[2.3] Riven Guide - How to climb with RIVEN

Honestly, just go ham on this guy after he misses his cleaver, but don't overstay the fight because his [dr.mundo:3] can hurt you. Be sure to buy grievous wounds so level 5 won't be a big issue and you can still kill him.

He's quite an easy fight if you play like a boxer by bobbing and weaving. What I mean is, you can Valor his Seismic Shard and close the gap and use two of your Broken Wings whilst he uses his remaining skills and walk out. You will always come out on top. At level 5, his Unstoppable Force can be quite devastating (even using tank build), so be sure to be on the lookout for that.

Hella easy. If he uses his Alpha Strike , just Valor and stun him when he's doing using it. If he uses Meditate just stun him again. There's literally nothing he can do to kill you, unless the enemy ganks.

DON'T LET HIM HIT CREEPS! Bully the living day lights out of him when he's going for a last hit, use everything at your disposal and the priority here is to murder him. At level 5, he won't even be that big of a threat if you bully him correctly.

Before level 3, he's quite the threat, but afterwards, if he jumps on you, load out your full combo. Afterwards, he has nothing to retaliate against you and he'll always come out near death, or netting you a kill. Level 5 he's got nothing to gain the upper hand against you and just hunt for his head.

PLEASE don't get cocky against this guy. Sure, he doesn't have much going on with him other than running around, but if you get flipped and rooted, it can spell doom for you and you won't be able to use your dashing abilities to retaliate. Other than that, you should be fine.

Don't be scared to go ham after he uses his abilities, because his CD are quite long early game. He's not a big threat at all and he can't really retaliate if you're going all in. At most, he will whittle you down and try to all in on you if you allow him to.

People say he's quite hard, but I would place him at medium just because you are more mobile than him. If you can bait his Apprehend then you can get a trade. When he uses his Decimate , I would just use Broken Wings towards the inner circle and start doing my combo from there. You can actually get a first blood at level 2 if you buy Long Sword , but if you're not confident, buy Cloth Armor instead. Try your hardest to be level 5 first than him and all in him before he gets the chance. If he does get level 5 before you, call for a gank and eliminate him.

Respect her damage when she goes all in after she hits you with her Crescent Strike . Her Pale Cascade shield can make her pretty healthy for a trade. Be sure to dodge her 1st ability and go in straight after. Late game she can be quite a monster, but so can you.

The only thing to be wary of here is if you let her poke with Five Point Strike and AA. You can always negate the AA by Valor away. Also don't fight her in her shroud, back you and wait it out until it's over and go all in. Keep doing the rapid combo's and whittle down her hp. At level 5 she gets considerably strong, but you have to remember that she has to come to you. As long as your HP is healthy, it shouldn't be a problem.

If he were to go AP, he would be put as easy because you can just all in him, but since we're at baron lane, he's probably going to go tanky. His all in combo HURTS even if he is going tank, and especially with aftershock. If he ever misses his Justice Punch you can all in him, even if he has his taunt still. At level 5, it should be a breeze and just all in on him.

He's a weaker, but beefier Darius in my opinion. If the enemy minion is low, he would usually lure you in so he can silence you. A trick here is to Valor to the minion and Garen will instinctively hit you. From there, you can Ki Burst and AA and back off. Don't waste your attacks when he uses Courage as it negates a lot of damage.

Play around his Counter Strike because if he stuns you with it, you're gonna get a huge chunk of HP missing, and there's nothing much you can do about it. Play safe until you get level 3 and do short trades with him until you get a gank. Be sure to freeze the wave also as Jax players tend to get a bit reckless and impatient when they're ahead.

You won't meet a Lee Sin baron very often but make sure to not underestimate him. His mobility can make you waste your skills but if you do catch him out or if he wastes his Safeguard , then go all in. Prioritize in dodging his Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike and it should be relatively easy.

He's somewhat easy after level 3, but it's all about keeping an eye on his rage. You should engage when his rage is down, and you should run for the hills when it's full. He'll always try to dive you at level 5, and that can be a blessing and a curse if he does. Make sure you have flash ready if he dives you and play around your tower. Use all your abilities to cut the action time he can do when he's on ult.

I would say she's hard because of her innate sustain of her passive. Be sure to play unpredictably because every Fiora player will try to Riposte your cc. Be very careful at level 5 because her ult is made to turn fights around. More often than not, I'll just wait out her ult by flashing to safety. Late game she can be a major threat and you should just focus on other squishies instead of fighting her.

Possibly the most annoying match you'll ever get. He's ranged, he's got no mana, and he's got annoying CC. Be sure to be behind minions to dodge his Thundering Shuriken ability, and play super safe. Get your jungler to come and help you out. The only window of winning is to go super aggro at level 1 with your Broken Wings combo, and once you get your first blood, make sure your jungler punishes him also. 

Gragas is annoying, and surprisingly beefy. His all in combo hurts like a damn truck, and his poke actually packs a punch. Play super safe and make sure to not get hit by his Barrel Roll too much. You could get Maw of Malmortius first if you're really struggling against him. 

He's got sustain, he's got poke, and he's got true damage. He is your ultimate counter (in my opinion) and there's little to do to counter him. Just play super safe, freeze the lane, dodge his axes and pray for a gank. 

This guy is an absolute beast, but I'd say more manageable than fighting Olaf . Beware of his Ruthless Predator as it can vaporize your shield and decimate you with his combo. Tip here is to fight him when his fury is under 50% and play unpredictably. 

This is going to be a nightmare if you're not 100000% careful with what he does. If you think you want to go in, he'll just blind you and run away. If you don't do anything to him he'll just keep poking you until your screen is gray. Your main objective here is to survive. Also don't think when you have your ult things get different, a good teemo will make sure your health stays under 50% and you won't even be able to finish your full combo when that happens.

Vayne baron laners are the most annoying people in Wild Rifts existence. You should capitalize on her mistakes, which could be if she's a bit overextending from her minions, or you have a huge minion wave, then you can try all in her. Thing is, she'll just Condemn you away and she'll run to safety. If you're ballsy enough, you can go engage with [flash] after her Condemn is used up and it'll guarantee you a kill, only if you're healthy enough to pull it off.   

Some say Riven is the counter to Irelia , some say it's vice versa, and that's because it's ALL SKILL. The fight consists of "Who makes the mistake first" and whoever does, tends to get in a whole world of hurt. Be sure to engage when her passive isn't stacked up, and when it is, just back away. ALWAYS dodge her Bladesurge ability by side stepping or Broken Wings and never commit when she uses her Defiant Dance ability.

She HURTS a lot... Only if you allow her to. A risky tip is that if you're close to a wall and Camille uses her Hookshot ability, you can stun her and she can't jump to you. You also need to bait her passive, when she hits you, just back away and wait until it's down. She will try to hit you with her Tactical Sweep ability too, and when she does that, just jump her with your Broken Wings and start comboing. 

Actually somewhat tricky to fight this fella, but his gameplay is always the same. He'll poke you down with Comet Spear until half HP, then he'll all in you. If you were to go ham on him, he'll just Aegis Assault to negate the damage. The key here is to dodge his spear and let him push. Pantheons naturally just push the wave and he's quite easy to gank due to his lack of mobility. You gain a huge advantage after level 5, so go in for the kill.

Some Yasuo's can be frightening, and some Yasuo's can be a complete walk in the park. At level 1, he has an advantage because he can keep poking you with his Steel Tempest . After level 3 though, that's when you go in crazy and he can't even keep up with your damage. Don't get too cocky when you use your ultimate as he can Wind Wall and reduce your damage output.
