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

How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

The most reliable method to obtain 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. Here are some key spots to check:

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

Once you find 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 areas, you can also find the Typhoon Blade in Chests or as floor loot. While this method depends on luck, it's a viable alternative if the stands in your area have already been looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to secure a Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. These enemies spawn at three active portals each match and are marked on the map. Defeating them offers a chance to obtain a Typhoon Blade if they are carrying one, along with the possibility of dropping one of two Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

For a guaranteed acquisition, players 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)

For those seeking the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, you'll need to take on Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This challenging encounter is the only way to obtain the Mythic Typhoon Blade.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is a versatile melee weapon that not only inflicts damage but also enhances your mobility with a range of abilities. Be mindful of its durability, as it will deplete with each use and disappear once exhausted.

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

• Passive Ability: Increases your sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption while equipped.
• Attack: Press the Shoot Button to execute a slash, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain attacks to perform a combo, with the final hit dealing 50 damage. Use it in midair for a downward attack that nullifies fall damage.
• Cyclone Slash: Press the Aim Button for a heavy attack that deals 90 damage and sends enemies flying. 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 while in midair to dash forward, also nullifying fall damage.
