Guide to Synergizing Riven and Kha'Zix

Tips for Playing as Riven with Kha'Zix

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.

Enemies are considered isolated if they have no allies within a short distance. The damage of Taste Their Fear is massively increased against these targets.

Unseen Threat activates when Kha'Zix cannot be seen by the enemy team. Reactivate by using brush or Void Assault. Don't forget to apply Unseen Threat by autoattacking enemy champions.

Kha'Zix has a great deal of freedom to choose where and when to fight. Pick your battles carefully to succeed.

Conversely, by bringing Riven and Kha'Zix together, you may not be giving your other teammates very much magical damage output. Plan to have other champs on your team that fills this relative disparity in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Kha'Zix ally, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
