Xero

Behaviour and Tactics
Xero only has one attack:


 * Nail Cast: Xero will spawn in 2 glowing Nails. While floating around he will constantly shoot out one of his nails in The Knight's direction and will draw it back. He will shoot a Nail every 1-2 seconds. Coming into contact with the nail while it's being drawn back still can deal damage. At 50% hp Xero will spawn 2 more Nails and his attack pace will increase to 0.75 seconds between each Nail Cast.

If the player stands slightly away from Xero when they fire their nail, then dashes to directly below them in the first phase, the nail can be easily avoided.

The player can heal easily by running off the platform and to the far left of the area, where Xero's attacks will not reach, or by running under the platform. Note that this is not possible when fought in Godhome.

Trivia

 * Xero comments that he thought strength would grant him freedom, and mentions dreams of cutting the plague with his nails. This suggests that his rebellion against the King may have been orchestrated by The Radiance.
 * His grave message used to read "Here lies a Traitor", which was changed in a later update to the current message.
