Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has quickly become a favorite among players for its dual functionality in mobility and close combat. This guide has been updated to include guaranteed methods for obtaining the Typhoon Blade, offering valuable insights for those struggling to find this coveted 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 a Typhoon Blade Stand. These stands are scattered at specific spawn points across the island, 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 who prefer to avoid high-traffic areas, the Typhoon Blade can also be found in Chests and as floor loot. While this method relies on luck, it provides an alternative way to secure the weapon if the stands in your vicinity have already been looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to acquire the Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. These enemies spawn at three active portals each match, marked on the map for easy tracking. Defeating a Demon Warrior wielding the Typhoon Blade offers a chance to obtain it, along with the possibility of acquiring one of two Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

For a guaranteed way to get the Typhoon Blade, players can purchase it 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, players must defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This challenging encounter is the only way to secure the Mythic Typhoon Blade, making it a prized possession for those who succeed.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon; it's also a powerful mobility tool. However, it has limited durability, which depletes with each use, so use it wisely. Here's a breakdown of its abilities:

• Passive Ability: Equipping the Typhoon Blade increases your sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption, giving you a significant mobility boost.
• 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 it in midair for a downward attack that negates fall damage.
• Cyclone Slash: Press the Aim Button to unleash a heavy attack, dealing 90 damage and repelling enemies. This ability has a 10-second cooldown.
• Wind Leap: During a sprint, press the Jump Button to leap into the air, nullifying 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 to dominate in close combat and navigate the map with ease.
