Guide to Synergizing Jinx and Riven

Tips for Playing as Jinx with Riven

Rockets aren't always the best choice! Jinx's minigun is incredibly powerful when fully ramped up. Switch to it whenever an enemy champion gets too close.

Jinx's rockets deal full damage to all enemies in the explosion. Use them on minions in lane to hit nearby enemy champions without drawing minion aggro.

When a fight starts try to stay on the edge of fray by poking with rockets and Zap!. Do not run in and unload with the minigun until you feel it is safe.

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.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Riven.

There is no one best companion for Jinx that will no matter what be her top teammate. However, overall, Riven is a very typical companion for Jinx. By being on the same team as Jinx, she improves their win rate by 0.5% to 50.3%. This signals that there is a weak bond between Jinx and Riven that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than alone.

Riven has a greater difficulty than Jinx. That means you should be careful when lining up Riven allies to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, Jinx players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by grouping Jinx and Riven together, you probably will not be granting your side much AP. Plan to bring other champs on your team that helps cover this relative hole in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Riven ally, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
