Abilities

Edit

Runic Blade

Runic Blade

Innate: Riven gains a Charge for 6 seconds every time she uses an ability, stacking up to 3 times and refreshing on subsequent ability casts. Riven's basic attacks consume a Charge to deal 30% − 60% (based on level) AD bonus physical damage.

The bonus damage is affected by critical strike modifiers and applies  life steal at 100% effectiveness.

Broken Wings

Broken Wings
EFFECT RADIUS:	150 / 250 / 200 / 300
CAST TIME:	none
COOLDOWN:	13

Active: Riven can activate Broken Wings three times before the ability goes on cooldown, with a 0.3125-second static cooldown between casts. If Riven does not recast the ability within 4 seconds of the previous cast, the ability goes on cooldown.

Each of the three casts has Riven slash with her sword, dealing physical damage to all enemies struck, resetting her basic attack timer, and ordering her to basic attack the target of Broken Wings if there are any.

Physical Damage: 15 / 35 / 55 / 75 / 95 (+ 45 / 50 / 55 / 60 / 65% AD) Total Physical Damage: 45 / 105 / 165 / 225 / 285 (+ 135 / 150 / 165 / 180 / 195% AD)

First Cast: Riven dashes up to 225 units towards the target enemy or in the direction she is currently facing, affecting all enemies around the target area 100 units away. This cast cannot cross terrain.

Second Cast: Riven mimics the first cast's effects.

Third Cast: Riven mimics the first cast's effects in an expanded radius while also knocking back all affected enemies 75 units over 0.75 seconds. This cast can cross terrain.

• If Broken Wings was cast at a target, Riven will attempt to basic attack the target afterwards.
• After using this ability, Riven is able to use Valor sooner than basic attacks and other abilities.
• The Third Cast prevents Riven from using basic attacks and abilities for longer than the other 2 casts.

CAST TIME:	0.25
COOLDOWN:	11 / 10 / 9 / 8 / 7

Active: Riven mends her broken blade and empowers it for 15 seconds, gaining 20% AD  bonus attack damage,  75 bonus attack range, and increased range on Broken Wings and Ki Burst for the duration. After 0.5 seconds, she gains the ability to cast Wind Slash once for the duration.
