Guide to Countering Riven as Yone

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.
