How To Beat Revenant Kado Thorne
Revenant Kado Thorne was released with the Fortnitemares 2023 update and has provided a challenge for players who want to claim his sword for their own, to have a better chance of claiming the Victory Royale. Inside the boss room, players can find multiple pillars. These are great to hide behind whilst shooting Kado Thorne from cover.
When Kado Thorne’s chest glows red, players need to hide behind something, as he will drain the player’s health for his own, but only if he has a line of sight. Hiding behind one of these pillars will stop that. Quick firing and long-range weapons are advised for fighting Kado Thorne, due to his large health pool and close-range attacks. Players can’tuse Gold Barsto buy themselves out of this fight.

Thorne’s Vampiric Blade Stats
Kado Thorne’s custom forged Kinetic Blade imbued with the ability to siphon health from enemies with each hit.
This Mythic sword harksback to the Kinetic bladesthat featured heavily inFortnite’s previous Chapter 4 seasons. With Thorne’s Vampiric Blade, players can attack their enemies with the Knockback Slash with R2/RT, and combo them up to three times. With each direct hit, that health will be drained and placed into the player, meaning they can siphon health and keep themselves as alive as the immortal blood-sucking vampires that wield such a weapon.
Players can also hit L2/LT to activate a Dash Attack. This will send players forward, whether through the air or otherwise. During and after this attack, players won’t take fall damage, so they can use it for quick getaways. This can be used 3 times, with each time presenting a 20-second cooldown.
