Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has rapidly become a favored weapon for boosting mobility and dominating in close-range battles. This guide has been refined to include surefire methods for acquiring the Typhoon Blade, assisting players in securing this powerful tool.
How To Get The Typhoon Blade
Looting Typhoon Blade Stands
The most reliable method to acquire the Typhoon Blade is by visiting Typhoon Blade Stands scattered around the map. These stands are found at designated spawn points, though they don't appear every match. Key locations to check include:
- 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 looking to avoid crowded areas, the Typhoon Blade can also be found in Chests or as floor loot. While this method relies on luck, it offers an alternative way to obtain the weapon if the stands are already looted.
Defeating Demon Warriors
Another way to secure a Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors, which can be found at three active portals each match. These enemies are marked on the map, and defeating them may yield a Typhoon Blade if they are equipped with one. Additionally, they might drop one of the two Oni Masks.
Purchase From Kendo
For a guaranteed acquisition, players can purchase the Typhoon Blade from Kendo using Gold Bars. Located northeast of Nightshift Forest, Kendo offers this option after 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 rewards players with the coveted Mythic Typhoon Blade.
How To Use The Typhoon Blade
The Typhoon Blade is a melee weapon that doubles as a mobility tool, offering several unique abilities. However, it has limited durability, and once depleted, the weapon is lost.
Here's a detailed overview of the Typhoon Blade's abilities:
- 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. Use in midair for a downward attack that negates fall damage.
- Cyclone Slash: Press the Aim Button for a heavy attack that deals 90 damage and repels enemies. This ability has a 10-second cooldown.
- Wind Leap: During a sprint, press the Jump Button to leap into the air, negating fall damage.
- Air Dash: In midair, press the Jump Button to dash forward, also nullifying fall damage.
By mastering these abilities, players can leverage the Typhoon Blade for both offensive prowess and strategic mobility in Fortnite Chapter 6.
