Guide to Synergizing Mordekaiser and Riven

Tips for Playing as Mordekaiser with Riven

Hitting multiple champions with the same ability can help quickly activate Darkness Rise.

Offense is your defense. Keep fighting to build up larger Indestructible shields.

Use Realm of Death on a low health enemy to guarantee the kill and keep their stats for the rest of a teamfight.

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.
