Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Fiora's superior scaling and vital procs to outlast Riven in extended side-lane duels.
Manage spacing carefully to avoid Riven's burst combos and save (W) to parry her key crowd control.

Trading pattern

Danger windows

Be cautious when Riven has all cooldowns available, especially (W) stun and third (Q) knockup ready.
Avoid trading when your (W) is down as you lose your main tool to parry her crowd control.
Watch for Riven's level 6 all-in window when she can convert chip damage into lethal burst.

Early game

Play around Riven's cooldowns by avoiding trades immediately after she uses (Q) and (E).
Use accessible vitals for short trades when Riven's shield or stun is down.

After your first dueling item, pressure side lanes to punish Riven's lower durability and cooldown windows.
Respect Riven's level 6 (R) spike which increases her burst and execute potential; avoid extended trades without cooldown advantage.

Pressure side lanes after your first item to force isolated duels where Fiora excels.
