Who Wins

  • Your power spike at 6 is more significant than hers in this matchup.

How to Trade

  • Use W defensively to avoid her Q combo damage, then look for trades when her abilities are on cooldown with Q-E-AA.
  • Your goal is to survive early and look for all-ins post-6 when your R can lock her down through her mobility.

Wave Control

  • Allow Riven to push early and farm safely with Q, focusing on not falling too far behind in CS rather than contesting every minion.
  • Post-6, look to set up freezes and use your R engage threat to control wave positioning.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste W clone aggressively in early levels as it's your main survival tool against her burst combos.
  • Avoid fighting in minion waves where her Q can hit both you and minions, giving her faster combo resets.
