Blade Stands
The most reliable method to acquire the Typhoon Blade is by looting it from a Typhoon Blade Stand. These stands are scattered at designated spawn points across the map, though they do not appear consistently. Players should check the following locations for a chance to find one:
- Flooded Frogs
- Magic Mosses
- Lost Lake
- Nightshift Forest
- Shogun's Solitude
To claim the Typhoon Blade, simply approach a stand and press the Interact Button.
Chests & Floor Loot
For those avoiding high-traffic areas, the Typhoon Blade can also be found in Chests and as floor loot. While this method relies on luck, it's a viable alternative if the stands in your vicinity have already been looted.
Defeating Demon Warriors
Another way to secure a Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. These formidable foes spawn at active portals across the map, with three appearing each match. They are marked on the map for easy tracking. Defeating a Demon Warrior wielding a Typhoon Blade offers a chance to claim it, along with the potential to obtain one of two Oni Masks.
Purchase From Kendo
For a guaranteed acquisition, players can purchase the Typhoon Blade directly from Kendo using Gold Bars. Located northeast of Nightshift Forest, Kendo offers this option once players complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests.
Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)
To obtain the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, players must defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This challenging encounter is the only way to secure the Mythic Typhoon Blade.
How To Use The Typhoon Blade
The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon; it's a versatile tool that enhances both combat and mobility. However, it has limited durability, which depletes with each use, leading to its eventual loss.
Here's a detailed breakdown of the Typhoon Blade's abilities:
- Passive Ability: Equipping the Typhoon Blade boosts your sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption, making it ideal for quick maneuvers.
- Attack: Press the Shoot Button to execute a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain attacks for a combo, with the final hit delivering 50 damage. Use it in midair for a downward attack that negates fall damage.
- Cyclone Slash: Trigger a heavy attack by pressing the Aim Button, dealing 90 damage and repelling enemies. This ability has a 10-second cooldown after each use.
- Wind Leap: While sprinting, press the Jump Button to leap into the air, nullifying fall damage.
- Air Dash: In midair, press the Jump Button to dash forward, also negating fall damage.
With these strategies in mind, players can master the Typhoon Blade and dominate in Fortnite Chapter 6.
