Skills

Energy Shockwave

Releases multi-hit area energy shocks that deal stacking damage, with extra armor penetration. Its wide coverage makes it highly effective at clearing clustered enemies.

Frost Field

Attacks apply brief slowing effects, assisting team crowd control. Works best when combined with slow towers to maximize control chains.

Form Shift

(Community Test) May trigger a "Shadow Form" at low HP that increases critical hit chance. Note: This mechanism has not been officially confirmed, use cautiously.

Air Suppression

Effective against both air and ground targets, capable of dealing significant damage to flying units and ground troops alike, offering excellent tactical flexibility.

Deployment Strategy

Economy Management

  • High initial cost (top 10% among all units), requires mid-to-late game economy support
  • Early unit pairing: Choose low-cost units (e.g., B-tier Ruffy) to accumulate funds quickly
  • Upgrade Priority: Prioritize upgrading Xero over same-tier Zarro when resources are limited

Team Composition

  • Support Units: S-tier Slayer Mage (crowd control) or A-tier Whitstache (buff aura)
  • Tank Protection: Pair with high-survivability units to compensate for Xero's lack of self-defense
  • Control Chain Enhancement: Combine with Frost Towers to extend slow duration, creating permanent control zones

Map Strategy

  • Deploy first at multi-path intersections or boss spawn paths
  • Performs best against mass enemy swarms (e.g., zombie waves)
  • Use targeted sniper units against ultra-fast single enemies
