Tried out your build in a simple game and it works wonders. Went 25/0/7. I will continue using this build with her, great job.

Why are you building Dr. Mundo??


As we all know, Dr. Mundo goes where he pleases. Even my Riven guide.

I'm generally against Atmog's builds, and even more so against Bloodthirster. But the way you describe things and set up your build, with a fairly good presentation to boot, is enough to earn an upvote from me. A lot of the trash you've gotten is undeserved, and I hope this helps to offset some of those.

i think both runes (no magic resistance) and skill sequence are not so good...

riven's most damage is given using first spell, a lot increased using the Brutalizer.
Valor is then far more important than Ki Burst for it gives you more chances to survive giving you a better shield more often.

the build is then not so "ugly"... you have builded her with a common build for fighters or off tanks.. you won't be so important for your team unless game goes on over 45 minutes...



The first few times I played Riven I was leveling Broken Wings first because of what the champ spotlight showcased. Phreak said that the bursti-est (a word?) way to play Riven was her Broken Wings. Well, I don't agree. I'm attempting to maintain a steady damage output from Runic Blade. Meaning I want the best cooldowns on on my abilities as I can get. I chose to level Ki Burst over Valor because early game I don't have enough bonus attack damage to make that sheild worthwhile, so I'd like the stun. My only use for Broken Wings is mowing down minions, closing gaps, and proccing Runic Blade.

Also, I believe I stated in the Runes section that taking the magic resist glyphs are perfectly fine alternatives to the cooldown reduction. I sometimes feel people look at the top part of the guide, see the build, and vote. I'd like to think that you're reading what I put into the explanations :(

This is a solid guide from what I can see, explanation on how to do it and WHY you do it that way, I also like the how and why on the skill explanation, should be pretty useful for anyone trying to learn how to use Riven.

I'd like to recommend Quicksilver Sash mention somewhere in the guide. It gives Riven a good way to get out of unpleasant stuns and the such which is very important since she needs to be up and close to do anything with her skills minus her ult.


Good thinking, I've learned recently that a lot of people don't even know that item exists. Will update it right now.
