This guide details how to obtain and utilize the Typhoon Blade in Fortnite Chapter 6. The Typhoon Blade is a powerful melee weapon offering both offensive capabilities and enhanced mobility.
How to Obtain the Typhoon Blade
Several methods exist for acquiring this valuable weapon:
1. Typhoon Blade Stands: These stands are located at specific points across the map (examples include Flooded Frogs, Magic Mosses, Lost Lake, Nightshift Forest, and Shogun's Solitude). However, their appearance is not guaranteed in every match. Interact with the stand to claim the blade.
2. Chests and Floor Loot: While less reliable, the Typhoon Blade can randomly appear within chests or as floor loot. This provides an alternative for players who miss out on the stands.
3. Defeating Demon Warriors: Demon Warriors, marked on the map, spawn near active portals. Defeating one might yield a Typhoon Blade (if they are wielding one), along with other potential loot like Oni Masks.
4. Purchasing from Kendo: This is a guaranteed method. Find Kendo (northeast of Nightshift Forest) after completing his five Melee Expertise Quests. Purchase the blade using Gold Bars.
5. Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Variant): Defeating the boss Shogun X at Shogun's Arena grants a Mythic Typhoon Blade, the most powerful version.
How to Use the Typhoon Blade
The Typhoon Blade boasts several abilities:
- Passive Ability: Increased sprint speed and reduced stamina consumption while equipped.
- Attack: A standard slash attack (30 damage per hit), chainable into a combo (final hit deals 50 damage). Can be used mid-air for a downward attack (nullifies fall damage).
- Cyclone Slash (Aim Button): A heavy attack (90 damage), knocking back enemies. Has a 10-second cooldown.
- Wind Leap (Jump Button during sprint): A powerful leap into the air (nullifies fall damage).
- Air Dash (Jump Button mid-air): A forward dash in the air (nullifies fall damage).
Remember, the Typhoon Blade has limited durability; it breaks after repeated use.
