Chip is unlike any other support hero in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
The Phase Technician can create portals with his ultimate, Shortcut, through which allies and even enemies can enter, teleporting to his location.
This means that a 1v1 fight can swiftly turn into a full-blown team fight when Chip is around.

Furthermore, he has four beacons scattered across the map, enabling him to teleport to any of them at will. This makes him one of the best gankers. The mechanic also discourages enemies from overextending during the laning phase.
Combine these abilities with his mobility skills and crowd control, and Chip becomes one of the most versatile support heroes in the Land of Dawn.
However, Chip is not without his weaknesses.
His ultimate ability provides enemies with an opportunity to exploit the portals he creates, turning his strengths against him. In this ONE Esports guide, we’ll examine three heroes who excel in doing just that.
Three strong counters to Chip in Mobile Legends
Tigreal
Since enemies can also enter the connecting portals, heroes with potent team-fighting abilities, such as Tigreal, can leverage them to their advantage.

When a connecting portal appears near him, Tigreal can enter it and use Implosion to stun enemies who have also entered.
Subsequently, he can cast Sacred Hammer to thrust enemies away from the portal, preventing their return to their initial position.
This tactic is most effective when communication with teammates is established. It’s crucial to inform them of your intention upon entering the portal.
Barats

Barats is another hero renowned for his prowess in team fights, with all his skills inflicting damage across a wide area.
Moreover, he can catch enemies off guard by casting Detona’s Welcome upon entering the portal, consuming the first enemy hit, catching the enemy team off guard.
Before entering a portal, it’s imperative to ensure that Barats has amassed maximum stacks of Big Guy, as he becomes vulnerable without the additional attributes granted by his stacks.
Additionally, another teammate should accompany him in the early to mid-game when entering a portal, as his damage output alone may be insufficient during this phase.
Minsitthar

Similar to Tigreal, Minsitthar possesses an ultimate capable of shifting the momentum of a battle in his team’s favor.
His ultimate, King’s Calling, summons a vast field that inflicts damage to those within it. It has the ability to prevent enemies inside the field from using mobility skills.
This is a game-changer, particularly when facing squishy and assassin heroes. When a team fight erupts on the other side of the map, stick close to an enemy and wait for a portal to open.
When you emerge on the other side, cast King’s Calling and use Spear of Glory to pull fleeing enemies back into the field.
To survive longer in team fights, build defensive items such as Antique Cuirass or Athena’s Shield once you have finished the Trinity build.
