Chen keeps a team alive with Hand of God, a heal that reaches every allied hero on the map, and Divine Favor amplifies the healing an ally receives. Penitence slows a target and speeds up allied attacks on it, and a silence stops both Hand of God and Holy Persuasion. Damage from enemy heroes also cancels a Zealot teleport.
Counter items
Spirit VesselSoul Release cuts the healing that Hand of God and Divine Favor provide.
Black King BarAvatar blocks Penitence, so its slow and the allied attack speed bonus never apply.
Orchid MalevolenceSoul Burn silences Chen, shutting off Hand of God and Holy Persuasion.
