Xero Droid

The Xero Droid is a droid that can be first encountered in Elemental Heights.

Appearance
The Xero Droid has gray limbs and head, but its face and torso glows in all sort of colors. It wears a metal helmet strapped with green goggles.

Its 2.0 and 3.0 counterparts appear similar to its original variant, but their skin is only darker; 2.0 is darker than Xero Droid's skin while 3.0's skin is darker than 2.0's.

Behavior
When it first spawns, the Xero Droid will not move or attack, similar to a Friendly Droid. However, upon attacking the droid with a sword or ranged weapon, it will become aggressive. The Xero Droid copies the current walk speed of the player that attacked it (player's walkspeed -2)and its walk speed will change if the attacking player's walk speed changes, for example from equipping a Katana.

Combat Tips
Xero Droids have fairly high hitpoints and high damage, making them dangerous.

When kiting Xero Droids (moving backwards while attacking it), always make large turns if you need to turn around. Making sharp turns will cause the Xero Droid to catch up to you and deal heavy damage. Attacking it while moving in a circle also works if you don't have a long corridor to work with, but try to make the circle as large as the space allows.

Using a Katana to fight this Droid is not a good idea, as it will also speed up to match the player.

There is a room in Elemental Heights with a wall made out of trusses, where a Xero Droid spawns. The Xero Droid in this room can be easily dealt with by luring it to the wall, then climbing up the truss and going to the other side. Simply damage the Xero Droid through the wall with your sword until it dies.

Trivia

 * Active Xero Droids will jump when the player they are chasing jumps.
 * The Xero Droid is the only Droid that does not chase players until they are attacked.
 * Touching an inactive Xero Droid will still damage the player.


 * The Xero Droid and The Dark One are the only Droids with movement speed that depends on the player's movement speed.
