Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has quickly become a favorite among players seeking both mobility and prowess in close combat. This guide now includes guaranteed methods to help you secure this coveted weapon.
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 around the island. Although these stands don't always spawn, checking the following locations can increase your chances:
- 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 & Floot Loot
If you prefer to steer clear of crowded areas, you can also find the Typhoon Blade in Chests or as floor loot. While this method depends on luck, it's an excellent alternative if the stands in your area have already been looted.
Defeating Demon Warriors
Another way to secure a Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. These formidable foes spawn at three active portals per match and are marked on the map for easy tracking. If a Demon Warrior is equipped with a Typhoon Blade, defeating them will grant you a chance to claim it. They may also 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. Kendo is located northeast of Nightshift Forest, but you must first complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests to unlock this purchase option.
Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)
To obtain the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, you'll need to defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This challenging encounter will reward you with the powerful Mythic Typhoon Blade.
How To Use The Typhoon Blade
The Typhoon Blade is a versatile melee weapon that enhances your combat and mobility options. However, be mindful of its durability, as continuous use will eventually deplete it.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the Typhoon Blade’s abilities:
- Passive Ability: Equipping the blade increases your sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption, giving you a significant edge in movement.
- Attack: Use the Shoot Button to execute a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain your attacks to perform a combo, culminating in a final blow that inflicts 50 damage. You can also use this in midair for a downward attack that nullifies fall damage.
- Cyclone Slash: Activate by pressing the Aim Button to deliver a heavy attack that deals 90 damage and sends enemies flying. 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: While in midair, press the Jump Button to dash forward, also nullifying fall damage.
With these strategies and tips, you're now equipped to master the Typhoon Blade and dominate in Fortnite Chapter 6.
