Guide to Countering Riven as Ashe

Tips for Playing as Ashe against Riven

Hawkshot reveals units in brush. If a team fight is occuring in the jungle it can give you a significant advantage.

Volley arrows are blocked by the first enemy they hit, so keep your distance to avoid having them all absorbed by enemy frontliners.

Try to fire Enchanted Crystal Arrow in the same direction enemies are moving, so it is more likely to hit.

Advice to Win Against Riven

All of Riven's damage is physical, prioritize high Armor if an opposing Riven gets out of control.

Riven has a great deal of mobility but she cannot move very far with any one skill. Rooting or silencing her during her combo will greatly reduce her effectiveness.

Riven excels at dueling multiple melee attackers at once, as she will be on an almost equal footing damage-wise. If pairing up against Riven, don't go in as double melee until she has expended her full combo.
