How to Play Khaled in Apex Legends: A Guide to Khaled's Skills and Playstyle

Decisive Peak Khaled is a brand new warrior hero set to be released on May 8th. He is the King of the Desert, who has been accustomed to war since childhood. As he grew up, he wanted to protect the desert and possesses the magical power to control flying sand. Many players are very curious about this new hero's skills and gameplay. Below is an explanation to help everyone get a head start in understanding, so that they can use him more effectively in actual combat.

Khaled's passive skill allows him to accumulate "Desert Power" while moving. Once fully charged, he can glide across the sand, increasing his movement speed and enhancing his next basic attack, causing higher physical damage and reducing the target's movement speed for a certain period.

His first skill, "Desert Hurricane," spins his sand blade, dealing physical damage to surrounding enemies and pulling them towards himself. During the skill, it will pull targets 3 times in total. His second skill, "Flowing Sand Protection," gathers the power of flowing sand to protect himself, continuously restoring health and reducing damage taken.

During the casting period, quicksand appears underfoot, which reduces the movement speed of enemies if they step on it. This skill requires focused casting; any other action during the duration will interrupt it. His ultimate skill summons a sandstorm to charge at a designated target, granting immunity to control effects and dealing physical damage and continuous pushing effect to enemies along its path.

Upon reaching the destination, Khaled will slam the ground, dealing physical damage and a stun effect to enemies within range, and fully charging his Desert Power. In actual combat, it is recommended to start with the ultimate to control enemies and stack the passive, followed by a basic attack for enhanced damage, then using the first skill for damage and control, and finally the second skill to stay in place and help teammates reach safety.

The gameplay for Decisive Peak Khaled has been shared above. Overall, this new hero, who controls flowing sand and wields a round blade, has multiple displacement, area damage, control, and high damage reduction self-protection abilities. Utilizing these well should allow for strong advancement and group control on the battlefield.
