How to Trade

  • Your best trading pattern is to bait Riven's abilities, then engage with Q3-W-auto-Q-auto when her cooldowns are down.
  • Use your E to reposition during trades and avoid her Q3 knockup, then commit fully with R if she's low enough.

Wave Control

  • Play defensively early and focus on last-hitting while avoiding Riven's Q combos, then look for aggressive plays post-6.
  • Maintain the wave in a neutral position to have space for your R engage without being too close to her tower.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your W shield on minion poke instead of saving it for Riven's actual trade attempts.
  • Avoid using E aggressively pre-6 when Riven can easily punish your return with her full combo and superior early game damage.
