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 combat and mobility advantages.
How to Get the Typhoon Blade
Several methods exist for acquiring this valuable weapon:
1. Typhoon Blade Stands: The most reliable method involves locating and interacting with Typhoon Blade Stands scattered across the map. These stands don't guarantee a blade each time, but they offer the best odds. Key locations include Flooded Frogs, Magic Mosses, Lost Lake, Nightshift Forest, and Shogun's Solitude.
2. Chests and Floor Loot: Alternatively, the Typhoon Blade can be found as floor loot or within chests. This method relies on luck but provides an alternative if stands are already looted.
3. Defeating Demon Warriors: Demon Warriors, marked on the map and spawning near active portals, have a chance of dropping the Typhoon Blade upon defeat. Note that they may also drop Oni Masks.
4. Purchasing from Kendo: A guaranteed method involves purchasing the Typhoon Blade from Kendo using Gold Bars. However, you must first complete all five stages of Kendo's Melee Expertise Quests to unlock this option. Kendo is located northeast of Nightshift Forest.
5. Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Version): The Mythic Typhoon Blade can be obtained by defeating Shogun X at Shogun's Arena.
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 dealing 30 damage per hit, chainable into a combo attack (final hit deals 50 damage). Can be used mid-air for a downward attack, negating fall damage.
- Cyclone Slash (Aim Button): A heavy attack dealing 90 damage and knocking back enemies. Has a 10-second cooldown.
- Wind Leap (Jump Button during sprint): A leap into the air, negating fall damage.
- Air Dash (Jump Button mid-air): A forward dash in the air, negating fall damage.
Remember, the Typhoon Blade has limited durability and is consumed after repeated use.
