"Gong is an addiction and he's making me stupid." Definitely can't relate with my bond 10 lvl 100 Gong on JP.

I have this cruel idea of running Arash with gong, but giving Arash guts status so he can live after using his Stella and then immediately afterwards yeeting him again with gong

[@nineflames2863]

Pro tip: Get two NP5 copies and keep one at lvl 1. Not only is he more consistent of a solo "support" than Leonidas thanks to his lower HP, but he's also capable of offing forced story support, thus allowing you to solo pretty much _any_ quest even if you can't take a friend's Georgios. As for his intended use cases: Easily the best non-5 star servant in the game. In fact I'd argue he competes with a good chunk of the 5-stars, especially if your support lineup is up to snuff. His damage output is absurd and he can cycle through an entire backline of five supports within a 3-turn window. His support game is also phenomenal, especially if you have a few crit berserkers ready to go. Grailed him to 90 on JP and I regret nothing. I'll probably go for 100 with maxed out Fou bonuses this time around lol.

[@KRP71390]

I mean, having 2 NP5's would be great and all, but if your looking for a 'solo enabler', you only really need NP6 (5+1, 'cause why give up on leveling such a great unit?). Yeah, you lose out on some damage, but the whole point is supposed to be you fight with only one, right?

[@kusamaID]

Chen Gong: Casually kills teammate every day

[@steffy2]

Every day? He kills at least 3 every time he leaves the house

[@ivanbluecool]

Don't trust him behind you. A fun unit overall to start using for yeet teams. But I do want to warn people it's gonna be somewhat hard to do loops as without many high chargers it's gonna be hard to get back to 100 each time. I'm probably gonna do a Chen gong black grial set up with many np gain or charge units to try for fun.

[@hjt091]

Fun fact: there's an interlude later on (I think Lanling's?) where you fight Blackbeard, and he's hired Chen to help him. The first few turns Chen does nothing except buff himself and BB up, then he fully charges his NP and shoots Blackbeard at you. He also does a countdown while he's charging his NP

[@ivanbluecool]

@@hjt091 that sounds fun but I don't have lanling so I won't be able to try it.

[@ousamadearudesuwa]

Well, the loop part is the fun part of Chen Gong. As an avid 3turn farmer with chen, you usually have to wait for the Castoria support to give him the true NP loop + the free waver.

[@ivanbluecool]

@@ousamadearudesuwa I'm just waiting for the Nero bride buff on na and I'll be able to loop a lot with a starting charge ce. I do have waver already same as Tamamo

[@RyanVonAegir]

Chen Gong smiles as he puts a dagger in your back, then summons Killer Queen to blow you up.

[@zangatsubankai]

Worth noting that since Sacrifice treats Chen as the unit's killer, he has a very odd synergy with 500-Year Obsession. If there are quests where you need Chen to make a graceful exit but enemies can't/won't kill him (because they're spending too much damn time jerking off with useless skills), a lv.1 chen with 5YO is pretty much guaranteed to die in a single hit with the curse. It's useless if you're using him for the AA duoloop or his own "looping" but it's worth keeping in the back of your mind.

[@ultimateshadeofwar]

[@gyrasolune5436]

I mean, don't -sleep- on his 2nd skill. I mean it when I say literally ANY one of his skills would be immensely valuable on a low rarity servant. Keep in mind how incredibly rare charge is on low-rarities - and keep in mind how incredibly rare AOE defense on a skill is, -period-. The complete list of Servants who can give that: Mash (unless it's Lostbelt time), Waver, Reines, Ereshkigal, Bedivere (for one turn), Archer Artoria (last rateup: last year. rate-up prospects two years from now: none)...and Chen Gong.

[@Encephelonify]

This skill is amazing. I mean, 10% NP charge is a no-brainer, but also a 24% DEF increase and a 350 damage cut really compensates for some servants' weakness to regular card damage. Like... Berserkers, for instance. As usual the DEF and damage cut combination is disgusting. To anybody, do NOT sleep on this skill.

He's probably the strongest and most easily available servant that I'm unlikely to ever use. It's a similar situation to Arash. I just didn't like killing the guy just to attack. But at least with Arash I could acknowledge it. He isn't dragging anyone else down. Chen Gong? This guy would just end up killing the characters I like more than him.
