Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 due to Riven's superior mobility and burst damage while you're building up Determination stacks.
  • Post-6 you can win all-ins if you land R and have stacks built up, especially with your passive revive as insurance.

How to Trade

  • Look for W pulls into extended trades where you can stack Determination through Q autos and ability usage.
  • Use E to gap close or escape, saving the outer edge damage for when Riven tries to disengage with her mobility.

Wave Control

  • Allow Riven to push early and focus on farming safely under tower while building Determination stacks on minions.
  • Once you have R and some stacks, you can look for favorable trades when she overextends.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your W pull when Riven has multiple Q charges or E available, as she can easily escape your engage range.
  • Avoid fighting without Determination stacks built up, as your base damage is insufficient against Riven's burst potential.
