How to play Chou

1Ultimate knock is your team’s initiation — pick a target BEFORE engaging, not during.
2S1 dashes through walls and reset on hit — practice the 3-chain dash.
3Flicker + Ult is the highest-percentage pick in ranked.
4Against burst teams, swap Endless Battle for Oracle.
5Always ward the target you’re diving before ulting.
