for the EWQ combo, try pressing E twice before you hit W and Q. works every time, and is a lot easier than trying to memorize a specific timing.so you basically just go E-E-W-Q and boom there you go. you can also do E-E-AA-W-Q or E-E-F-AA-W-Q
Best Riven Combo guide I've seen. number 9 actually helped me a WHOLE LOT. I'm a gold 5 riven main and i always thought the engage combo was flash erq3 instead of erf q3. I didn't see any guides on this combo i kinda just picked it up on one of the box box montages. The combo wasn't going so well for me until I see this video, thanks a whole lot m8.
Exil do you actually Coach people? im currently plat 5 , and cant really get any higher with riven because i suck xD uhm also , do you know if dragonblade riven is coming back anytime soon or Ever really. if yes ,when would that be
Im from EUW server and made a low account to learn riven.So i just wanted to thank you cause your videos really help me a lot tolearn that pooogchamp. Riven in peace greetings :)
I've been on and off playing Riven since I was like level 15/20. And that was around preseason 6. Now I'm at around 175K mastery points and coming back to her once again. And I'm rusty as hell. Thank you for these great videos
Really appreciate this video. Im still struggling with the EWQ, ERQ (the starters) but I am getting comfortable getting the fast combo with the QAA. One day ill be good.
Great video best animation cancel video i've watched (for riven) and super helpful. I tried using flash with f for the combos and now i always use f just a little more convenient.
Its me that asked you how to do the E W Q combo on twitch ;D, wtf the E F 3RD Q R combo is the first combo ive learnt on riven haha i guess its cuz thats the most popular in montages ;p START STREAMING SOON PLEASE ! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
The number 8 combo can be improved alot by doing R1 - E-R2 (wait 0.25 sek) W-Q (so W before Q not the other way around). Its not only faster but way more fluent to follow up on with other combos. Can be combined with F to finish someone off from range: R1 - E-R2-F-W-Q. Try it out for yourself. The combo you present sometimes bug where the cast sequence wont be the one you intended making the slow and ineffecient.
Exil i found out that you can cancel ur w stunlock with clense and qss. when u time it perfectly than u can make so many funny Combos cause u can run right after w :DD just if you are interestedAnd ty ist the best guide for Animation cancels on UA-cam i generally think ur one of the best riven and lol guide youtuber.
So my mechanics with some other champs are ok I get a boat load of kills every so often. But when I played Riven, my game play was pretty sloppy. This was a great video and literally showed me everything I was doing wrong XD
I'm a long time riven main. But i'm really not afraid to improve and learn from other Riven Mains. I really liked your vidoes! Keep it up! Also if you noticed my name, i'm the one who always asks stupid questions on your stream. Anyways, Love you~
riven is the hardest champ for me before and i thought i will never play her because the combos are way too hard but when i watched your video "tutorial" and i tried it in real game idk how but i actually did good i kinda carry my team but still i'm bad with her need more practice thank you tho :D
consider the last one shot combo you did in the end, its more efficient i think to do W AA tiamat R Q, because by canceling your auto attack animation with tiamat you also deal the damage BEFORE your wind slash and your wind slash does missing health damage obviously so it makes sense to use it after tiamat
with very much training i figured out that you can add to the doublecast combo a third cast (tiamat). E-F-AA-H-W-R. takes alot of practise, but the reward of having a 4th dmg popup in a single moment is pretty strong.
Hey Exil great video! I noticed that I was not getting w locked with the Exil combo. Even on the very first try i was not getting stun locked whatsoever. I think if you finish the quick q right after the triple cast you do not get locked in. Also you 100% garunteed do not get stun locked if you R1 (E, R2, W, Q) (extra spice with tiamat and what not to finish). its the same thing but W'ing before Q'ing.
9th combo tip, e+r, then flash+q, don't treat it as one doublecast with a flash in the middle, treat it as e+r to activate r then flash+q, this way i never mess up... easier with flash on D
my favorite thing to do is have my windslash ready to go, then e r flash w q, then use my q's and autos after that if the squishy isn't dead. it's an extremely fast burst combo
+Exil Have you tried "The Shy" combo? E - R - F - W - AA - Hydra - R2 - Q1 note! everything is done within the E doublecast timer. If done correctly It's a 5 - hit 1-shot combo where the target will be dead "within" the stun duration, meaning they can't flash away from it if you land the stun. It can also be done without the flash, but hey, the element of surprise is always good;) I find it to be a very useful combo against low health targets if I am just somewhat fed. Coming from a challenger Riven main go try it out ^^
Another one I replicated from Adrian, if you don't use it already. A regular doublecast E - AA - Hydra - WQ1 but you use it as an all in combo adding the ultimate to it as well. Combo; E - R - AA - Hydra - WQ1 - AA - R2 Adding flash makes it somewhat difficult imo. Still immensely useful without :)
My opinion on the top 5. Lower number - more important. Difficulties : Begginer - 1 Stars Easy - 2 Stars Medium - 3 Stars Hard - 4 Stars 5. Reverse Windslash (3 Stars) 4. The Shy Combo (4 Stars) 3. E, R, Flash, Third Q (3 Stars) 2. Double Cast Combo : E, AA, WQ (1 Star) 1. The Fast Combo (2 Stars)
hola, no se si sabras leer español, quisiera agradecerte por el buen contenido, acabo de comprar a riven con la esperanza de aprender a jugar y subir de liga, gracias por el video . saludos desde rosario argentina :)
I'm currently a Fiora main but since she is now basically perma banned i'm thinking of picking up riven hopefully these combos can get me off to a good start
For number 10 you want to W -> R - > AA - > Tia this leaves them unable to flash the R which is very possible if you greed in that AA after the stun and can get you killed. I see a lot of Rivens do this and is not so much a problem in low elo but in Diamond and above people will definitely flash your R2 if you greed that AA after the stun.
For sure but she had no summs in that situation, just wanted to give a "real" example, I could have showed plenty of 1 shot combos on blue buff, but I thought it being a legit one shot in a real game gave it more credibility even if it's slightly greedy and not 100% optimal
Why does the last combo start with e>r>q>f and not e>r>f like the shy combo? i feel like the q is a waste of time, could you or someone else explain this?
Try out the (R)E-R2-F-AA-TIA-W-Q It looks like you use your windslash tiamat w and q at the same time. And it looks really cool if you time it correctly
E R F W Q is better than E R F Q W cuz you can continue with autos if you end the combo with Q and ending the combo with W is not smooth to continue with autos if you don't have tiamat
I agree E R F W Q is way better, but your explanation made no sense. I dont know why he would E R Q F W in the 1shot combo it makes no sense. Unless its bc you need the Q to cover more ground to get into range for F W. The way I look at it he just wasted Q1 dmg for no reason. He could just E R F W Q and get the dmg from all Q's.
Great guide! I have a question, however, not about the combos, but why you max W before E. I haven't played Riven in many years, and I remember back then people would max E before W.
most important to learning riven is knowing how much damage she does/when to go in and how to trade in lane. fast combo not priority. Just learn to normal combo understand the concept of cancel the animation of your auto with your q or w or h etc. In lane you can trade with full all-in using eqw-aa-q-aa-q-aa or if you want some free poking and disengage use this combo: q-w-aa then disengage with e-q, do the same in teamfights except add e-r after your e's then you can slowly learn the other combos in custom games this video probably wasn't made for beginners so yall tryna learn riven don't come here. 1M mastery pts riven main trust me on this.
Simple Riven Combos Lane Trade : (Q1 to gap close) AA-Q2-AA-W-Q3-E away All-In : (R1) E-AA-Q1-Q2-AA-W-Tiamat-Q3-AA-R2 Save ultimate during combo for the execute passive or use it early to catch runners.
First off I would like to say that your videos have helped me a lot but I am still confused about some of the terminology used like what is Tia? I have only been playing for about a month and I love the game. Thanks for taking the time.
This has eluded me for so long, and I could never understand what I was doing wrong.... on your combo against Vayne, I think you meant to say it ends with Tiamat Q. For example, Vayne combo is: E - R - Q - F - W - AA - R - Tia - Q. Doing the combo like that, causes me to do the tiamat and 2nd Q at the same time. let me know if I am correct.
kellen u forgot to mention that when you fast combo u have to click on the target. l On the red buff u moved forward when u did it. So when your fast comboing u need to click on the target
Best Riven animation cancel guide I've ever seen. lots of them I knew but the triple I need to try.
Exil true the other ones are too fast. The hardest one is 9 I always fuxk that one up lol
Exil Yo why did you remove the riven v Quinn video. ;/ I wanted to see damn vid.
is the fast combo the same or did someting change?
for the EWQ combo, try pressing E twice before you hit W and Q. works every time, and is a lot easier than trying to memorize a specific timing.so you basically just go E-E-W-Q and boom there you go. you can also do E-E-AA-W-Q or E-E-F-AA-W-Q
Thats a good tip!
Too late, I already got the timing into muscle memory...
+Dernbu same
That's the most exhausting bad habit i've seen and makes ult animation cancelling and comboing so much harder
Depending on situation of course, I tend to E-AA-W-Q because by the time the
AA is done you can double cast.
Best Riven Combo guide I've seen. number 9 actually helped me a WHOLE LOT. I'm a gold 5 riven main and i always thought the engage combo was flash erq3 instead of erf q3.

Really appreciate this video. Im still struggling with the EWQ, ERQ (the starters) but I am getting comfortable getting the fast combo with the QAA. One day ill be good.
very informative I love it, Adrian riven puts an AA before the double cast so as to look like E-AA-W+Q
yes you can fight an auto in there

9 is my favourite... engaging successfully with it feels really good.

you cant qss a selfstun as far as I know
i tried it out in a custom and it worked u just Need to time it perfect
ill look into that
So my mechanics with some other champs are ok I get a boat load of kills every so often. But when I played Riven, my game play was pretty sloppy. This was a great video and literally showed me everything I was doing wrong XD

Hey man, thanks for all your Riven videos, they're awesome!
thx exil. this has been more easier to practice too, with the practice tool
thanks for this great video. I enjoyed watching and learning at the same time

In 9. After used R. You can use also W for stun enemy and then next 3th Q.
And thanks for this video :) amazing.
This is exactly what i was looking for :D Thank you so much!
Hey Exil great video! I noticed that I was not getting w locked with the Exil combo. Even on the very first try i was not getting stun locked whatsoever. I think if you finish the quick q right after the triple cast you do not get locked in. Also you 100% garunteed do not get stun locked if you R1 (E, R2, W, Q) (extra spice with tiamat and what not to finish). its the same thing but W'ing before Q'ing.
I feel like you wait too long on the R2 when you dont have to you just have to wait on the Q. So just piano E R2 then finish everything else.
i love u thanks for the guide! best guide so far for riven
it is usefull . the best is fast combos. i had thought most damage is abilities until i watch this ^^ thansk very much
Me watching this while my game is loading is like doing the homework while the teacher is collecting it
omg same aha
Thanks the great guide it was very informative it helped me a lot cause im still a bit new to riven
Is there a combo for like and subscibe in one action?
xdxd
Frajmando ahahahhahah xD
The last combo should be E-R-F-Q-W, that way you get the q damage. They wont have time to flash away from it so dont worry.
A very usefull video thank you! especially with the sandbox now I practice alot!
Nice video, im a riven main too, you earned a new sub :D
I think that instead of going E > R > F > 3rd Q, I prefer putting a W in the weave so it goes E > R > F > W > 3rd Q
9th combo tip, e+r, then flash+q,
don't treat it as one doublecast with a flash in the middle, treat it as e+r to activate r then flash+q, this way i never mess up...
easier with flash on D
Should mention that getting an auto in with the doublecast (no 2 in list, e w q) is vital to the burst damage / thunderlords proc
great videos man, they've helped a lot. subbed good sir :D
my favorite thing to do is have my windslash ready to go, then e r flash w q, then use my q's and autos after that if the squishy isn't dead. it's an extremely fast burst combo
I never whatched this guides before th exil but i never knew this thinks i just watched a lot of good riv players play like this and i learned
stylianos constantinou rip English
Saves7theDay xD
riperronis
in the last combo, you could just e-r-q-f-w-aa-tia-r-q or. e-q-f-tia-w-aa-r-q. or just without the final q, so u have more chances of killing her
Etiquette is such a good song, great pick
If only there's an option for slow motion for the practice tool for fast combo, increasing the speed until it's normal speed.
+Exil Have you tried "The Shy" combo? E - R - F - W - AA - Hydra - R2 - Q1 note! everything is done within the E doublecast timer.
If done correctly It's a 5 - hit 1-shot combo where the target will be dead "within" the stun duration, meaning they can't flash away from it if you land the stun. It can also be done without the flash, but hey, the element of surprise is always good;)
I find it to be a very useful combo against low health targets if I am just somewhat fed. Coming from a challenger Riven main go try it out ^^
Yes I plan on making an entire video dedicated to it
Another one I replicated from Adrian, if you don't use it already. A regular doublecast E - AA - Hydra - WQ1 but you use it as an all in combo adding the ultimate to it as well. Combo; E - R - AA - Hydra - WQ1 - AA - R2
Adding flash makes it somewhat difficult imo. Still immensely useful without :)
there is another 1 shot combo u missed which is flash +r +e+wq double cast +aa+windslash tiamat if need
i won't try this but good combo
Nice video as always! :33 but for some reason I just can't do the riven animation cancel combos...
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Tapioka try harder ;)
Practice my son, practice.
Thank you! I will :'D
How long did it take you guys to do the combo successfully? If you don't mind em asking
OMG Thanks for this Exil. Great help
thank you @Exil it helped me alot 😊 Im just a beginner on Riven but Ill try this guide of yours to work on my skills. Btw I just sub.
Thanks your tutorial helped me a lot :)
Thanks alot for this video man it really helps :D

After the q-e-q you then can w-r-q (this is my personal favorite combo).
And man this is a great video.

thank you some much for this video, it really helped me out
How I learned how to riven:

this really help me bro thanks
Exil the Riven Guide mvp
Try out the (R)E-R2-F-AA-TIA-W-Q It looks like you use your windslash tiamat w and q at the same time. And it looks really cool if you time it correctly
Honestly surprised not to see the ERFWQ in here. One of my favorite and most stylish combos while putting out a shit ton of damage
Nice combo! i like it :D
E R F W Q is better than E R F Q W cuz you can continue with autos if you end the combo with Q and ending the combo with W is not smooth to continue with autos if you don't have tiamat

Great guide! I have a question, however, not about the combos, but why you max W before E. I haven't played Riven in many years, and I remember back then people would max E before W.
The hardest combo imo is e+r+flash then you can auto or skip the auto into hydra w q then aa q r then aa q
awsome! :D
and we want more!!!!!!! ^_^
awesome guide. thank you

First off I would like to say that your videos have helped me a lot but I am still confused about some of the terminology used like what is Tia? I have only been playing for about a month and I love the game. Thanks for taking the time.
or you can just do the shy combo: e r1 f w aa tia r q
i hope thats right
if it isnt pls tell me the right version
1 year but nah i prefer r e r f w q combo ;p
