Xero is a Warrior Dream Boss in Hollow Knight. Bosses are special Enemies that feature their own arena, a large amount of health, and a variety of unique moves and abilities. You will need to perform multiple attacks such as using The Nail and Nail Arts along with the Spells and Abilities in order to defeat them. Some bosses are capable of entering into a state of stagger after landing a number of attacks on them.
As soon as you encounter a boss, its name will appear on the screen, the music will change into a boss battle theme, and usually, paths connecting the arena will close or will be blocked leaving you no choice but to face these devastating and unique foes.
Lingering dream of a fallen warrior. Executed for crimes against the King.
A life defined by tragedy and triumph. A death marred by sorrow and regret. A spirit burdened by sins and memories. Better to wander the world than be cursed with glory. - Xero

Xero Strategies
Strategy Writeup
Xero is the first Warrior Dream boss that you can encounter. He is easy to deal with since he only has one attack where he calls forth a projectile in the form of the nail. At first, he'll call out 2 nails where he will shoot it out towards The Knight one at a time. You can identify when he will start to telegraph the attack since he will release a grunting sound before the nail shoots down on you. However, once he reaches about 50% health, he'll call forth 2 more projectiles and he'll have an increase of attack speed. He'll still do the same method where he'll grunt before shooting out the nail allowing you to prepare to dodge for the projectile.

Xero is so underrated as a warrior spirit character, often overlooked. He’s a top favourite warrior spirit of mine - I like his design and appearance, his voice, and his character in general. I also think he might be a moth in knight’s armor - it looks that way. So tragic. He’s a good guy in his heart and soul... Infection took him like so many others, and it wasn’t fair... I will always despise the Radiance...
My friend got me into this game a it looks amazing thank you for the info
