How this matchup plays

Splitting Phantasm illusions to clear out Chen’s entire army is usually the first step to winning a fight. His controlled creeps are his main strength, but they melt to the physical damage from multiple Chaos Knights, leaving him exposed and with little impact. After his army is gone, a single Reality Rift is often enough to secure the kill, as Chen has no escape and is too fragile to withstand the burst damage. It’s an interesting contrast, because Chen's global heal and early game pressure are great for supporting a friendly Chaos Knight. When they're on opposite sides, however, CK’s core identity directly dismantles everything Chen wants to do.
