Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has swiftly become a favored weapon for its mobility boost and effectiveness in close combat. This guide now includes guaranteed methods for obtaining the Typhoon Blade, aiding players in their quest to secure this powerful item.
How To Get The Typhoon Blade
Looting Typhoon Blade Stands
The most reliable method to obtain the Typhoon Blade is by looting it from designated Typhoon Blade Stands scattered across the island. These stands do not spawn every time, but you can increase your chances by checking out these locations:
- 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 who prefer to avoid high-traffic areas, the Typhoon Blade can also be found in Chests or as floor loot. While this method relies on luck, it's a viable alternative if the stands have already been looted.
Defeating Demon Warriors
Another way to secure a Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors, which spawn at active portals across the map. These warriors are marked on the map, making them easier to track. Defeating them may yield a Typhoon Blade if they are equipped with one, though they can also drop one of two Oni Masks.
Purchase From Kendo
For a guaranteed way to obtain the Typhoon Blade, players can purchase it from Kendo using Gold Bars. Located northeast of Nightshift Forest, Kendo will sell the Typhoon Blade once you've completed all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests.
Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)
To acquire the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, players must defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This method requires skill and strategy but rewards you with a powerful version of the weapon.
How To Use The Typhoon Blade
The Typhoon Blade is a versatile melee weapon that enhances both combat and mobility. It has a durability meter that depletes with each use, so use it wisely. Here are the key abilities of the Typhoon Blade:
- Passive Ability: Increases sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption when equipped.
- Attack: Press the Shoot Button to execute a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain attacks for a combo, with the final hit dealing 50 damage. Can also be used midair for a downward strike that negates fall damage.
- Cyclone Slash: Press the Aim Button for a heavy attack that deals 90 damage and knocks enemies back. This ability has a 10-second cooldown.
- Wind Leap: Press the Jump Button while sprinting to leap into the air, nullifying fall damage.
- Air Dash: Press the Jump Button in midair to dash forward, also negating fall damage.
With these strategies and abilities, you'll be well-equipped to master the Typhoon Blade and dominate in Fortnite Chapter 6.
