How to play it

✓

Respect her dashes

Don't stand far up without Lightning Rush while her dashes are up: keep a stun ready for when her Q and E are available so you can punish her the moment she commits.

✓

Harass, no sustain

Slow push and harass her all lane: she has no sustain, so bait her cooldowns then keep poking; how low you get her decides the all-in.

✓

Don't 1v1 blindly

Don't 1v1 her unless she's below half HP: with Doran's Blade and Caulfield's she wins the even duel, so if she builds MR for the fight, rush Void Staff.

✕

Never 1v1 Riven unless she's below half HP: with Doran's Blade and Caulfield's she wins the even duel.
