Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has become a favored weapon for players seeking both mobility and dominance in close combat. This guide has been revised to include surefire methods for obtaining the Typhoon Blade, offering a valuable edge for players on the hunt for this item.

How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

The most dependable method to secure the Typhoon Blade is by looting it from a Typhoon Blade Stand. These stands appear at specific locations across the map, though they don't always spawn. Key spots to check include:

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

Once you've located a Typhoon Blade Stand, simply approach it and press the Interact Button to claim the weapon.

Chests & Floor Loot

If you're looking to bypass crowded areas, the Typhoon Blade can also be found in Chests or as floor loot. This method depends on a bit of luck, but it's a viable alternative if the stands have already been cleared out.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to obtain the Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. These foes appear at various spots on the map, with three spawning at active portals each game. They are marked on the map for easy tracking, and if they carry a Typhoon Blade, defeating them guarantees a drop. Demon Warriors may also carry one of two Oni Masks.

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'll need to complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests to unlock this purchasing option.

Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)

For those seeking the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, you'll need to take down Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This challenge requires effort but rewards you with a powerful variant of the weapon.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon; it's also a tool for mobility, offering a suite of abilities that enhance gameplay. However, be mindful of its durability, as it will deplete with use and vanish once exhausted.

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