## {{#var:Name}}

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  damage to Djinn's radial corrosive blast, and each consecutive cast of {{#vardefine:Name|Fatal Attraction}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found will buff the Gazal Machete with additional corrosive damage for a short period of time.

The Gazal Machete was added into the game in {{#vardefine:Update|Update: The Vacuum Within }}{{#var:Update}}. The blueprint is available through clan research in the Tenno Lab.
