Learn how to play with Riven with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Riven activates her ultimate (sword glows green), she gains increased attack range and damage for 15 seconds. Look to engage in fights during this window as her damage output and ability ranges are significantly enhanced.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Riven's Wind Slash (second cast of R) deals up to triple damage based on enemy missing health. Apply your damage first before she uses this ability to maximize its execution potential.
Team Fight Skirmish
When Riven uses her W, she stuns all nearby enemies for 0.75 seconds in a medium-sized area. Be ready to follow up immediately with your own damage or CC to capitalize on this brief window.
Team Fight Skirmish
Despite her mobility, Riven is extremely vulnerable when caught by crowd control as she can't use her dashes. If you have abilities that can cleanse CC or protect allies, prioritize using them to keep Riven mobile in teamfights.
Team Fight
Riven gains significant kill potential at level 6 with her ultimate. If you're jungling, consider ganking her lane shortly after she reaches this level to capitalize on her increased damage output.
Basic Lane Phase
Riven is an early game bully but struggles to recover if she falls behind. Establish vision around her lane to protect her from ganks when she plays aggressively, especially when her E dash is on cooldown.
Basic Lane Phase
In mid to late game, Riven often looks for flanks to access the enemy backline. Ward side entrances to objectives and be ready to follow up when she engages from an unexpected angle.
Team Fight Late Game
During the mid-game, Riven excels at split pushing and dueling. When she draws pressure to a side lane, use this opportunity to secure objectives on the opposite side of the map or apply pressure elsewhere.
Late Game
Riven's third Q cast knocks enemies back slightly and has a larger impact area. Position opposite to her during skirmishes so enemies are knocked toward you, creating a "sandwich" effect that limits their escape options.
