Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has rapidly emerged as a top choice for players seeking both enhanced mobility and prowess in close combat. This guide has been refined to include foolproof methods for acquiring the Typhoon Blade, assisting players in their quest to master this coveted weapon.

How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

The most reliable way to secure the Typhoon Blade is by looting it from Typhoon Blade Stands scattered across the island. These stands don't always spawn, but checking key locations can increase your chances:

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

Simply approach a Typhoon Blade Stand and press the Interact Button to claim the weapon.

Chests & Floor Loot

If you prefer to avoid crowded areas, you can also find the Typhoon Blade in Chests or as floor loot. This method relies on luck, but it's a viable option if the stands in your vicinity have already been looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to obtain the Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. These enemies spawn at three active portals each match and are marked on the map. Defeating them might yield the Typhoon Blade, especially if they are using it in battle. Demon Warriors can also drop one of two Oni Masks, adding to the thrill of the encounter.

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 purchasing option.

Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)

To get your hands on the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, you’ll need to defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This challenge is tougher but rewards players with a more powerful variant of the weapon.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon but also a tool for enhanced mobility. Its durability decreases with each use, so manage it wisely to avoid losing the blade prematurely. Here's a detailed look at its abilities:

• Passive Ability: Equipping the Typhoon Blade increases your sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption, giving you a significant edge in mobility.
• Attack: Press the Shoot Button to execute a slash, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain your attacks for a combo, with the final hit dealing 50 damage. Use it in midair for a downward strike that negates fall damage.
• Cyclone Slash: Activate with the Aim Button for a heavy attack that deals 90 damage and repels enemies. This ability has a 10-second cooldown.
• Wind Leap: While sprinting, press the Jump Button to leap high into the air, nullifying fall damage.
• Air Dash: In midair, press the Jump Button to dash forward, also negating fall damage.

By mastering these abilities, you can turn the Typhoon Blade into a versatile weapon that not only enhances your combat prowess but also your mobility across the Fortnite battlefield.
