HOW TO PLAY

Chou guide for Season 41

Chou is a Fighter hero. They depend on choosing the right trades and turning a small lead into lane control. It chases targets with no escape particularly well.

GAME PLAN

In the opening minutes, secure the wave and avoid extended trades until the key ability is available.

Before the first Turtle, push the lane and then rotate. Arriving early is not worth a tower and two lost waves.

In late fights, approach from a side angle. Walking straight at the enemy removes much of the threat.

Reference combo: S1 → S2 → AA. Practise the order, but do not force it while the target still has an escape.
