Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Riven's superior range and burst combo potential in short windows.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R-Q-W combo, especially if you can land your ultimate when she's used her mobility cooldowns.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to Q onto her when she wastes abilities on minions, then W-AA and E away before she can retaliate with her full combo.
- Save E as an escape tool rather than engage unless you're certain of the kill.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and using Q on minions to sustain through her poke, only looking for trades when her abilities are on cooldown.
- After 6, look to set up slow pushes and all-in when the wave is in a favorable position.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your E aggressively early game as it's your only escape from her combo potential and has a long cooldown.
- Avoid fighting in open areas where she can easily land her full Q combo and chase you down with superior mobility.
