Notes

• The first and only melee weapon to have no imposed "roll" on wall attacks.
• The stealth finisher physically moves the player's Warframe and the execution target forward, potentially throwing the player into bottomless pits as well as moving the target into line of sight of other enemies, alerting them when they otherwise would not have seen it.

Tips

• Can reach 95% status with Volcanic Edge Volcanic Edge, Vicious Frost Vicious Frost, Voltaic Strike Voltaic Strike, and Virulent Scourge Virulent Scourge (100% with Drifting Contact Drifting Contact) making it a strong contender for Viral Damage Viral procs to increase damage dealt by slash procs as well as Condition Overload Condition Overload.

Trivia

• The Gunsen (軍扇) is a type of Japanese war fan used by the common soldiery for cooling themselves in hot weather. Unlike other types of war fans, the Gunsen were used more for their intended utility (fanning oneself) than for battle.
• The Gunsen was the first war fan type melee weapon avaliable.
