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 Urgot

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't circle around him

    Don't move around him during a trade: Echoing Flames (passive) fires from the leg facing his target, and each leg has its own cooldown.

  2. Trade after his Disdain

    Take a trade when Disdain (E) is on cooldown: it's his only dash, the one that stuns the first champion hit and throws them behind him.

  3. Stay above 25% health under his ult

    If Fear Beyond Death (R) impales you, back off and stay above 25% of your max health until the effect ends: below that, he can drag you in and execute you.

  4. Back off during his Purge

    Back off when he activates Purge (W): he deals and absorbs a lot with his chain gun, but moves slower during the effect.
