Shake off lockdown and punch through stacked armor

  • Trinity Force
  • Death's Dance
  • Serylda's Grudge
  • Serpent's Fang
  • Mercurial Scimitar
  • Immortal Treads

When the enemy has heavy crowd control and frontliners stacking Armor

The build totals +200 Attack Damage and +60 Ability Haste. Mercurial Scimitar's active removes every crowd control debuff on you and grants 0.25s of immunity to it, though it cannot be used while airborne or knocked back. Serylda's Grudge adds 33% AR Pen on top of Serpent's Fang's +15 Armor Penetration, so the more Armor a target stacks, the more of your damage gets through. Death's Dance supplies +40 Armor and Mercurial Scimitar +40 Magic Resistance to keep you alive once you commit.

Riven Strengths

  • High burst and mobility once animation cancels are mastered
  • Manaless, and keeps skills flowing with cooldown reduction

Riven Weaknesses

  • ×High mechanical demands; needs practice to pay off
  • ×Weak to hard CC; melts once locked down

Early Game

Trades built on the Skill 1 auto-attack cancel (the fast combo) and your passive are very strong. You have kill pressure from level 1. At the level 3 and level 5 power spikes, go for solo kills.

Mid Game

Use your mobility to shove side lanes, then enter the enemy jungle to pick off isolated targets. In skirmishes, cycle the Skill 3 shield and your short CC to deal full damage while limiting what you take.

Late Game

Your teamfight presence depends heavily on Flash. With Flash up, play as an assassin who goes for the enemy carry. Without it, play as a bruiser who protects your team on the frontline.

Teamfights

Activate Ult and surprise the enemy from out of vision or over a wall. Go in with Flash into the third cast of Skill 1, or with Skill 2. Stop them with the AoE stun and knock-up, then collect kills with Ult's Wind Slash.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Spamming Skill 1 without auto-attacks

Do not press Skill 1 three times in a row without weaving in auto-attacks. Riven's passive adds damage to the auto-attack after each skill. The skill into auto into skill cancel combo is essential, and you will not win trades without it. With Ult active at level 5, that burst grows even larger.

Riven Combos

Fast Q

Cancel the animation of Skill 1 with a move command to squeeze in autos.

Riven Patch History

Riven
RivenPatch 7.1d
Adjust
Runic Blade Bonus damage ratio: 32%~60% → 22%~50% Damage to jungle monsters: 50% → 65% Bonus damage against champions drops by 10%, so Riven's trading power in lane and in skirmishes clearly falls. At the same time her jungle modifier rises from 50% to 65%, which speeds up her clear. Jungle Riven is pushed toward farming first and picking her fights carefully. In the baron lane she only gets the downside, so reading when to trade and when to back off matters more.
