Necessary base attacks.

Tips :
Riven's blade stretches out during the ultimateA huge steroid that increases Riven's range and damages.
An OP finisher!
The steroid of Lance Armstrong's dreams, it allows Riven to deal a lot of damages by increasing her AD bonus as well as the effect of all her spells.
Riven's ultimate slightly increases the range of her spells, allowing her to escape or catch up with her target if used at the right time.If the opponent has less than 25% HP Wind Slash will inflict maximum damage.
The spell possesses a short incantation time. Casting the spell in the tall grass near your opponent will prevent you from losing time and allow you to surprise them.
The shock wave from the Wind Slash has enough of a range to touch your target after his flash, so it is often useful to wait for your opponent to flash to take him down and kill two birds with one stone, especially because if your opponent is talented he can use his flash to avoid the shock wave, which has a casting time.
