Khaleed – Counters
Weak against (counters)
Khaleed is countered by heroes who have the ability to knock him back or airborne to interrupt his 2nd Skill, such as X.Borg and Chou.
Strong against
Khaleed counters heroes who lack mobility like Cyclops and Xavier since they will have difficult time avoiding his combo.
Best partners
Because Khaleed can deal a lot of AOE damage, he works well with heroes like Roger and Karina who excel at finishing off multiple low HP targets.

Khaleed – Skills
Sand Walk
Khaleed accumulates Desert Power while moving. After Desert Power is fully charged, he will glide on sand, increasing Movement Speed by 35%, making his next Basic Attack deal 50 (+140% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to the target (cannot Crit), and reducing the target's Movement Speed by 40% for 1.5s.
Desert Tornado
CD: 6.5
Khaleed whirls his scimitar, dealing 175 (+130% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in the area and pulling them toward him. This skill can be used up to 3 time(s) in a row.
This skill deals 60% damage to Minions and Creeps.
Quicksand Guard
CD: 18
Khaleed protects himself with quicksand, restoring HP equal to 60 + 5% of his Max HP and 10 Desert Power every 0.5s. He also gains 25% Damage Reduction for up to 4s.
While channeling, quicksand appears beneath him, slowing the enemy by 60%.
This is a Focused Cast. Other control effects will interrupt this skill.
Raging Sandstorm
CD: 46
Khaleed rides the sandstorm and charges toward a designated location, dealing 100 (+50% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies along the way and knocking them toward his destination. Khaleed is immune to control effects during this process.
Upon reaching the destination, Khaleed will smash the ground, dealing 450 (+160% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in the area and stunning them for 1s, and fully charge his Desert Power.
Combo
TEAMFIGHT COMBOS
In teamfights, use Khaleed's Ultimate to initiate, then hit a target with his enhanced Basic Attack and continue the attack with his 1st Skill. Once Desert Power is full again, use another Basic Attack. Then use Khaleed's 2nd Skill to recover HP and reduce incoming damage.
LANING COMBOS
In the laning phase, move around to fill up Khaleed's Desert Power first, then hit the opponent with the enhanced Basic Attack to slow them and follow up with 3 hits from his 1st Skill. This should fill up his Desert Power again, allowing for another enhanced Basic Attack.
