How to play it

✓

Block her Q3

Save your W for her third Q knockup: that's the cast to eat for consistency (R2 if you can predict it).

✓

Jump when Q is down

The moment her Q goes on cooldown, all-in with stacks ready: she can't stall your gap-close without it.

✓

Trade long

She wins short trades, so trade long and play around her shield: time your E+Q for the moment it wears off.

✕

Never take a short trade: Riven wins those; only commit to long trades around her shield.

Irelia vs Riven in Top lane is a skill matchup on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: her all-in starts with the Q3 knockup, block that cast with your W and the combo falls apart.
