Playing as Riven

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Weave an auto between spells

    Weave an auto between each spell: Runic Blade (passive) charges your blade with each ability, and your autos spend those charges to hit harder.

  2. Save your third hit for CC

    Save the third hit of Broken Wings (Q) for CC: that leap gives nearby enemies a 0.75-second knock-up.

  3. Valor against their burst

    Cast Valor (E) just as the enemy unleashes their burst: the dash gives you a shield for 1.5 seconds, then chain into your combo.

  4. Finish with Wind Slash

    Save the Blade of the Exile (R) recast to finish: Wind Slash deals more damage to enemies missing health.

Playing against Jax

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: Relentless Assault (passive) increases his attack speed with each consecutive auto.

  2. Back off during Counter Strike

    During Counter Strike (E), back off instead of attacking: he dodges your autos, then stuns nearby enemies, dealing more damage per dodged auto.

  3. Trade after his E

    Trade right after Counter Strike (E): it's both his defense and his only stun, and it has a 17 to 9 second cooldown.

  4. Don't let him split push alone

    In the late game, don't leave his split push unanswered: send someone to hold his lane, or force an objective on the other side of the map.
