Did u created offering for creeps? That is thrown money. Buy something for urself. you are more important then creeps...

2 By KtN+ 2007-01-01

...linken sphere

3 By slayerofbill 2007-01-01

desolater+penitence= massive damage amounts due to increased damage from spell and armor reduction

4 By Himura 2007-01-01

actually , i listed some optional items, if you want you can cross out the vladimirs offering and save up a little for a guinsoo, i only put vladimirs to support your team mates, and the chen build i made is a support-creep type, this means your creeps kill for you and many auras stack for speed and regeneration, and again please dont make creeps like nothing, creeps u have make you more than any hero, having a creeps with 2 second stun 2 pieces and 3 speed aura? what more can you ask, if your asking for items for your self consider your creeps items, if your scared of nukers you shouldnt remember that you have team mates you can rely on to take out those nukes along with your creeps

5 By Wishmaster 2007-01-02

An ogre magi is a nice thing too
zerg is something that you can give if you have an ally there or just add frost armor. mana can be an issue, but that's why you have a ring of basilus

6 By alve 2007-01-06

vlad? why vlad? vlad's only for mellee?

7 By fadi 2007-01-06

it is good but i love to play chen a hero killer

8 By oneshotkill 2007-01-07

..MAYBE ARCANE RING WILL COME IN HANDY..COZ IT WILL GIVE YOUR CREEPS A REFRESH ON MANA..135 MANA IS NOT BAD..Y DONT YOU ADD CHAMPION FULBROG WITH COMMAND AURA..ITS KINDA HARD 2 FIND BUTS ITS WORTH IT..EYE OF SKADI IS USEFUL WITH THIS BUILT COZ IT WILL GIVE YOU MORE TIME TO WACK YOUR OPPONENT..

9 By oneshotkill 2007-01-07

ANOTHER THING TRY NOT TO LEVEL UP HAND OF GOD IN LEVEL 11..ADD IT TO TEST OF FAITH FOR BETTER DAMAGE..ITS FULL HEAL IN YOUR CREEPS ANYWAY..

10 By aliboy 2007-01-08

I think HoM is not a very good item on Chen. I would prefer eye of skadi to boost ur stats. And may i remind you that HoM can be used on your summoned creeps. I also prefer Linkens Sphere than HoD again because of the stats boost.

11 By lone_destroyer47 2007-01-09

Holy hell!!! Vlad and Hand don't mix. Get skadi and dagon if you want to kill IMGDO.

12 By AoW.WaRChieF 2007-01-09

No vlad, but all these people seem to think this is meant to be a killing strategy.. This is meant to be a creeping guide, you support your team with push and movespeed. You also stun in battle w/ AOE. Rather than Skadi, take deso, it helps the team more.

13 By AoW.WaRChieF 2007-01-09

Also, I gave you an 8, only thing missing would be good screenshots to see where each of the creeps spawn most often, such as the ursas only spawn in the top left sentinel and bottom left scourge side. And centaurs are spotted here...yada yada. Other than that, good job.

14 By mm 2007-02-18

nice strat 8/10

15 By puppetz5 2007-03-05

i prefer:
skadi
meka
BoT
linken
any item to boost armor or hp(probably a heart?.. ^_^)
and the creeps are:
centaur
centaur
fulrbolg. hihi.
try it. bec. i tried it in a 5on5.

What the best neutral creeps can I convert with Chen???

18 By caspian 2007-04-20

as of v6.43b, the best creeps Chen can convert (depending on their usefulness) are
1)Centaur Khan lvl 5
2)Polar Furbolg Ursa Warrior lvl 5
3)Kobold Taskmaster lvl 2
4)Satyr Hellcaller lvl 6
5)Ogre Magi lvl 3

Normally, Chen should get 1 centaur/furbolg + kobold + satyr to get the maximum benefit for his team. Centaur/furbolg to stun, Kobold gives movement speed aura (useful for chasing/ganking), Satyr gives regeneration aura and shockwave(spell to finish off very low hp heroes).

Satyr trickster/Forest troll high priest are not so useful anymore. The troll doesn't have abolish magic anymore. The trickster only has purge, and has too low hp.

Other heroes (besides the above) that can counter a creeping Chen:
1)enchantress
2)doom bringer
3)any hero with a HoM/Helm of the dominator

19 By fwii~ 2007-04-29

Good guide but it's not getting the credit that it deserves. Honestly this guide is waaaay better then the other chen guides. Too bad alot of people don't like micro.

20 By kelso99 2007-06-10

nice items. me, i'll add 1 or 2 bracers and of course the DIFFUSAL! I'd scrap HoD. i'll go straight for aegis after manta. then guinsoo. but your strat is pretty good. support-micro for me is the best build for chen. another tourny favorite. never tried it with vlad tepish tho

21 By kelso99 2007-06-10

ps. any hero will run after seeing 2 centaur khans even with a backup. you set the stunners in the forest behind them or their exit point so that when they flee they'll end up stunned or if they decide to become greedy and fight penitence asap then rush your khans from behind your target then its GeGe. btw your strat with ganking with teamates is nice. very vivid like an action flick oi loyket

22 By Darknesswaker 2007-06-22

The items you buy are perfect for your strat I think, but I prefer playing chen like a hero killer that is the reason why I just give 8 / 10 No resentment for this I hope

23 By Maxxxx 2007-08-13

The only way to play chen is COMBAT CHEN getting hime mkb, crit and butterfly ur strat is the tool way to go. way to screw with life.

24 By GiGa_WooTAgE 2007-08-14

Nice guide abit short though and i dont agree with mek on Chen there no need the money could me better spend on something else like blink is good on chen for escaping or catching someone.
6/10

25 By Malyvuth 2007-08-29

this hero can not kill hero easily.

26 By osciir 2007-10-03

Baah, this guide didn't work out for me at all...

27 By shaman_nick 2007-10-04

Need a Combat KILLER Chen:

My build :

Mjollnir
Mekansm/HoT/Skadi
PowerTreads
Dagon/Dagger
Linkens/Guinsoo
Burizado/Desolator

Just remember to max out other spells except holy persuasion but get stats up instead......
Attack like this:
Penitence,Desolator hit,
Test of faith,Dagon,hits,Guinsoo,hits
Penitence,finish......

28 By Icyferno 2007-10-24

This guide is seriously not complete, firstly, there is nothing on microing creeps. secondly, the guide does not teach you how to use creeps to escape to your advantage.

29 By AXCELACCEL 2007-11-07

nice build dont forget skadi

30 By ryanusher 2007-11-30

good guide, but, if youre like me and suck at micromanaging, grab 3 hellcallers for the shockwaves, thats a spammable 300 damage. goes well with your test of faith ^___^

31 By richy 2007-12-04

I DONT LIKE THIS FUCKING HERO! I HATED BUT... SOME TIMES HE OWNS ME WITH ALL HIS POWER....SHIT

32 By blade113 2008-04-13

wala q naintindihan
wala wenta!!!
dota na lng 1 0n 1 pustahan pa!!!!!

33 By Twelve 2008-04-24

Meh, dont really like this guide, isnt aggressive enough,and it hasnt been updated. Chen? Treads, Mek, Vlads are nice, vlads with an alpha wolf nearby is what, +46% dmg? thats +24 chaos dmg for centaur and furbolg. I generally like furbolg better, more dmg and the slow might aswell be a stun, dark trolls are imba. If the enemy has too much AoE to use creeps, ignore it entirely and get test of faith and dagon 3 or so, massive dmg.
add me on us east if anyone wants to play, i use twelve/chen/visag

34 By ZOMGIMBAHAQ 2008-05-11

Ogre Magi doesnt work anymore (i dont think)
Troll warlord is amazing though. + centaur + lvl 2 satyr (forgot name) It has purge tho. Mass disable, esp if u get guinsoo. I would try to get an Arcane as your creeps dont regen mana.
