Guide to Synergizing Riven and Draven

Tips for Playing as Riven with Draven

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.

Advice to Understand How Draven Will Play

If Draven doesn't move, Spinning Axe will fall near his present location. It will fall directly on him, or just to the right or left.

If Draven does move after attacking, Spinning Axe will lead him in the direction of his movement. Use this to control where the Spinning Axe will go.

Is Riven better when played alongside Draven?

There is no top synergy for Riven that will always be her best synergy. Yet, Draven is a not very good companion for Riven. By playing on the same team as Riven, he decreases their win rate by -2.0% to 48.1%. This signals that there is a negative strategic relationship between Riven and Draven that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Draven has a lower difficulty than Riven. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Draven teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Fighting alongside, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by bringing Riven and Draven together, you may not be giving your other allies very much AP. Make sure to pick other champions on your team that nullifies this disparity in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Draven ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
