This guide has been updated to include guaranteed methods for obtaining the Typhoon Blade, offering valuable insights for those struggling to find this coveted item.
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 are scattered at specific spawn points across the island, though they don't appear every game. 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 & Floot Loot
For those who prefer to avoid high-traffic areas, the Typhoon Blade can also be found in Chests and as floor loot. While this method relies on luck, it's a viable alternative if the stands in your vicinity 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, marked on the map for easy tracking. Defeating a Demon Warrior wielding a Typhoon Blade guarantees a drop, though they might 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 must first complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests to unlock this 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 challenging encounter rewards you with the powerful Mythic Typhoon Blade.
How To Use The Typhoon Blade
The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon; it's also a mobility tool, offering a range of abilities that enhance your gameplay. However, be mindful of its durability, as it will deplete with each use and disappear once it's exhausted.
Here's a detailed look at the Typhoon Blade's abilities:
- Passive Ability: Equipping the blade increases your sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption.
- Attack: Press the Shoot Button to execute a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain attacks for a combo, with the final hit dealing 50 damage. Use it in midair for a downward attack that negates 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: 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, also nullifying fall damage.
