Notes[]
- When the Gazal Machete kills an enemy, the Djinn sentinel will gain 50 bonus
Corrosive damage on its next successful cast of
Fatal Attraction's radial blast. This bonus can stack up to a maximum of 10 times, for a maximum of 500 bonus damage after 10 kills. These stacks reset once Fatal Attraction has performed a radial blast or when Djinn dies. (The numbers might need to be checked again, I don't see any difference after 7 kills, and the max damage is more around 2800 for me)
- Upon Fatal Attraction activating, the Gazal Machete will receive 25% additional bonus damage as
Corrosive for 30 seconds. (the bonus isn't always 25%, probably bugged if it's supposed to be a specific amount)
Trivia[]
- The Gazal is the first weapon ingame that has specific synergistic abilities with another different item, in this case the Djinn sentinel.
- The word Gazal is the alternative spelling of Ghazal, a Middle Eastern poetic form consisting of rhyming couplets and a refrain, with each line sharing the same meter.
- The blade's profile is similar to that of the Kukri, a Nepalese/Indian knife used similar to a machete.
