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 Pantheon

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his Shield Vault

    Take a trade when Shield Vault (W) is on cooldown: it's his only spell to leap onto you and stun you, on a 13 to 9 second cooldown.

  2. Go around his Aegis

    During Aegis Assault (E), go around him or wait it out: he ignores damage from the front, except from towers.

  3. Back before you get too low

    Back before your health gets too low against him: below a health threshold, Comet Spear (Q) deals much more damage.

  4. Ping when he leaves lane

    Ping your team as soon as he disappears from lane: Grand Starfall (R) lands him from long range, after a short delay that gives you time to get away.

  5. Drag the game out

    If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Pantheon looks to get ahead early through his trades and roams.
