This guide has been updated to include the most reliable methods for obtaining the Typhoon Blade, ensuring players have the best chance of securing this powerful weapon.

How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

The most dependable 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 always appear. Key locations to check include:

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

To claim the Typhoon Blade, simply approach a stand and press the Interact Button.

Chests & Floor Loot

For those who prefer to avoid crowded areas, the Typhoon Blade can also be found in Chests and as floor loot. This method relies on luck, but it's a viable option if the stands in your area have been looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to obtain a Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. These enemies spawn at three active portals per match and are marked on the map. Defeating a Demon Warrior wielding a Typhoon Blade may reward you with the weapon, though they might also drop 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 must first complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests to unlock this purchase option.

Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)

To obtain the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, players must defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This method requires some effort but guarantees the Mythic Typhoon Blade.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon; it also serves as a mobility tool, thanks to its diverse abilities. However, it has limited durability, which depletes with each use, eventually causing the weapon to break.

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

• Passive Ability: Increases sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption when equipped.
• Attack: Press the Shoot Button to perform a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain attacks to execute a combo, with the final hit dealing 50 damage. In midair, perform a downward attack that nullifies fall damage.
• Cyclone Slash: Press the Aim Button for a heavy attack, dealing 90 damage and knocking enemies back. This ability has a 10-second cooldown.
• Wind Leap: During a sprint, press the Jump Button to leap into the air, nullifying fall damage.
