Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has emerged as a top pick for players seeking both enhanced mobility and superior performance in close combat. This guide has been refreshed with guaranteed methods for acquiring the Typhoon Blade, ensuring players can easily add this dynamic weapon to their arsenal.

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 are strategically placed at various spawn points across the island, though they don't appear every time. Key locations to check include:

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

Once you spot a Typhoon Blade Stand, simply approach it and press the Interact Button to claim your weapon.

Chests & Floor Loot

If you're looking to steer clear of crowded POIs, you can also find the Typhoon Blade 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 three active portals each match, and their locations are marked on the map. Defeating a Demon Warrior wielding the Typhoon Blade gives you a chance to claim it, along with the possibility of acquiring one of two Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

For a guaranteed acquisition, you can purchase the Typhoon Blade from Kendo using Gold Bars. Located northeast of Nightshift Forest, Kendo will sell you the blade once you've completed all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests.

Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)

To get the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, you'll need to defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This challenge is tougher, but the reward is well worth the effort.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon; it doubles as a mobility tool with a variety of useful abilities. Keep in mind that it has limited durability, and once it's depleted, you'll lose the weapon.

Here’s a detailed look at the Typhoon Blade's abilities:

• Passive Ability: Equipping the Typhoon Blade increases your sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption, making it easier to maneuver around the battlefield.
• Attack: Use the Shoot Button to execute a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain multiple attacks for a combo, with the final strike dealing 50 damage. You can also use it in midair for a downward attack that prevents fall damage.
• Cyclone Slash: Press the Aim Button to unleash a heavy attack, dealing 90 damage and knocking enemies back. This ability has a 10-second cooldown after use.
• Wind Leap: During a sprint, press the Jump Button to leap into the air, nullifying fall damage.
• Air Dash: In midair, press the Jump Button to dash forward, again negating fall damage.

With these strategies and tips, you're well-equipped to master the Typhoon Blade and dominate in Fortnite Chapter 6.
