AI tips summary
Beta
Always "charge" your Q by using it just before its cooldown resets; practice ground-targeted Q to dodge enemy skills while weaving in auto-attacks. For kill setups, engage with Flash-Q-auto, saving E and 3rd Q for enemy escapes; in teamfights, flank to manage aggro and find optimal entry points. Riven is vulnerable up close; master her mobility and raw damage with builds like Ravenous Hydra, leading fights with precise execution.

Tip

Use your abilities to attack and fall back periodically to prevent Garen from activating his passive ability. Be careful when Garen reaches level 6 and has Ignite.
