Guide to Synergizing Riven and Jhin

Tips for Playing as Riven with Jhin

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.

Advice to Understand How Jhin Will Play

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.

How to Play with Jhin as Riven in LoL

The Riven Jhin synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Jhin, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Riven sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jhin. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Jhin helps Riven perform worse in ranked League matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Riven plays on the same team as Jhin, she observes a small increase in her complete damage dealt. This change may signal that Jhin provides cover for her to deal more damage or that his participation also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Riven is played together with Jhin on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Jhin. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Jhin.

Additionally, when Riven plays with Jhin on the same side, she usually takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Jhin does a poor job of protecting Riven in team fights.

Is Riven better when played alongside Jhin?

There is no one best synergy for Riven that will no matter what be her top synergy. Yet, Jhin is a very typical ally for Riven. By being on the same side as Riven, he increases their win rate by 0.6% to 50.7%. This proves that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Riven and Jhin that allows them to perform stronger together than without each other.

Jhin has a lower difficulty than Riven. That means you don't need to be careful when enlisting Jhin comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Fighting on the same side, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by grouping Riven and Jhin together, you probably will not be providing your side very much magical damage output. We recommend you include other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Jhin ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
