CODEX

Each kill with this swooping blade adds bonus corrosive damage to the Djinn Sentinel’s next Fatal Attraction cast. In turn, each Fatal Attraction cast by the sentinel bestows the weapon with a period of corrosive damage.

The Gazal Machete is a unique melee weapon that serves as a companion weapon to the Djinn sentinel. Each enemy killed will add potential  Corrosive damage to Djinn's radial corrosive blast, and each consecutive cast of  Fatal Attraction will buff the Gazal Machete with additional corrosive damage for a short period of time.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Slash damage.

Advantages

• High  Slash damage – effective against health.
• Very high status chance.
• Above average attack speed.
• Synergizes with the Djinn;
  • Kills with this weapon will add additional  Corrosive damage to  Fatal Attraction's radial blast.
  • Any time Djinn casts Fatal Attraction, the Gazal Machete gains additional  Corrosive damage for a period of time.
    • Innate  Corrosive damage – effective against Ferrite Armor and Fossilized.
• Innate polarity.

Disadvantages

• Low  Impact and  Puncture damage – less effective against shields and armor.
• Djinn's synergy has innate  Corrosive – less effective against Proto Shields.
• Low critical chance.

Acquisition

The Gazal Machete's blueprint can be researched from the Tenno Lab in the dojo.

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.
