Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Riven's superior burst and mobility, but can punish her cooldowns with sustained damage.
- Post-6 you still struggle as her R amplifies her already strong trading while your R doesn't significantly improve 1v1 combat.
How to Trade
- Look for extended trades when her abilities are on cooldown, using Q-W cycling to sustain through her burst.
- Only engage when she wastes E aggressively or you can guarantee she can't disengage cleanly.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and freezing near your tower to force Riven to overextend for CS.
- Use your superior sustain to maintain health advantage and look for jungle assistance rather than forcing solo plays.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Riven through minion waves where she can use Q mobility to kite you indefinitely.
- Avoid trading when she has full combo available as you cannot match her burst damage output.
