Introduction
This is my first guide I decided to make.i picked Riven cause she's one of my favorite champs.She has tons of damage and brings a good amount of cc to a team,she can stick on the important targets in fights being very hard to peel off.
Masteries
I chose these masterys to get high early game damage and that extra health and armor from the 9 points in defense.
Runes
I just use a basic AD rune page with everything you really need for early and the MR comes in handy late game.
Summoner Spells

![summoners/flash.png [summoners/flash.png]](guide/summoners/flash.png)
Explanation:
I choose flash cause its just about the best summoner spell in the game.
ignite comes in handy for when you burst them down and then cast ignite to finish off with your ultimate.
Skills
Passive: Runic BladeExplanation:
Her passive is a really strong for harassing and works really well with your Q.
Q: Broken WingsExplanation:
This is her most powerful ability in my opinion,it provides high mobility and HUGE damage,this is why i max it first.
W: Ki BurstExplanation:
This ability works well with your passive and your Q,landing your 3 Q's then use this ability to get off your passive stacks.
E: ValorExplanation:
This ability saves your ass ALOT and provides great mobility as well,especially against overtime damage targets such as darius,teemo and talon.
R: Blade of the ExileExplanation:
Rivens ultimate Blade of the Exile is my favorite ultimate in the game,not only does it make her sword look awsome but it gives an amazing self-buff and a great active which can kill a runner or maybe steal objectives like dragon and baron.
Item Builds
what you want as riven is to go in the middle of the fight and make it hell for the enemys,this is why you want high damage and great defence.This build gives you good MR,ALOT of AD and great armor plus the guardian angel.
Early Game
Early game just play passive if your against someone with better level 1 then you,just passively last hit until level 3 or 4 and then you should win most trades.When you get your ultimate its time to either kill them or get them low to where they have to recall and then you can get ahead then most likely kill them next time.
Mid Game
This is where i feel riven is strongest,whether its roaming or still laning your items and abilitys should domitate anyone who's not super far ahead of you.
Late Game
Late game riven falls off a bit but she still if by far not worthless,your goal is to get in the fights and kill the important people like the AP or AD carry's.Also if you can riven is great for picking off people out of position.
Team Fights
Teamfights there are 2 options you have,you can either go in and kill important people or you can protect the important players on your team.Riven is great for this job cause she can do ALOT of damage and stun then knock them back.This is why I love riven.

It doesn't do anything, considering your shield scales with 1.0 AD it already gives you innate tankiness.
