Introduction

Riven is by far one of the most unique champions in game, with a full ad kit that includes an ad scaling shield. Her passive is basically a mock-version of sheen; whenever you use an ability, your next auto does bonus damage. The basic mechanics of auto resetting is good enough to make use of the passive 70% of the time.

Pro/Cons

Pros:Rewarding risk factors, high snowball potential, and very nice damgge
Cons:Decent mechanics needed, punishable for wasting abilities.

Runes

The introduction of "Summon Aery" is a game-changer for Riven. With decent mechanics, a full level 1 combo will leave opponents with 20 to 30% hp left.

Summoner Spells

Ignite is a secondary option spell.

In a standard match stick to Teleport and Flash.
