Yes it has, I suggested Westrice's build to him ^_^
*Sorry Blakhart*

Whoa there, did the build just get a major revamp? It looks very similar the Westrice's build.

What Blakhart is implying is that he back it up with stacks of Riven's passive Runic Blade. Riven is not a right-click to win sort of character, she is an attack and cast DPS. This means that Riven does NOT need attack speed, but rather she requires the player to use a basic attacks each time after casting a spell. This is called staggering. With staggering, Riven does more damage because she is expending stacks of Runic Blade during her combo, therefore dealing more damage with her auto attacks with each ability cast.

So a typical example where he would back up his burst would be like this: Broken Wings -> Auto Attack -> Broken Wings -> Auto Attack -> Broken Wings -> Auto Attack. Riven is naturally a bursty off tank, where she does a large amount of damage in a short period of time. However, her burst isn't as significant as what you would normally see a burst character do, but Riven has the advantage of low cooldowns and small bursts, leading me to classify her as a "sustained burst" champion.

I hope my response has justified Blakhart's statement taken by you as only a misunderstanding. Being a Riven player, the explanation above is what he means by his statement. If you would wish to have Blakhart's statement changed, feel free to do so.

You say you back-up your burst with a lot of auto-attacks, yet your build doesn't feature any attack speed items whatsoever. That's a bit contradictory. With attack speeds under 1 you cannot be a successful auto-attacker. I find that for tanky-DPS' that need attack speed one of the most useful items is Wit's End cause it gives attack speed and MR. Lately, another good item is Ionic Spark. if you need armor and not MR or health best item becomes Madred's Bloodrazor...

I voted this guide up, as it helped me start into Riven. Made an account just to give it the thumbs up and to say thank you.

I find that zeal/phantom dancer is a better choice than brutalizer/youmuu's ghostblade. Otherwise, this is EXACTLY how I build Riven.

Very good guide. i won my very first game with riven thanks to this guide (and some good teamates of course) i found that starks fervor works very well on riven as well just so you know

This guide is very very awesome and im in love with Riven since i start follow this guide :)
Now riven is my main thx to the creator Blakhart for creating this awesome guide! You have my support Blakhart.

hahaha, almost all of your comments that i have read made me laugh or feel warm knowing i helped someone achieve sonething even i have yet to do.

Yes i am aware of the nerf but it's 2 in the morning at the time i sent this so i wont be doing many changes at this second...

but expect some overhauls nonetheless.

I have gone too long without playing Riven and I am returning to the fields of justice later today and will be showing this new "Sejuani" person... just who really is the bad-*** tanky dps queen.

Best of luck to you all, thank you for your continuing support, and may your pentakills be numerous.

Yes, there is a nerf, but for this build it doesn't change a lot of thing, except maybe for skill order.

" Base movement speed reduced to 320 from 325
Base health regen reduced to 10.4 per 5 seconds from 12
Health regen per level reduced to 0.9 per 5 seconds from 1
Broken Wings base damage increased to 30/55/80/105/130 from 30/50/70/90/110
Ki Burst base damage reduced to 50/80/110/140/170 from 50/90/130/170/210"

Reducing the base movement is not really a problem since she has her q and her e which can be spamming all the time.
About health regen, i used to play with it (building shield + 2 quint of hp regen, i was closed to 30hp regen per 5 at lvl 1), but now it's over. However, this build doesn't play with it, so no problem.
Now, there are some problems about the nerf of her w and the buff of her q. That means Ki burst no longer works as a dps skill, but much more as a control one. But the buff of broken wings is amazing if you loke closely : don't forget you hit 3 times with it, and it's an AoE. Just think about it... In my opinion, it's just a change of playstyle for those who used to play riven as an offtank/dps.

By the way, this is just my opinion at first sight of the incoming changes, maybe i'm totally wrong. And sorry if there are mistakes in my English, nooby Frenches are bad when they have to learn other languages.

Shes got nerfed :(
