Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: With its versatility for mobility and effectiveness in melee combat, the Typhoon Blade has rapidly established itself as a top-tier weapon. This updated guide highlights foolproof methods for obtaining the Typhoon Blade, especially beneficial for players who have had difficulty finding it.
How To Obtain the Typhoon Blade
Finding Typhoon Blade Stands
The most dependable method for acquiring the Typhoon Blade is through looting Typhoon Blade Stands. These stands are strategically placed at various spawn points across the island. While they do not guarantee a find at every visit, notable locations to search include:
- Flooded Frogs
- Magic Mosses
- Lost Lake
- Nightshift Forest
- Shogun’s Solitude
When players locate a Typhoon Blade Stand, they simply need to approach and press the Interact button to claim the weapon.
Chests & Floot Loot
For players reluctant to engage in conflicts at contested points of interest, the Typhoon Blade can also be discovered within chests and as floor loot. While securing the weapon this way relies on luck, it allows players to acquire it even if nearby stands have been cleared out.
Defeating Demon Warriors
Another viable method for acquiring a Typhoon Blade is through defeating Demon Warriors. These foes appear in several regions across the map, with three found at active portals during each match. Their locations are marked on the map, and players can receive a Typhoon Blade drop if the Demon Warrior is wielding one. Aside from the blade, they may also drop one of two Oni Masks.
Buying from Kendo
For players seeking a guaranteed way to obtain the Typhoon Blade, purchasing it from Kendo is an excellent option. Located northeast of Nightshift Forest, Kendo requires players to complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests before he will allow them to buy the Typhoon Blade for Gold Bars.
Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)
For those seeking an upgrade, players can also find a Mythic Typhoon Blade on the map. To acquire this exclusive weapon, players must defeat Shogun X at Shogun’s Arena.
How To Utilize the Typhoon Blade
The Typhoon Blade serves not only as a melee weapon but also offers various mobility features. However, it has limited durability; using it consumes durability points, and once depleted, the blade is lost.
Here’s a concise overview of the abilities of the Typhoon Blade:
- Passive Ability: Increases sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption while equipped.
- Attack: Press the Shoot Button to slash, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chaining attacks creates a combo, where the final move inflicts 50 damage. A midair attack nullifies fall damage.
- Cyclone Slash: Initiate a heavy attack by pressing the Aim Button, inflicting 90 damage and knocking enemies back. This ability has a 10-second cooldown.
- Wind Leap: Sprinting players can leap into the air by pressing the Jump Button, nullifying fall damage.
- Air Dash: In midair, pressing the Jump Button allows for a forward dash, also negating fall damage.
