Guide to Synergizing Jhin and Riven

Tips for Playing as Jhin with Riven

Your ultimate deals significantly less damage to enemies with full health. Look to pick off weakened targets as they run away.

Deadly Flourish has incredible range. When approaching a fight be sure to look ahead for enemies that could be rooted.

You can still cast your spells while reloading. Use them to fill the down time.

Advice to Understand How Riven Will Play

Riven lacks a source of healing or strong defense and must compensate with burst combos. Lead into fights with Broken Wings and Ki Burst, while using Valor to escape and absorb counter-harass.

Riven's Broken Wings locks onto the champion your cursor is over at the time of cast. If you want to move past your opponent, make sure that your cursor is past your opponent as well.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Riven.
