How this matchup plays

Thinking you can catch a hero out with Flux is usually a safe bet, but it's a trap against Chen. He is always surrounded by his personal army of creeps, making Flux completely ineffective and allowing him to run straight at you. This constant pressure from Chen's controlled units makes the laning phase miserable for Arc Warden, who needs a safe space to farm. Chen can easily push down towers with his creeps, shrinking the map long before Arc Warden gets the items he needs to fight back or split-push effectively with his Tempest Double.
