Riven the Exile

Once a swordmaster in the warhosts of Noxus, Riven is an expatriate in a land she previously tried to conquer. She rose through the ranks on the strength of her conviction and brutal efficiency, and was rewarded with a legendary runic blade and a warband of her own. However, on the Ionian front, Riven's faith in her homeland was tested and ultimately broken. Having severed all ties to the empire, she now seeks to find her place in a shattered world, even as rumors abound that Noxus itself has been reforged...

Riven Tips

MetaBot Tips
  • Riven is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
  • Riven has less damage per game than most other damage-based champions. Your value to the team may be better oriented towards crowd control or securing objectives.
  • Riven has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
  • Riven has more health regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
  • Riven has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.
  • Riven has a low base attack speed, which can make last hitting in the early game more challenging. It can also make percentage attack speed items scale less effectively than they do on other champions.

Riven Builds

Playing Riven

  • Riven's Broken Wings locks onto the champion your cursor is 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.
  • Riven lacks a source of healing or strong defense and must compensate with burst combos. Lead into fights with Broken Wings and Ki Burst, while using Valor to escape and absorb counter-harass.

Playing Against 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 high 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 ful
