Updated January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade's popularity continues to soar, making it a top choice for both mobility and close-range combat. This guide has been updated to include guaranteed acquisition methods, ensuring even struggling players can get their hands on this coveted weapon.

How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

Typhoon Blade StandThe most reliable method is looting Typhoon Blade Stands. These stands are scattered across the island at specific spawn points, but their appearance isn't guaranteed. Check these locations:
  • Flooded Frogs
  • Magic Mosses
  • Lost Lake
  • Nightshift Forest
  • Shogun's Solitude

Simply interact with the stand to claim your blade.

Chests & Floor Loot

Chest with Typhoon BladePrefer a less confrontational approach? The Typhoon Blade can also be found in chests and as floor loot. While luck-based, this method offers a chance even if stands are already looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to obtain the Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. Three spawn at active portals each match, marked clearly on your map. While defeating them offers a chance at the blade (if they're carrying one), they may also drop Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

KendoFor a guaranteed method, purchase the Typhoon Blade from Kendo using Gold Bars. Find him northeast of Nightshift Forest, but first complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests to unlock this purchase option.

Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)

A Mythic Typhoon Blade awaits those brave enough to defeat Shogun X in Shogun's Arena. Be warned, this is a challenging encounter.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade isn't just a damage dealer; its mobility features are game-changing. However, remember its durability depletes with each use, resulting in its eventual loss.

Here's a breakdown of its abilities:

  • Passive Ability: Increased sprint speed and reduced stamina consumption while equipped.
  • Attack: A slashing attack dealing 30 damage per hit, chainable into a combo ending with 50 damage. Also usable mid-air for a downward attack negating fall damage.
  • Cyclone Slash: A heavy attack (90 damage) that repels enemies. Has a 10-second cooldown.
  • Wind Leap: Leap into the air while sprinting, negating fall damage.
  • Air Dash: Dash forward in mid-air, negating fall damage.
