How this matchup plays
Fighting into Chen’s army is a miserable experience for Dragon Knight. He wants to be a durable front-liner, but he has no effective way to clear the multiple units Chen brings to a fight. He gets body-blocked and overwhelmed while trying to reach a target. Penitence makes him even easier to kite, and the damage from the summoned creeps adds up surprisingly fast, even with his natural tankiness. While Chen’s Hand of God can sustain an allied Dragon Knight's push, it completely negates the slow, attritional damage that an enemy DK’s team relies on to win fights. Chen simply controls the pace and positioning of any engagement, leaving Dragon Knight feeling stranded and ineffective.
