Hello friends, in this episode, I will introduce to you how to play Chopper in the manga all-star gathering. Chopper's skills in the game are very true to the original, and he is very useful when the team needs a support role. However, some of you may not have tried such a support hero before, so next, I will share with you the gameplay ideas, including position selection, skills, and equipment pairing and usage.
Firstly, Chopper is a support character that leans towards control. Therefore, it is recommended to pick him when your team lacks a support role. As for which lane to support, it should be determined based on the status of your teammates' heroes. Try to support teammates with stable damage output. Chopper has sufficient control but low skill scaling, so his actual damage is relatively lacking. He needs to be paired with teammates who have strong damage output to achieve better results.
Additionally, for the pre-game skill selection, it is recommended to choose Flash. Many of Chopper's skills have long displacement or recovery times. Pairing them with Flash can change the direction of the skills or cancel the recovery time, thus achieving a surprising effect in combat. This can help to better target the enemy's core players during crucial team fights.
In terms of equipment selection, it is suggested to prioritize Dark Emerald as the first item. Its synthesis path includes an unidentified stone specifically for supports, which can continuously provide gold for Chopper. In situations where there is a lack of minion waves and kill economy, it can provide good economic support for Chopper, ensuring that he can update his equipment in time. Moreover, Dark Emerald also has an effect of providing shields to teammates, which, combined with Chopper's strong control abilities, can better protect teammates.
For shoes, consider choosing Exorcism Sandals, which mainly reduce the duration of being controlled, thereby increasing fault tolerance. This allows Chopper to avoid missing the timing to use skills to protect teammates due to the opponent's control. The next two items should be Frost Armor and Meditation Cloak to increase Chopper's overall tankiness. The fifth item should be the Armor of Vitality to allow Chopper to regenerate health out of combat, ensuring sustainability. Finally, add a Gem of Luck to boost the defense of teammates, further protecting them while also enhancing the quality of the shield provided by Dark Emerald.
Chopper's in-game skill usage is also quite sophisticated. Firstly, his passive allows all his active skills to mark enemies, and attacks from teammates on marked enemies deal additional physical damage. Therefore, it is best to use active skills when teammates can follow up. Additionally, Chopper's passive has a constant bounty of 100, so the impact on the enemy after his death is relatively small, indirectly increasing the team's fault tolerance.
Regarding Chopper's active skills, Skill 1 is a displacement skill that charges forward. Enemies hit along the way will be knocked up. This skill is most effective when the enemies are lined up. Since this skill has a noticeable wind-up, enemies might move or flash to dodge it. At this point, if you connect a Flash just before the skill ends, you can reposition and knock up the enemy directly.
Chopper's Skill 2 also has a knock-up effect, but only the first hit will knock up. Therefore, ensure you are close to the enemy before using it. Subsequently, Chopper will transform into a ball and perform three smashing attacks on surrounding enemies, dealing decent damage. During this process, he also gains 30% damage reduction, making it a good skill for close combat.
Chopper's Skill 3 is a skill that combines displacement and control. It transforms him into a flexible form to kick enemies, causing a 0.7-second knock-up upon hitting them. This skill has high base damage but a long cooldown, so use it cautiously in the early game.
Finally, if you max out Chopper's potential points, he will unlock a transformation skill. The moment of transformation grants a brief invulnerability to control effects. After transforming, his size increases, and his skills are enhanced. The range of Skill 1's charge becomes larger, Skill 2 turns into a forward claw attack, and Skill 3 becomes a wider-range smash. These enhanced skills deal more damage and have a larger area of effect compared to their normal forms. Therefore, in team fights, you can choose to transform directly, allowing Chopper to deal better AOE damage and control effects.
That's all for the content on how to play Chopper in the manga all-star gathering. The gameplay ideas mentioned above are very suitable for Chopper. When playing as a support, adopting these strategies can help you make Chopper perform very well.
