This guide was updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round, reflecting the Typhoon Blade's rise as a favored weapon for mobility and melee combat. New strategies for obtaining the Typhoon Blade have been included to assist players in their quest for this powerful item.

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 island, though they don't appear every match. Key locations to check include:

• Flooded Frogs
• Magic Mosses
• Lost Lake
• Nightshift Forest
• Shogun's Solitude

Upon finding a Typhoon Blade Stand, simply approach it and press the Interact Button to claim your weapon.

Chests & Floor Loot

If you prefer to avoid high-traffic areas, the Typhoon Blade can also be found in Chests or as floor loot. While this method relies more on luck, it offers an alternative for obtaining the weapon if the stands in your area have already been looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to get your hands on a Typhoon Blade is by defeating a Demon Warrior. These enemies spawn at active portals around the map, with three appearing each match. They're marked on the map, making them easy to track. Defeating a Demon Warrior wielding a Typhoon Blade increases your chances of obtaining one, though they might also drop one of two Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

For a guaranteed way to acquire the Typhoon Blade, players can purchase it from Kendo using Gold Bars. Kendo is located northeast of Nightshift Forest, but you'll need to complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests to unlock the option to buy the Typhoon Blade from him.

Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)

To obtain the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, players must defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This method requires some effort but rewards you with a powerful variant of the weapon.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon; it's also a mobility tool, offering a range of abilities that enhance your gameplay. However, be mindful of its durability, as it will deplete with each use and disappear once it's gone.

Here's a breakdown of the Typhoon Blade's abilities:

• Passive Ability: Increases sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption while 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, dealing 90 damage and repelling enemies. This ability has a 10-second cooldown.
• Wind Leap: Press the Jump Button during a sprint to leap into the air, negating fall damage.
• Air Dash: Press the Jump Button in midair to dash forward, also negating fall damage.
