After the 13.6 version update, the changes in the top lane are extremely weak, and tank heroes are still more powerful. However, veteran top laner Riven has become a T1 hero with her steady improvement in winning rate. Riven received an enhancement two versions ago, which mainly increased early damage and tower pushing speed. As many heavy warriors and related equipment were weakened and the top lane was completely reshuffled, Riven's armor-piercing style was gradually developed and became mainstream.
Many warrior equipment now provide a lot of skill haste and lose the ability to regenerate. Riven, who does not eat blood-sucking, has a strong single-line combat capability, and returned to T1 after several versions.

The main system is a very common warrior rune, and the secondary system has two methods, which are universal witchcraft systems. The Aura Cloak makes it easier to chase down opponents, and the skill haste provided by Transcendence is an attribute that Riven needs very much. If you are facing high-explosion heroes such as Crocodile and Pantheon, change the secondary system to Bone Plating and Determination of the Resolve system.
Long Sword 3 goes out red, and blood exchanges can be made more frequently in the early stage. Tiamat was directly upgraded to Greedy Hydra. Now Riven is a hero who always carries it alone. With Greedy Hydra, he can go wherever he goes. Next, make Star Eclipse. Nowadays, warrior heroes can't draw blood without thirsting for blood. Star Eclipse is a perfect replacement. The third piece is Black Cut, which continues to enhance the armor-breaking effect, and provides a huge amount of skill haste when paired with runes.
The remaining equipment can be resurrected armor, serious injury saw, dance of death, ice knife and demon-drinking knife, which can be selected according to the situation. Generally speaking, the dance of death is more convenient for group play. When it comes to ice skates, it's about pursuing the ultimate damage.
During the laning phase, Q3-EAWAE blood consumption is the most versatile combo. 3 red + ignite itself gives Riven a strong killing ability. Because the damage bonus given passively now continues to increase at each level, instead of starting to increase after level 6, there will be at least 30 more points of damage in the early stage. At level 2-3, Riven directly exchanges blood for igniting to trigger the aura cloak, and then chases A. You can block the line of soldiers a little. At level 6, as long as the opponent doesn't go home, you can directly ALL IN. A simple combo like RQAWA -R- Ignite can kill most heroes. It doesn't matter even if you don't get a kill during the laning phase. The armor-piercing Riven becomes more and more powerful when it comes to the single lane. After Tiamat, she leads the lane and steals the wild, and continues to develop.
In the mid-term, there is constant single belt. The super burst provided by Star Eclipse means that you can squat down to the crispy skin in seconds, which is far more violent than traditional warrior equipment. And now Riven is also very fast at pushing towers, and she can do 200+ damage to defensive towers with one passive strike. The CD of the four-piece set of skills is exaggeratedly short. The ultimate move takes less than half a minute. Both W and E are 4 seconds. It is easy to achieve Q3 after being blocked by Q, and then immediately connect to Q, which is a seamless connection.
Of course, this armor-piercing style also has great limitations, that is, it is very easy to die suddenly in team battles. If there is no flash, it will be difficult to enter the group. There is no thirst for blood or other equipment to support the blood volume, and it relies entirely on E's shield to absorb damage. The idea is the same as that of heroes such as Sword Girl and Qinggangying. They look for opportunities to involve unlimited singles, and when they form a group around important resources, they can flash around and cut off the crispy skin.
As the oldest and most popular top laner, new outfit styles have brought new vitality to Riven.
