Aurelion Sol vs Riven

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize farming safely and scaling into a strong mid-late game threat against Riven's early aggression.
Maintain medium lane pressure to avoid giving Riven easy all-in windows while respecting her high early agency and burst potential.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Aurelion Sol must survive early skirmishes and reach late game teamfight impact.

Trading pattern

Trade using (E) to position stars, then (Q) for poke, avoiding close-range fights where Riven can chain her crowd control.
Punish Riven only after she spends (Q) dashes or (E) shield, as her mobility and defense are lower then.
Avoid trading when (W) stun or third (Q) knockup are available to prevent getting locked down in combos.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Riven has all basic cooldowns ready, especially (Q), (W), and (E), as she can chain burst trades and crowd control.
Respect Riven's level 6 all-in window when (R) is active and she can execute low-health targets.
Avoid extended trades or overexposure when Riven's mobility and shield are available, as she can quickly punish mistakes.

Early game

Focus on farming with (E) into (Q) poke to keep Riven at bay without overcommitting early.
Avoid extended trades before your full kit is available to prevent being punished by Riven's fast combos.
Use wave control to keep the lane in a state that limits Riven's mobility advantage and all-in opportunities.

Power spikes

Respect Riven's level 6 (R) spike and shield, which greatly increase her burst and execute potential; avoid all-ins without cooldown advantage.
Play toward stable farm and safe resets until you reach 75+ Stardust stacks, upgrading your (R) to increase your teamfight and chase pressure.
After completing Rylai's, pressure waves and trades more confidently as your damage and control improve, but still track Riven's key cooldowns.

Win conditions

Survive early aggression by avoiding Riven's cooldown windows and focus on farming with (E) into (Q) poke.
Reach your major power spikes (75+ Stardust stacks and Rylai's) to turn lane-neutral states into teamfight and chase pressure.
Use superior range and waveclear to maintain lane control, enabling safe roams or teamfight participation to leverage your scaling advantage.
