Why this works
Setting up for a mid-game pick-off can feel a bit disjointed. Nyx Assassin offers a solid stun and burst from stealth, which Chen can try to amplify with Penitence. The issue is that their damage types and timings don't line up well. Nyx unloads his magic damage instantly, while Chen's controlled creeps deal physical damage over time, which often creates a window for the target to react and escape. While both heroes excel at creating early pressure, they end up competing for a similar playmaking space on the map without providing the kind of lockdown or teamfight ultimate that really seals a fight later on.
