||
− | == Build usage == |
||
− | * {{cis|Riven}} entire kit benefits from bonus [[attack damage]]. Building heavy attack damage items will not only help maximize her damage, but also increase her survivability through {{ai|Valor|Riven}}. |
||
− | ** As such, you will probably at least want to get {{ii|The Bloodthirster}} or {{ii|Ravenous Hydra}}, which deals more damage overall (active included). |
||
− | * {{ci|Riven}} benefits heavily from [[cooldown reduction]] which will allow her to use all her moves more frequently. However, at later levels, {{ci|Riven}} is likely to have at least one of her abilities available for use even without [[cooldown reduction]] due to preferring to take her time to autoattack between casts and the cooldown of {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}} starting even if you delay the latter two casts of it, which make the stat less needed then. |
||
− | ** With this being said items such as {{ii|The Brutalizer}} and {{ii|Ionian Boots of Lucidity}} are good items for her. |
||
⚫ | |||
− | ** However, {{ci|Riven}} is very good at dealing damage while chasing as {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}} moves Riven forward both doing damage and giving her an opportunity to get in basic attacks without losing too much distance. The dash distance is unaffected by Riven's [[movement speed]], so building movement speed items are not as important on Riven as on most other melee champions. |
||
⚫ | ** A {{ii|Frozen Mallet}} is good for this, since you will be using auto attacks in between abilities to maximize |
||
⚫ | ** {{ii|Randuin's Omen}} works very well on {{ci|Riven}} as while she may have four ways to dash, they are all short-ranged and {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}} loses damage if used fairly far-away from the enemy, and she is still a melee champion that can be damaged by ranged champions without reprisal until she gets close enough. {{ai|Valor|Riven}} can move {{ci|Riven}} close enough to a target to slow them with {{ii|Randuin's Omen}} and then walk close enough to have casting {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}} move her into melee-range while damaging the target. |
||
− | * {{ii|Guardian Angel}} is an excellent one-stop defensive item, and its passive as well both armor and magic resistance can tide {{ci|Riven}} for a good while before she may require other defensive items. |
||
− | ** {{ii|Guardian Angel}} works well with {{ii|The Bloodthirster}}, as the former provides a main source of durability and the latter gives a main source of damage. |
||
− | * {{ii|Maw of Malmortius}} is sensible for {{ci|Riven}} if she is fearing magic damage - the attack damage is obviously useful on her while the shield and passive works well with {{ai|Valor|Riven}} and the life steal from {{ii|The Bloodthirster}} in helping you survive a bit longer in a close-fight. |

+ | ;Playing As {{ci|Riven}} |
||
− | * {{ci|Riven}} has a strong early game. Be careful when laning against her. If necessary, call your jungler to gank. |
||
+ | * Try to chain the key parts of your abilities to cover your vulnerabilities and capitalize on the opponent's mistakes, such as the downtime of their escapes. |
||
− | * {{ci|Riven}} excels at trading with her shield, crowd control, and fairly high damage output, dishing out her damage and getting away before you even put yours out. |
||
+ | * Riven's {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}} locks onto the champion your cursor hovers over at the time of cast. If you want to move past your opponent, make sure that your cursor is past your opponent as well. |
||
⚫ | * In lane, when Riven uses her abilities against your minions rather than yourself, she becomes vulnerable. She'll lack the damage and escape mechanisms that they provide while on cooldown, enabling you to briefly play aggressive. This is usually only advisable when she uses Broken Wings against minions, since it's her main damage and escape ability. Of course, the more abilities she has on cooldown, the better. Take advantage of these situations as much as possible before she gets any cooldown reduction items, as her abilities have high cooldowns at low ranks. |
||
+ | * Riven lacks a source of healing or strong defense and must compensate with burst combos. Lead into fights with {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}} and {{ai|Ki Burst|Riven}}, while using {{ai|Valor|Riven}} to escape and absorb counter-harass. |
||
− | * Building [[armor]] will mitigate most of {{ci|Riven|Riven's}} damage since she deals only physical damage. |
||
⚫ | * Riven is great for [[Twisted Treeline]]. Her strong early game and mobility with abilities help her to dominate top lane, as well as give her great ganking ability. She also performs very well in the [[Jungling|jungle]]. After netting a couple of kills early, you should be able to snowball pretty hard. |
||
⚫ | |||
+ | |||
⚫ | |||
+ | ;Playing Against {{ci|Riven}} |
||
⚫ | |||
+ | ** Riven has a great deal of mobility but she cannot move very far with any one skill. Rooting or silencing her during her combo will greatly reduce her effectiveness. |
||
+ | * All of Riven's damage is physical, prioritize {{sti|{{as|armor}}}} if an opposing Riven gets out of control. |
||
+ | * Riven excels at dueling multiple melee attackers at once, as she will be on an almost equal footing damage-wise. If pairing up against Riven, don't go in as double melee until she has expended her full combo. |

||
⚫ | ** Do not face {{ci|Riven}} as her {{ai|Wind Slash|Riven}} deals more damage the {{as|lower your health is}}. If you're still squishy and you know she has acquired her ultimate, do not linger around with {{as|below 25% health}} even to turret hug, as she can, and will, flank around to kill you with {{ai|Wind Slash|Riven}}. |

⚫ | |||
⚫ | * |
||
+ | |||
⚫ | |||
+ | ==Playstyle== |
||
+ | {{ci|Riven}} is an aggressive combo fighter that can weave into the fray to decimate and disrupt weak opponents. Her sustained damage and frequent uptime give her dangerous momentum and excellent mobility. |
||
+ | * Riven's abilities have a ton of combinations to chain together depending on the situation. Combined with her animation canceling, she becomes a fighter that can deliver a large burst of damage in very fast motions. Starting practice is the only surefire way to get better at using her kit. |
||
+ | |||
+ | === Ability Usage === |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | ** It is a good idea to learn how to autoattack cancel with {{ci|Riven}}. This can be done by using any of her abilities immediately as the damage is applied during an autoattack. Because {{cis|Riven}} autoattack animation is longer than the time it takes for the damage to actually register, doing this can cut off more than a second with a combo such as {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven|Q}} > {{ai|Runic Blade|Riven|AA}} > {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven|Q}} >{{ai|Runic Blade|Riven|AA}} > {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven|Q}} > {{ai|Runic Blade|Riven|AA}}. |
||
+ | ** You must apply a new attack command in between each {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}} to obtain the quickest damage possible. |
||
⚫ | *** The best way to go about this is by autoattacking, immediately pressing {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven|Q}} when the damage of the autoattack is dealt, while hovering over the target. As the animation of the {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven|Q}} is playing, order {{ci|Riven}} to move anywhere beside the target and immediately right click the target again. Both of these clicks should happen before the animation of {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven|Q}} is finished. This will allow both the animation of the {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven|Q}} and of the autoattack to be cancelled and will significantly increase your burst speed once mastered. |
||
⚫ | * Some combinations of abilities allow for better speed. For example, any cast of {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}} can be used while the animation of {{ai|Wind Slash|Riven}} is still running. The fastest way to burst down a squishy target, if you can do it without additional autoattacks, is {{ai|Valor|Riven|E}} > {{ai|Blade of the Exile|Riven|R}} > {{ii|Ravenous Hydra|Crescent}} > {{ai|Ki Burst|Riven|W}} > {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven|Q}} > {{ai|Wind Slash|Riven|R}} > {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven|Q}} > {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven|Q}}. Every ability in this combo will cancel the animation of the ability before it, except for the 2nd {{ai|Wind Slash|Riven|R}} and the 3rd {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven|Q}}. |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | * Using {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}} in conjunction with {{ai|Valor|Riven}} will give you small boosts of mobility as they move you forwards a bit. This is a very efficient way to move around the map, as your moves cost nothing. {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}}, however, allows you to click on the mini-map and use it to continue moving, while {{ai|Valor|Riven}} will cancel your move actions. |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | * Remember that {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}} and {{ai|Valor|Riven}} give you some mobility boosts for fleeing, but only the 3rd strike of {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}} can pass map terrain. You can, however, dash with all of them through terrain generated by abilities like {{ai|Crystallize|Anivia}}, {{ai|Cataclysm|Jarvan IV}}, or {{ai|Pillar of Ice|Trundle}}. |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
+ | * {{ai|Ki Burst|Riven}} can be used to cancel the animations of both {{cis|Riven}} autoattacks and {{iis|Ravenous Hydra}} {{nie|Crescent}} active, however {{ais|Ki Burst|Riven}} own animation cannot be cancelled. If you like playing risky though, you can use {{ai|Ki Burst|Riven}} during your {{ai|Valor|Riven}} animation, as it removes {{ais|Ki Burst|Riven}} animation. Because of the movement however (and that's the risky part), you may not use your stun in the area you would like. Make sure you don't waste the crowd control just because you wanted to spare out one animation. |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | * Don't use {{ai|Wind Slash|Riven}} right away if the target is no longer {{tip|stun|stunned}} or {{tip|airborne|knocked up}}, because you risk missing them if they {{si|Flash}} away or simply dodge it. As the range is quite long and shaped like a cone, it's easiest to hit when the enemy is not right next to you, so it may be wise to hold on to it until they try to escape. |
||
+ | |||
⚫ | |||
+ | Being a combo fighter with no resources to manage, the {{ri|Trait: Domination|Domination}} tree grants the most synergy. |
||
+ | *{{ri|Electrocute}} can easily proc from {{cis|Riven}} combos. |
||
+ | *{{ri|Sudden Impact}} allows Riven to hit squishy targets harder, and will always proc from {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}}. |
||
+ | *{{ri|Ravenous Hunter}} provides Riven with much needed sustain for her to survive skirmishes. |
||
+ | {{ri|Trait: Inspiration|Inspiration}} has some interesting choices: |
||
+ | *{{ri|Kleptomancy}} will reap a lot of benefit since Riven can proc it frequently, rewarding her playstyle with additional gold to help her snowball faster. |
||
+ | *Since Riven seeks frequent ability usage yet has no energy or mana limit, she benefits from the {{ri|Cosmic Insight}} more effectively than most other champions. |
||
+ | |||
+ | *{{ri|Conqueror}} from the {{ri|Trait: Precision|Precision}} tree might be a better choice with a build more focused at trading extensively, especially against tankier opponents. |
||
+ | |||
+ | == Items == |
||
+ | As a frequent fighter, {{ci|Riven}} benefits from items that grant {{sti|Attack Damage|link=true}}, {{sti|Health|link=true}}, {{sti|Cooldown Reduction|link=true}}, and {{sti|Lethality|link=true}}. |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | ** A {{ii|Frozen Mallet}} is good for this, since you will be using auto attacks in between abilities to maximize {{ai|Runic Blade|Riven}} (none of your abilities will otherwise proc the slow). It also gives you health, which is a must, since {{ci|Riven}} is squishy when {{tip|stun|stunned}}, {{tip|root|rooted}}, {{tip|blind|blinded}}, or otherwise prevented from auto attacking or using her {{ai|Valor|Riven|E}} or her {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven|Q}} to escape and/or shield. |
||
⚫ | ** {{ii|Randuin's Omen}} works very well on {{ci|Riven}} as while she may have four ways to dash, they are all short-ranged and {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}} loses damage if used fairly far-away from the enemy, and she is still a melee champion that can be damaged by ranged champions without reprisal until she gets close enough. {{ai|Valor|Riven}} can move {{ci|Riven}} close enough to a target to slow them with {{ii|Randuin's Omen}} and then walk close enough to have casting {{ai|Broken Wings|Riven}} move her into melee-range while damaging the target. |
||
+ | ** {{iis|Duskblade of Draktharr}} {{nie|Nightstaler}} passive also gives a very effective slow provided that {{ci|Riven}} utilizes a bush or Fog of War to charge the passive. In addition, {{ii|Duskblade of Draktharr}} improves [[cooldown reduction]], {{as|AD}} and lethality, allowing her to scale faster and deliver more damage to squishies and tanks alike. And, the out of combat movement speed rewards flanks/ganks onto the backline, but {{ci|Riven}} must be more careful about their positioning if they want to make full use of the movement speed. |
||
+ | * {{ci|Riven}} can make good use of the second life from {{ii|Guardian Angel}} since she can fight her way out of tough situations. |
||
+ | |||
+ | * {{ii|Maw of Malmortius}} is sensible for surviving a lot {{as|magic damage}} when {{ci|Riven}} needs to stay close. |
||
+ | * {{ii|Death's Dance}} not only gives as much {{as|attack damage}} as {{ii|The Bloodthirster}} but also [[cooldown reduction]], spell vamp, and burst mitigation. Moreover, {{cis|Riven}} {{ai|Valor|Riven|shield}} can absorb some of the bleed damage coming from {{iis|Death's Dance}} damage mitigation passive. |
||

⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
+ | |||
+ | == Counterpicks == |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
+ | * {{ci|Malphite}} is a very painful matchup for Riven, as he gains massive amounts of armor with {{ai|Brutal Strikes |Malphite|his passive}}, can continue to stack armor items, can slow Riven's attack speed with his {{ai|Ground Slam|Malphite}} which disrupts Riven's combo, and can lock her down with his ultimate {{ai|Unstoppable Force|Malphite}}. |
||
+ | * {{ci|Cho'Gath}} can also be an effective counter, as he can {{ai|Feral Scream|Cho'Gath|silence}} Riven and disrupt her combo with that. He is also one of the few champions capable of winning extended trades against Riven. While difficult to hit considering Riven's insane mobility, a {{ai|Rupture|Cho'Gath}} will ruin Riven's day, making her vulnerable to the rest of Cho's combo. He can also {{ai|Feast |Cho'Gath|stack health}}, making him unburstable and making him last a long time against Riven since she has no means of dealing damage based on Cho's max health. |

Strategy is highly subjective and may become outdated without any notice. Because of this, the League of Legends Wiki has decided to retire strategy pages and would recommend using other platforms (such as YouTube) to find guides. For more information visit this thread.
