Riven

[Twin Cities]

Can you guys tell me a good build on her?
I always go for Brutalizer>Hydra>Black Cleaver>LW>Ninja Tabi(boots)>Frozen Mallet>Guardian Angel or Bunshees.

Is that a good build?
I do damage with it, but sometimes get outdamaged hard. Also can you guys give me some good tips on playstyle and build?

Thanks!

I usually start Hydra - Brute - LW - Youumuu's

[Cataclypse]

Hydra should be built first in some cases. Usually instead of cleaver I'd get ghostblade. Don't buy tabis unless they have 4-5 ADs. Get a randuins or banshee's; a frozen mallet is gold inefficient and isn't very useful on Riven. Also, GA may be needed before randuins/banshee's.

Dont build Black Cleaver so early.

Depends on the matchup, but usually brutalizer > hydra > youmuu's > cdr boots > lw > bt > defensive item (ga possibly).

[chunsah]

don't play her much but I mainly did

Tiamat>bruta, depending if it was a big that would finish hydra or go lw, then ghostblade>Bt...

[Dreamer.JR]

black cleaver should be a 4th - 6th item order

[Kprizzy]

i usually go for merc instead of ninja

HYDRA > BRUT > LW > BT > BLACK CLEAVER/GB > GA/BANSHEES/RANDUIN

[Lightseer]

I found Brutalizer not a good option for Riven early, simply because I suck in terms of CSing. Therefore, Tiamat into Ravenous is what I usually go as it helps in my farming, followed by BloodThirster, Last Whisper, Ionian/Merc boots. If I manage to get to a point in game where I require the last two items, it's usually Maw, followed by Randuins or even Black Cleaver. It's mostly up to preference, though.

I feel like anything besides Brutalizer -> Hydra -> Lucidity -> LW -> BT -> GA -> Youmuu is useless on her. You want to focus on AD, LS, CDR and Armor Pen and start snowballing from lvl 3.

[Twin Cities]

Ok so instead of Brutalizer, Imma try ghost blade and see how it goes and also switch out tabi for mercs. Will post results as soon as I finish the game.

Never rush Hydra, wanna have at least cd boots or a brut before hydra otherwise you're losing out on damage.

I've always wondered. Is Riven good as full tank?

Tryed it... Not at all. She's mobile but doesn't have a lot of dmg.
