At level one, go Q-autoattack-Q-autoattack-Q-autoattack. Make sure not to miss anything. Yesterday I outlaned a Riven because she constantly spent her first two Q's getting close to me, and she backed off without autoattacking.

At level 2, take W, and go for the kill. Just ability-autoattack all the time.

Max R>Q>W>E in normal situations. If, for some reason, you can't trade, go for W first. If you get poked without being able to getting close (very unlikely) go E first.

Mid lane I wouldn't recommend btw. I've tried it, but I don't like it.

Build:

Start with Fortitude Pot + Potions, Long Sword + Potions or Doran's Blade.

Go Brutalizer as first item, then Bloodthirster.

After, take Last Whisper and Guardian Angel. Order depending on what you feel is needed more.

Then finish Black Cleaver, and decide between Warmogs (defensive) Bloodthirster (offensive), or Ravenous Hydra (if you find yourself fighting in bruiser lines).

Boots should, if bought (this is not a must on Riven, she can do perfectly without boots, but if you're new, I'd still recommend it) always be Cooldown Reduction Boots. You shouldn't need Slow resistance and armor are useless, because of dashes and killing the AD carry before they can pump out a lot of damage, and tenacity boots are normally just not as good as more dashes and stuns.

For runes, you should have AD Marks and Quints by the way, Seals and Glyphs aren't that important. I currently run Armor and MR/lvl, but CDR might be better for the Glyphs.

ArmorPen is also an option for Marks, but early game AD is better, and you want to get a kill early and snowball from that.
