Riven Wild Rift Best Build Guide

Bruiser build for extended combos: Riven does not win only through a fast animation, but through her ability to keep a trade going inside a zone where her cooldowns come back better than the enemy's. The build must therefore protect access, repeat rotations, and enough durability that the first engage truly opens the second.
