— In-Game Description

Thorne's Vampiric Blade is a Melee Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was introduced in Chapter 4: Season 4.

Thorne's Vampiric Blade is the Mythic version of the Kinetic Blade.

Functionality

Functionality[]

Thorne's Vampiric Blade has two different functions:

  • Knockback Slash: Consists of two quick slashes, each dealing 35 damage. The second slash knocks opponents back a certain distance. Opponents hit by this attack are not given the shockwave effect and will take fall damage if knocked back from a considerable height. Using this attack while mid-air will behave differently, with the user holding the second slash until it hits the ground.
  • Dash Attack: The user charges the attack for 1 second, then dashes forward, dealing 60 damage to opponents. This attack can hold up to 3 charges at once, with a cooldown of 10 seconds for each.

When dealing damage, 20% of it is siphoned into health or shield. Dash will siphon 12 points, while the Slash will siphon 14 in total (7 per swing).
