How to play it

✓

Dodge her stun

Always Q then E out to kite Riven and dodge her Ki Burst stun: get caught and her lethal combo deletes you.

✓

Scale to Riftmaker

Give up CS and farm to Riftmaker: reach it without falling behind and the matchup flips in your favor.

✓

Exhaust her combo

Burn Exhaust the moment she R-combos, and never fight without it up unless you're already ahead.

✕

Never push the wave or fight her early: she beats you hard level 1 and has lethal damage with Ignite.
