Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has quickly become a fan-favorite weapon, not only for its mobility benefits but also for its prowess in close-range encounters. This guide has been updated to include guaranteed methods for acquiring the Typhoon Blade, offering valuable insights for players seeking this coveted item.

How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

The most reliable way to acquire the Typhoon Blade is by looting it from a Typhoon Blade Stand. These stands appear at specific spawn points across the island, though they do not always guarantee a blade. Key locations to check include:

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

Once you locate a stand, simply approach it and press the Interact Button to claim your Typhoon Blade.

Chests & Floor Loot

For those preferring to avoid high-traffic areas, the Typhoon Blade can also be found in Chests or as floor loot. This method relies more on luck, but it's a viable alternative if the stands in your area have already been looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to obtain the Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. 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. If a Demon Warrior is wielding a Typhoon Blade, defeating them might yield the weapon. Additionally, they could drop one of two Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

For a guaranteed method of acquiring the Typhoon Blade, players can purchase it from Kendo using Gold Bars. Kendo is located northeast of Nightshift Forest. However, you must first 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 get your hands on the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, you'll need to defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This task is challenging but rewarding, as it grants you access to a powerful variant of the blade.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon; it doubles as a mobility tool due to its versatile abilities. However, be mindful of its durability, as it will degrade with use and eventually break.

Here's a quick rundown of the Typhoon Blade's abilities:

• Passive Ability: Boosts your sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption while equipped.
• Attack: Use the Shoot Button to execute a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain attacks for a combo, with the final strike delivering 50 damage. It can also be used in midair for a downward attack that negates fall damage.
• Cyclone Slash: Trigger with the Aim Button to perform a heavy attack, inflicting 90 damage and pushing enemies away. 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: While in midair, press the Jump Button to dash forward, also negating fall damage.
