Riven vs Fiora

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Riven must pressure Fiora early to deny her scaling and side-lane dueling strength.
Riven should leverage her higher early agency and medium lane pressure to avoid giving Fiora passive farming and vital access.

Trading pattern

Trade by chaining (Q), (W), and (E) for burst when (W) is down or baited.
Avoid trading after using all mobility and shield cooldowns to prevent retaliation.
Use (R) to convert chip damage into lethal burst once Fiora's key defensive cooldowns are spent.

Danger windows

Respect (W) parry cooldown; engaging when it's ready risks being stunned and punished.
Avoid all-ins when your (Q) and (E) are spent, as your mobility and shield are down.
Be cautious around Fiora's level 6 (R) window, which allows her to chase through vitals and sustain in duels.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to establish cooldown advantage by landing quick (Q)+(W) combos before Fiora can react.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 when (W) parry can punish your crowd control.
Keep the wave flexible to create space for short trades and prevent Fiora from safely proccing vitals.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to increase damage and execute threat; bait (W) before committing.
After your first haste/damage item, increase trade frequency to punish Fiora's cooldowns and contest wave control.
Respect Fiora's level 6 (R) spike that enables extended duels and healing; avoid isolated fights when she activates it.

Win conditions

Snowball early by punishing (W) cooldown with fast combos and disengage before she can retaliate.
Deny vital access and isolated duels by controlling wave state and forcing Fiora to trade on your terms.
Use level 6 (R) burst and cooldown sequencing to kill Fiora before she can scale into side-lane pressure.
