Strategy
Bring a sentry or two to the lane to unblock the camps. Chen's laning impact is directly related to summon usage.
If you find Harpy Stormcrafter you will have massive kill potential with the slow from Penitence.
Aside from using summons to harass on the lane, you can gank with them, stack camps, control runes, block camps and even snipe couriers.
Keep an eye on the map and save your teammates in trouble by using Hand of God.
You want to group up early with your team and make use of your summons and auras to play aggressively.
When not much is happening on the map, you can split push with your summons.
Look to farm and play greedy once you have level 3 Holy Persuasion. An early timing on Mekansm into Solar Crest lets you snowball the game.
You can choose a Convert facet to cover the weakness or enforce the strength of your team, such as stun lock, damage, or laning.
Counter Strategy
Against Chen, block off small and big pull camps either with a sentry or with your hero's body.
Chen lineups tend to powerspike in early to midgame. Don't buy greedy items.
Look to gank Chen as you will kill his army as well.
Items that reduce healing are good against Chen.
Chen lineups are good at taking early Roshan. Ward around Roshpit and check.
Be aware of Chen applying strong dispel with Hand of God if he has the level 25 talent.
Lore
Born in the godless Hazhadal Barrens, Chen came of age among the outlaw tribes who eked out an existence in the shimmering heat of the desert. Using an ancient form of animal enthrallment, Chen's people husbanded the hardy desert locuthi, a stunted species of burrowing dragon that melted desert sands into tubes of glass where twice-a-year rains collected. Always on the edge of starvation and thirst, fighting amongst their neighbors and each other, Chen's clan made the mistake, one fateful day, of ambushing the wrong caravan.
In the vicious battle that followed, Chen's clan was outmatched. The armored Knights of the Fold made short work of the enthralled locuthi, who attacked and died in waves. With their dragons dead, the tribesmen followed. Chen struggled, and slashed, and clawed, and perished--or would have. Defeated, on his knees, he faced his execution with humility, offering his neck to the blade. Moved by Chen's obvious courage, the executioner halted his sword. Instead of the blade, Chen was given a choice: death or conversion. Chen took to the faith with a ferocity. He joined the Fold and earned his armor one bloody conversion at a time. Now, with the fanaticism of a convert, and with his powers of animal enthrallment at their peak, he seeks out unbelievers and introduces them to their final reward.
