Guide to Synergizing Rell and Riven

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.

By being on the same team as Rell, she drops their win rate by -0.2% to 49.1%. This shows that there is a weak bond between Rell and Riven that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Riven has a much greater difficulty compared to Rell. That means you must be cautious when enlisting Riven teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a much greater level of skill to play well with you.
