Abilities
Q Max > E Max > W Max / ALWAYS
I don't recommend W max second, only if you are smurfing and want max damage possible, it doesn't feel that good anyways.
Introduction
Hey there, I'm Molina! I'm a Riven Onetrick on the EUW server. I started playing Riven in Season 5 and she allowed me to reach Master Tier in Season 8 for the first time.
Now it's my time to show you everything it takes to pilot Riven, let's get into it.
Best Riven Skin : Broken Covenant (Because of the skin + chromas)
Riven Build
You should change your build depending on the match.
Shojin first is good into hard matchups like Renekton or champions like Garen / Pantheon.
Riven has a lot of viable options, you should always look to build Eclipse and Sundered Sky. Usually Eclipse first is the best but in some matchups isnt optimal. Sundered sky 2nd item or 3rd
When you should pick Riven?
Not everyone has time or wants to commit to onetricking a champion in League of Legends, so I will tell you the best scenarios to pick Riven:
Squishy teams: Riven has always been a good champion vs this kind of team comps and in Season 14 with Sundered Sky working on Riven passive it's really hard to survive a simple Riven combo.
Teams without Crowd Control: If no champion can stun Riven or lock her down, she's a great pick to delete enemy carrys.
Good matchups: Matchups that allow you to abuse Riven strong laning phase and generate a lead based from that.
I will include a tierlist with matchups to make it easier for you to understand:

Everything about Riven Runes
Really standard rune page. You can pick Tenacity instead of attack speed if you need it.
Nimbus Cloak feels really good on Riven with Ignite, allows for a lot of solokills in lane. Without going Ignite, don't go Nimbus Cloak (pick Gathering storm instead)
