Early game against Chaos Knight

There are several strategies to consider in order to successfully deal with Chaos Knight in the early stages of the game. Choose heroes that deal AoE damage to destroy CK illusions and those who can control CK movement. Since positioning is also key, try to stay away from CK and stay away from allies to minimize damage from his Chaos Bolt ability. Buying items that reduce damage or increase defense can be useful.

Get a good map view to avoid CK surprise attacks, and use stuns, slows, and other forms of control to limit his movement and the movement of his illusions. Try to farm faster and more efficiently to be at the highest level when CK starts attacking, and work with your team to focus on Chaos Knight in fights and take him down quickly.
