I'm Caister. I peaked Gold 4 so take everything with a grain of salt. I am a 400k mastery point Riven one trick so I atleast know a thing or two about Riven

I don't have good clip of riven so here's me stealing baron back in season 10 and as a m6 Scrub. Play Video

Legit the only reason I played Riven was because she had short hair. I also found out later she is one of the most fun characters to play in the game (if you dedicate the time to learn and actually not die 10 times in laning).

Pros and Cons

-High skill ceiling -Good outplay potential -Flashy -Jack of all trades -Good CC -Hot skins

-Hard to learn -Snowball reliant -People hate you now -90% of other champs can do the **** you do but better and with less effort -I am mashing buttons at this point. I deserve to be iron 4

WIP

A bit more info on the Itemization on riven.

Mythics:

Goredrinker Boring but most safe mythic choice

Duskblade of Draktharr is a meme item. It's very high risk high reward as it rewards you with 0 tankiness stats and relies on you to kill first. Only go if you're like 10/0 by 5 minutes or something

Trinity Force another meme. Sheen synergizes with her passive because its the literal same thing. Lacks sustain which is why riven doesn't go it. Attack speed is kinda useless on riven anyway

Legendaries

The buff on Death's Dance's passive made it one of if not the best bruiser item as of right now (**** you Hullbreaker). Build this after gore and plated steelcaps and any AD characters will do negative damage to you

The updated passive on maw made it a budget old immortal shieldbow. Build it because the healing is full of **** and op

Black Cleaver hasn't been treated well this patch. Although its a solid item on riven, its no longer the go to option right after your mythic.

For some reason riot only nerfed the ranged aspect of Hullbreaker's passive. If you want to be a meta***** then rush this item first to make the enemy laner hate himself then go wild with this item.

This item is so good for snowballing. The CDR change to it makes it an infinetly better item. The lethality gives you an extra oomph for killing carries. Its viable to go this before gore.

Since Goredrinker nerfs are going to hit soon, Riven's sustain is gonna get hit. Rav hydra is going to be viable on riven again. it gives CDR, AD, and sustain. I always liked this item and I'm happy its returning

Sterak's Gage is another good bruiser item with Riven. It gives the aditional needed stats that riven loves. The passive also gives Riven that sustain and outplay potential.

This is a budget Youmuu's Ghostblade. I do like to go this sometimes for fun and memes but it usually doesnt end well afterwards

This is an odd choice I'll admit, but so far its pretty good on my end. Spirit Visage combos really well with Valor, Goredrinker, Ravenous Hydra, Conqueror, and so many other things. Its really good into a fed AP carry

Self explainitory. If you're fed and carrying go this.

Level one cheese is a strat I like to do in order to catch the enemy off guard and to kill them. It works really well into immobile scalers like Nasus, Kayle, and Ryze.

You want to go Long sword Three pot and ignite in order to get maximum damage level 1.

Your passive damage, ignite, and third Q cc should be enough to kill them or make them flash

Thank you for reading my riven guide. I am gold ****ter so don't trust what I say fully.
