    Blade of the ExileR

    Broken WingsQ
    range.
  • Each
    Broken WingsQ
    resets Riven's auto attack.
  • Broken WingsQ
    's third cast can travel over walls.
  • When Riven uses
    ValorE
    , she can cast other spells and combo them, ignoring their animations.

Strengths

  • A well-positioned third
    Broken WingsQ
    and
    Blade of the ExileR
    's Wind Slash can singlehandedly win a teamfight.
  • Can animation cancel
    Broken WingsQ
    's with autos to speed up her damage output and increase it with
    Runic BladeP
    .
  • Excels with items that enhance her damage output, durability, and cooldown reduction.
  • Has a strong level 2/3 with
    Broken WingsQ
    and
    Ki BurstW

Weaknesses

  • Due to her aggressive playstyle, it can leave her exposed to being ganked and/or flanked.
  • Extremely high skill champion that requires a lot of well-timed ability casts, animation cancels, and outplays to perform well. One misplay can severely cost her.
  • Struggles against most crowd control.
