Now the damage can be nerfed but Riven is also Skirmisher. The problem there is that she got burst and stun at the same time and lots of AoE damage. But when you choose to chian CC as 2 knock ups with Nerante you will deal lower damage

Nerante AoE idea is that when he swing his sword he damages all enemies. How can you swing your sword and damage only 1 enemy?. The AoE is also nearly melee range so I don't think that should be a problem

Fiora is more of a single target Focus. Riven is Multitarget Focused. Nerante is also multi target focus. The idea is that he doesn't focus single target for assassination. He is the crazy dude that dashes around, swing his sword and cause Chaos.

The high energy cost idea is that you use energy restoration more often. If you don't you will run out of energy. Early game he got even higher costs as restriction of his power
