Skill analysis

Khaleed possesses four unique abilities, including his passive. Let’s explore how you can make the most out of these new skills for optimal results.

Passive – Sand Walk (Speed Up, Damage)

Mobile Legends Khaleed Passive

Khaleed has a unique passive which allows him to get a sand skateboard whenever his rage bar is full. After Desert Power is fully charged, he will glide on the sand, increasing Movement Speed by 35%, making his next Basic Attack deal 50 + 140% Total Physical Attack (Physical Damage) to the target (cannot critically strike), and reducing the target’s Movement Speed by 40% for 1.5s.

Skill 1- Desert Tornado (AOE)

CD – 6.5

Mobile Legends Khaleed Skill 1

Khaleed strikes with his blade to deal damage to the surrounding enemies causing 200 + 140% of his total physical attack (Physical damage) to nearby enemies and drawing them closer to him. You can use this skill up to 3 times in a row. It deals 50% damage to minions and creeps.

Skill 2 – Quicksand Guard (Reduce Damage, Heal)

CD – 22.0

Mobile Legends Khaleed Skill 2

Khaleed creates a swirling quicksand vortex around himself, simultaneously slowing nearby enemies and granting him healing. This skill, functioning as a buff, can be disrupted by any enemy crowd control. Lasting up to 4 seconds, it also reduces incoming damage by 35%. Throughout its duration, Khaleed regenerates 60 HP plus 5% of his lost health and gains 10 Desert Power every 0.5 seconds. It’s a particularly effective counter against heroes like Hayabusa.

Ultimate skill – Raging Sandstorm (CC, Mobility)

CD – 46.0

Mobile Legends Khaleed Ultimate

Khaleed takes control of a sandstorm, dashing towards a chosen location and inflicting 100 (+50% Total Physical Attack) physical damage to enemies along the way, knocking them towards his destination. Immune to control effects during this action. Upon reaching the destination, he delivers a powerful ground smash, dealing 450+160% Total Physical Attack physical damage in the area, stunning enemies for 1 second, and fully charging his Desert Power.

Khaleed remains immune to crowd control throughout, making it an effective escape option in tight spots. However, be mindful of the skill’s casting speed and time your moves accordingly.

Skill-up method for Khaleed

Begin by unlocking his first skill, followed by the second skill. Unlock his ultimate at level 4. Focus on leveling up the first skill, then the second skill, and prioritize the Ultimate whenever possible. Skill 1 > Skill 2 > Ultimate.

Combinations to perform with Khaleed

Khaleed has two main types of combos: one without using his Ultimate and the other involving his Ultimate. Mastering these combos is crucial, as they unleash substantial damage and make it easy to eliminate low-health enemies.

Combo 1

Khaleed’s Skill 1 involves spinning, allowing you to quickly eliminate enemies and clear minion waves. Spin with Skill 1, follow each rotation with a basic attack for damage, and move strategically to restore the passive with jumps. Unleash basic attacks whenever the passive is full. This straightforward combo is effective in various situations.

Skill1 + Basic Attack + Move + Basic Attack + Move + Basic Attack

Combo 2

I recommend this combo, especially in ganking. However, ensure precise aiming with the ultimate, as it moves slowly and enemies can evade it. Aim for the circle to capitalize on the stun for maximum damage. Retreat when your health drops below 50%. Use the second skill to heal rapidly, then resume the combos.

Ultimate + Skill1 + Basic Attack + Move + Basic Attack + Move + Basic Attack

It will provide both Spell Vamp, Adaptive Attack, and Hybrid Defense. For standard talent, we would recommend going with Thrill and Master Assassin, for the core talent Concussive Blast, as they will provide adaptive attack, increase damage to lone heroes, and HP-based AOE damage enhances Khaleed’s attacks and add extra damage based on enemy health, maximizing his effectiveness in team fights.

For standard talent, you can select Rupture and Festival of Blood as your standard talents, which will grant you adaptive penetration and an additional spell vamp to help sustain your lane. For the core talent, Concussive Blast is recommended, as it works well with his playstyle.

Battle Spell

Khaleed prefers using Flicker as his battle spell in Mobile Legends because it boosts his movement, helping him start fights, escape danger, and position well in team battles. While Flicker is the main choice, Vengeance is also good for reducing damage and striking back at attackers during team fights. Petrify is useful for controlling enemies and gaining an advantage in battles, and if you want to secure kills, Execute is effective, dealing extra damage. Each spell serves a different purpose, giving Khaleed flexibility based on the situation.

However, it’s crucial to create a balanced build to survive in battles. Look for items that offer defense, movement speed, health points, and physical damage to ensure Khaleed’s effectiveness on the battlefield.

Mobile Legends Khaleed Gameplay Tips

Khaleed is a powerful hero who excels in team fights. Remember to choose boots based on the enemy’s damage type. His gameplay can be divided into three phases: early, mid, and late game. Our Mobile Legends Khaleed guide provides strategies for each phase. However, players need to have a good understanding of the map to bring the best out of any hero.

Early game

Begin the game by clearing the exp lane minions and if you cleared the minion wave first swiftly take the Crab. Be cautious and wait in the bush for potential enemies. Khaleed is strong early on, allowing for an aggressive playstyle, but avoids overextending to prevent feeding. Take some time to farm, enabling Khaleed to endure damage. Maintain a strategic position to quickly follow up on tank-initiated ganks and execute combos.

In ganks, position yourself accordingly. Try to get early kills to boost mid-game damage. Engage in jungle skirmishes and ganks when your ultimate is ready, and stay vigilant by regularly checking the minimap for potential threats or opportunities.

Mid game

In the mid-game, focus on taking down towers and join ganks towards the end to secure kills. Support your carry and shield them from enemy assassins, as Khaleed’s skills make him challenging for assassins. When given the opportunity, solo push to deal significant damage, as Khaleed is most potent in the mid-game. Complete core items during this phase and actively engage in team fights, using your mobility and crowd control to initiate or protect teammates.

Take advantage of Khaleed’s fast wave-clearing ability for split-pushing. Coordinate with your team to secure objectives like turrets and the Turtle, and stay alert to engage or disengage as the situation demands.

Late game

In the late game, Khaleed is powerful, but lacking defense items makes him vulnerable. Avoid solo ganks and stick close to your tank for safety. Utilize your ultimate to chase and stun enemies, executing combos at the right moment. Stay hidden at times to target and eliminate the enemy carry. Don’t roam alone in the late game. Prioritize impactful items, adapt your build to the enemy, and strategically use your ultimate to initiate fights or catch opponents off guard.

Stay with your team, excel in group engagements, secure objectives like Lord, and work towards closing out the game. Keep control of the map and be wary of potential enemy ambushes. Effective communication with your team is vital for successful late-game plays.
