Riven build tip

HermitZeref·Jan 5, 2018·1 votes·585 views

So i'm a noob player, trying to expand my knowledge. Can someone tell me what is wrong with this build? To someone like me this makes sense, attack speed and crit. But someone who knows more than me could say that this is a terrible build. runes: http://prntscr.com/hwiycn build: http://prntscr.com/hwiypo (black cleaver being first, replace one of the Phantoms with Ionian Boots of Lucidity ) Thanks

Attack speed is not very good. Riven uses her skills to kill people not normal autos. AS is fine, but you really want to be using your skills optimally while weaving autos, not just standing there attacking.

Is the crit really adding anything besides damage that Riven already has. And do Riven skills crit? Many skills don't crit.

I am sure the build works. You don't have to follow everyone.

People play lethality Riven, Bruiser Riven, etc. If you can make it work for you, go for it. Although 2xPD looks ugly.

I main her, here are my build options Option 1: Lethality item 3142 --> item 3812 --> item 3074 --> item 3071 --> item 3026 Good option early against an enemy top laner who is squishy and you can kill over and over

Option 2: Bruiser item 3812 --> item 3071 --> item 3074 --> and then tank items depending on enemy team

Option 3: Beefy item 3071 --> item 3748 --> item 3812 --> Tank items

Option 2 is the one I use the most, as option 1 makes you incredibly squishy, while option 3 is only good late game

I take electrocute on options 1 and 2 most of the time, and aftershock for option 3

I commonly start item 1054 , except for option 1 where I start item 1036

item 3139 Is a very good choice, but only against high cc compositions, but if I need MR I usually go item 3156

Get boots either first or second, depending on when you need them, item 3047 and item 3111 are my most commonly built boots, but item 3158 are build when I need to cap out on CDR

That's basically it to building Riven, but none of this will work well if you do not have the mechanics, but practice makes perfect

item 1001 item 3142 item 3071 item 3147 item 3035 item 3026 and then choices of item 3156 item 3812 item 3074 item 3814 item 3139

But most of the time you get item 3156 only if your opponent is AP and so Is the jungler or their team is 3+/5 AP item 3139 if only thing that is screwing you over is CC item 3814 same as Scimitar, maybe get both

You can Drop Youmuus or Duskblade if needed for either of the other ones later on, but usually not worth to sell youmuus.
