Guide to Synergizing Elise and Riven

Tips for Playing as Elise with Riven

Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.

Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.

When in Spider Form, Spiderlings will attack the target that Elise uses Venomous Bite on.

Advice to Understand How Riven Will Play

Riven lacks a source of healing or strong defense and must compensate with burst combos. Lead into fights with Broken Wings and Ki Burst, while using Valor to escape and absorb counter-harass.

Riven's Broken Wings locks onto the champion your cursor is over at the time of cast. If you want to move past your opponent, make sure that your cursor is past your opponent as well.

Overall, Elise sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Riven. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This difference could demonstrate that Riven helps provide cover for her to deal more damage or that her presence also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Elise is played alongside Riven on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Riven.

Additionally, when Elise plays with Riven on the same team, she usually takes a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may mean that Riven does a decent job of covering Elise during team fights.

Is Elise better when played alongside Riven?

There is no top champion pairing for Elise that will no matter what be her best teammate. Yet, Riven is a superb teammate for Elise. By locking into the same team as Elise, she improves their win rate by 5.0% to 53.1%. This signals that there is a strong bond between Elise and Riven that allows them to perform stronger together than alone.

Riven has a lower difficulty than Elise. That means Elise players don't need to be very careful when finding Riven allies to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

When playing together, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by grouping Elise and Riven together, you will not be giving your other allies enough utility. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that helps cover this relative gap in their playstyle.

Regardless of your Riven ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
