Bladed Vortex Boss chest

The Bladed Vortex evolution starts with the Poisoned Throwing Knives in Age of Sigmar runs. You need the Gauntlet at any level.

Multiple launch-week guides list this pairing. This is a source cross-check, not a claim that this site tested the recipe in game.

How do you get Bladed Vortex?

This pairing is for Age of Sigmar runs. A familiar passive can lead to a different recipe in the other universe, so check the universe label before building around it.

Bladed Vortex evolution checklist: use the Poisoned Throwing Knives, carry Gauntlet at any level, and open a boss or elite chest. This is the core requirement set for the Bladed Vortex evolution in Age of Sigmar runs.

• Base weapon: Poisoned Throwing Knives; max level is required before its evolution step.
• Passive: Gauntlet at any level.
• Chest: a boss or elite chest after the requirements are ready.
• Result: replaces the base weapon (standard evolution).

Step by step

Keep the weapon, passive and eligible chest requirements in view together. A matching weapon and passive do not trigger an evolution by themselves; the chest is the final step.

1. Level the Poisoned Throwing Knives to max. Most weapons max out at level 8.
2. Pick up the Gauntlet. Any level works, so you do not need to upgrade it.
3. Open a boss or elite chest. Kill a boss or elite enemy and open the chest it drops. If the weapon and passive are both ready, the chest gives you Bladed Vortex.

• In Warhammer 40,000 runs, the Gauntlet evolves the Lasgun into Meltagun.
