Seriously an amazing guide. Well made, and you're clearly very knowledgeable on the champ. I loved the item breakdowns and in what situations and matchups they can all be used.

I do think cash back, biscuit delivery, and jack of all trades are viable rune slot options for the inspiration tree. They're all worth at least looking into.
Cash back accelerates the great 3 item spikes like the unending, fibul, spirit or the roa, navori, hullbreaker.
Biscuit delivery provides 3 free potions in lane and provides permanent max hp with a total gold value of 240g, not including the active healing. The active healing also stacks with health potions to provide a surprising amount of healing that can be used in combat to heal up. It can often let you get one more W proc which completely changes the fight, and it really lets you juice last stand because the biscuits heal based on % missing hp.
Jack of all trades is typically standard in the roa, navori build, as you are cranking out unique stats and can easily reach max stacks while building your third item. (While it's easier to reach max stacks building a defensive item like spirit visage over hullbreaker, it is still possible to reach before finishing the item)

I'm actually going to put as a rune choice when I update the guide for season 15. I think biscuits aren't all that good on him but they can work and they have their uses. Jack is completely bait in my opinion. It gives you damage and haste sure, but you can take a rune like and just get the 10 haste at level 9. Sure, you will lose out on some damage, but you get the full haste much, MUCH quicker and you don't need to have 10 unique stats within your items, so you either buy like 4 different components from completely different items to possibly get the full 10 haste and 25 adaptive force. Navori and ROA give you a total of 6 haste and the first damage bonus, but then you gotta find 4 more stats and it's really late by that point. It's technically not horrible, I just think it's outvalued by other runes and you don't need to hyper gimmick your build to make it work. I'm also going to place and as other items you can take, it's just that it will all come out when season 15 hits. I didn't add them before because I was doing more experimenting and whenever I discover something new that I like playing with I add it. I'm also gonna add tier 2 and tier 3 boots to the item explanation chapter for each guide.
I'm glad u found the guide useful!

Wonderful guide, as a Riven main of 14 years I just picked up Voli again and this helps. I appreciate all the effort you put in, it really shows.

I'm still testing out a ton of the new items and build paths. I would like to update everything at once, but I suppose for the time being I can just slowly update each part individually instead of one big update.

what do you think about locket on voli? im taking it with ingenious hunter in second runepage with pta and trinity for burst build or grasp with gauntlet for tank build. sudden impact for burst and cheap shot for tank build. im also taking muramana third in burst build so my damage is even better. main reason i like locket is very cheap price for decent amount of stats and solid active. sorry for my english btw, im learning :)

I don't like it that much, unless you wish to play a peel style, but Knight's Vow could be better just for that, I might include it into the 14.2 update, I need to test it Knight's Vow more, but I really don't like the feel of locket. Also going ingenious hunter is best when taking long cooldown items, such as Sterak's Gage, or doing Heartsteel procs more often. When you have the very low sheen procs you get barely any value out of it, and it's not low enough to where you can instantly proc 2 sheen hits. If you want a shield for yourself with better stats, just take winter's approach and have it up more often with ingenous.
