Does Trinity Force Synergize well with Riven?

Packun Flower··1 votes·1,098 views

I am trying to improve my Riven gameplay and one item I have considered in my build is item 3078 , mainly for the passive. But I don;t really see alot of Rivens build it. Does it not synergize well with her kit? i would think it would since most rives build pure damage.

Thoughts?

Well, the mana goes to waste, but aside from that it doesn't look terrible. Maybe if you combined it with that new base-AD buffing item?

She does not have high base AD therefore no. You are better off with a black cleaver for the much needed cdr

I play riven a lot. Sometimes I build it when we're wrecking the enemy team and I have full build. I sell boots and get trinity. I don't usually consider it as a "core item" but something that I find fun to play with as a late game item as riven. Similar to Zephyr.

I wouldn't get it as a serious item.

Only when you want to have fun.

crit, attack speed, mana and AP(obviously) are not that great on her. So zeal and sheen other than the proc are a waste on her. That leaves phage which you are better off building into a black cleaver. overall it's not that great

Her Base AD is pretty trashy. Riot specifically made Riven's base AD low so she couldn't use TF very well. However, with Sterak's Gage, trinity MIGHT be feasible on her, but her base AD is still low enough that even with Sterak's, TF isn't worth it on Riven.

The kit makes it an appealing buy, but she can't really make use of the passive well because of her base stats.

Not really, a lot of the stats are wasted.

item 3057 only spellblade is useful, otherwise you're wasting gold on AP and mana. Riven's passive is fine. You want to do more damage with autoattacks with items better for you? Build AD.

item 3044 All good stats and a good passive, but it's better built into cleaver for armor reduction.

item 3086 Very "meh" stats for Riven. 10% crit (on TF) isn't very useful on its own, and while Riven enjoys trading I'm not sure 30% attack speed (on TF) is worth this item. Hell, I'd say that BORK would be a better AS item on Riven. Movement speed is nice, tho, but I'm not sure Riven really needs that built on her.
