How this matchup plays
Thinking Chen's high-health creeps can stand and fight Outworld Destroyer is a common mistake. The pure damage from Arcane Orb is the key here; it bypasses the typical physical or magical defenses of Chen's army, allowing OD to burn through them much faster than most cores can. This steadily weakens Chen's pushing and fighting power. Outworld Destroyer can also use Astral Imprisonment to isolate a key creep or save an ally from a gank, disrupting Chen's control over a fight. The advantage is only slight because OD needs time and items to apply this pressure effectively, but he has the tools to systematically dismantle what makes Chen strong.
