Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s levels 1-3 due to Riven's superior mobility and burst damage with Q combos.
- At level 6, you gain significant kill pressure with R if you can land W to trap her and prevent her escape.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to stack graves on minions, then use W to trap Riven when she engages, followed by E+Q+ghouls for extended damage.
- Avoid short trades where she can Q in, combo, and dash out before your ghouls can deal meaningful damage.
Wave Control
- Push waves early to build grave stacks and force Riven to farm under tower where she's vulnerable to ganks.
- After level 6, maintain slow pushes to keep 4 graves ready for all-ins with R, as your Maiden needs minions to be most effective.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W reactively after Riven has already engaged with her full combo, as she can simply Q out of the cage.
- Avoid fighting in open areas without minions present, as your damage relies heavily on ghouls and Maiden having targets to focus.
