Guide to Synergizing Sett 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.

Overall, Sett sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Riven. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This may indicate that Riven doesn't help cover for him to deal more damage or that her presence on the team also helps extend the match's duration.

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

Is Sett better when played alongside Riven?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Sett that will always be his #1 ally. Yet, Riven is a below average teammate for Sett. By being on the same side as Sett, she lowers their win rate by -1.5% to 49.0%. This shows that there is a negative strategic relationship between Sett and Riven that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Riven has a much greater difficulty compared to Sett. That means Sett players should be cautious when finding Riven teammates to play with, as they will require a much greater level of skill to play well with you.

When playing alongside, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by pairing Sett and Riven together, you probably will not be granting your other allies a great deal of magical damage output. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that nullifies this relative gap in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Riven ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
