Who Wins

  • You win pre-6 through superior range and poke with Q/auto trades while Lux provides E slow and Q root for follow-up.
  • Post-6 you maintain advantage as your R outranges Riven's engage and Lux R adds massive burst to finish kills.

Synergy & Trading

  • Auto-Q-auto combos when enemies step up for CS, using Lux's E slow to guarantee your Q hits both targets.
  • Follow up Lux Q roots immediately with W trap placement and headshot autos for maximum damage.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Push early waves to establish range advantage and force Riven to CS under tower where she's vulnerable to poke.
  • Maintain slow pushes to build minion advantages for trades, only hard shoving when you have vision to roam or recall.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't get baited into trading when Pyke has Q hook available or when Riven has full Q stacks ready.
  • Avoid face-checking bushes without vision as Pyke's invisibility from W can set up easy picks.
