Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has quickly become a favorite among players for its mobility and effectiveness in close combat. This guide has been updated to include guaranteed methods for obtaining the Typhoon Blade, helping players who are struggling to find this powerful weapon.

How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

The most reliable way to obtain 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 always appear. 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

If you prefer to avoid high-traffic areas, you can also find the Typhoon Blade in Chests or as floor loot. This method relies on luck, but it's a viable alternative if the stands in your area 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 and are marked on the map. Defeating a Demon Warrior wielding a Typhoon Blade gives you a chance to obtain it, along with the possibility of getting one of two Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

For a guaranteed way to get the Typhoon Blade, you 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 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 is a challenging but rewarding method to secure a powerful variant of the weapon.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon; it also serves as a mobility tool with a variety of abilities. However, it has limited durability, and once it's depleted, the weapon is lost.

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 perform 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 nullifies fall damage.
• Cyclone Slash: Press the Aim Button for a heavy attack, dealing 90 damage and knocking enemies back. This ability has a 10-second cooldown.
• Wind Leap: Press the Jump Button during a sprint to leap into the air, nullifying fall damage.
• Air Dash: Press the Jump Button in midair to dash forward, also nullifying fall damage.

By mastering the Typhoon Blade's abilities, you can enhance your gameplay and dominate in close-quarters combat scenarios.
