How this matchup plays

Trying to build momentum as Chen feels impossible against Phoenix. Every one of Phoenix's spells is area-of-effect damage, which melts Chen's army of persuaded creeps. Fire Spirits can cripple an entire push on its own, slowing attacks and burning through the health of your summons before they even reach a target. If a full teamfight breaks out, Supernova is a disaster. Chen's units typically lack the high burst damage needed to destroy the egg, especially with their attack speed reduced. The resulting stun and damage field often clears the very army that is supposed to be Chen’s main contribution, stopping his game plan cold.
