Tips

 * Despite of not being a heavy melee weapon, the Machete Wraith seems to be treated like one, as the swing speed is considerably slow.
 * It also slows down the player when swinging the weapon to a walking pace.
 * It can also hit two enemies instead of only one.
 * It also has a slow charge rate similar to heavy melee weapons.
 * The Machete Wraith can also be treated as the Ether Sword, having base Serrated Blade damage on its regular attacks while doing more damage in comparison.
