Tank chou

Alpha_Omega2nd

i mainly main tanks on ranked but i been looking to play fighter tank on classic (chou and ruby)
i gotta say watching vids of good players playing them is amazing, especially chou.
i tried to play chou with all tank build, worked pretty well (26 matches 60%ish wr)
i wanna know even if i use him to be tank, is it viable to use one attack item?if it is, do i buy at early or mid-late game?

yeah tbh full damage isnt doable for him, he'll die almost everytime after ult one hero in teamfight. i tried this and he feels so squishy. thats why i went ahead and tried full tank cuz of his skills is so good to initiate

Chou is amazing as you can either play him as a tank or fighter.
You can play Chou as a tank if your lineup has only one tank.
Example: Gusion(Midlaner), Leomord(Solo Top Offlaner), Khufra(Primary Tank), Claude(Marksman).
Then you can Chou tank as you already have a solo offlaner (Leomord).

As for build,
See if enemy has more magic damage and that too early game or not (Example: Lylia, Selena), then go for Magic Defense Boots.
Else if your lane has physical dmg, go for Physical Defense Boots.

Buy first Athena, then you can go make BOD and Endless as complete tank chou seems kinda useless if team not giving up follow damage.
It's good if you in full lobby where everyone is ready to kill as soon as you disable one enemy hero.

Well that's it, it depends on the situation and thats why Chou is very flexible.

TLDR: Go for semi, if Support Chou (With Tank Emblem).

He's very good to be a tank, it's also good to add one attack item.. but you must make a shoe item and one defense item before buying an attack item, maybe in mid-game

I would prefer tank items with endless batller and bod (half tank half fighter), i think to thats only way to rank up with him

Semi-Tank is the way to go with chou if you already have a tank, 2 tanks (Main tank and semi tank) is a really good composition even in mobile legends tournament, You can start with your shoes, Either being warrior boots or tough boots (One for Physical damage and one for magical damage) then proceed with endless battle you can continue with 7seas or bod then proceed with the other 3 defense items, not to mention that you already have defensive shoes. Build the 1st defense item based on the hero that is hurting you the most(Mage -> Athena) etc..

If you wanna build tank but with 1 damage item try to build athena and boots first, then endless battle

I still play him as a tank, but I buy 1 or 2 attack items so increase the passive and ultimate. Thunderbelt also helps since it deals damage and helps defense-wise. For full dmg Chou, i'm very bad at that since I can never get close enough to deal damage before dying. He's a bit squishy when not buying at least 1 defense item tbh.

Thanks! Semi tank chou is the best really.

I just buy 2 attack items (blade of despair and endless battle) and the rest items are tank.

that makes sense, i tried a couple times full tank  build chou, didnt know any better
it was classic and no tank so i tried it, it worked well as in, i was able to tank, initiate and survive after kicking off one enemy core hero to my team! it was amazing, i even dare to dive tower long enough bcs of this. but ill try ur combo thanks!.
tank emblem with brave smite talent? it seems the most reasonable one with chou skills
