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 Get the Typhoon Blade
Several methods exist for acquiring the Typhoon Blade:
1. Typhoon Blade Stands: The most reliable method involves locating and interacting with Typhoon Blade Stands scattered across the map. These stands don't always spawn, so checking multiple locations may be necessary. Potential locations include Flooded Frogs, Magic Mosses, Lost Lake, Nightshift Forest, and Shogun's Solitude.
2. Chests and Floor Loot: While less guaranteed, the Typhoon Blade can also be found randomly within chests or as floor loot. 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. This requires completing all five stages of Kendo's Melee Expertise Quests first. Kendo is located northeast of Nightshift Forest.
5. Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Variant): Defeating Shogun X at Shogun's Arena yields a Mythic Typhoon Blade.
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 attack (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) that repels enemies. Has a 10-second cooldown.
- Wind Leap (Jump Button during sprint): A powerful leap that nullifies fall damage.
- Air Dash (Jump Button mid-air): A forward dash that nullifies fall damage.
Remember, the Typhoon Blade has limited durability and is consumed after repeated use.
