Riven Top build guide: runes, items and skill order
This Riven Top build covers League of Legends patch 16.20. Compare the selected runes, starting items and core purchases before the match, then adapt your later purchases to enemy damage and defenses. The source recommendations use the Iron filter across all servers.
For Riven runes, this setup uses Conqueror with Inspiration as the secondary path. Check the highlighted stat shards as well: they are part of the rune page, not extra items. Hover or tap a rune to read its effect before deciding whether it suits your matchup.
The displayed Riven skill order starts with Q and prioritizes Q → E → W. The level-by-level grid covers the first 15 levels supplied by the source. Follow that sequence as a reference while accounting for what your lane or team needs. Item win rates describe completed purchases and should be read alongside their game counts.
Which items should you build on Riven Top?
The most popular core items in this Riven Top build are Axiom Arc → Endless Hunger → Death's Dance. Check starting items and boots separately, then compare later item options against the enemy team. This is a reference for patch 16.20, not a fixed purchase order for every match.
Which runes should you choose for Riven Top?
For the selected Iron rank filter, the rune page uses Conqueror with Inspiration. Review each rune tooltip and the selected stat shards before entering champion select.
How do you compare Riven builds by rank?
Use the rank selector to view a separate build and win rate for Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster or Challenger. Keep the same role when comparing. A small sample is less reliable, and a higher win rate alone does not prove a better build.
How this build works
Core purchases
The most popular core combination in the source is Axiom Arc → Endless Hunger → Death's Dance. Treat it as a starting point: choose defensive or penetration options for the opponents you are facing.
Read the sample
The core combination has an observed win rate of 64.06% across 64 games. These are games that reached this purchase combination, not all games played by the champion. A completed build can appear stronger because winning players can afford more items.

Read the guideAbout Riven
Once a swordmaster in the warhosts of Noxus, Riven is an expatriate in a land she previously tried to conquer. She rose through the ranks on the strength of her conviction and brutal efficiency, and was rewarded with a legendary runic blade and a warband of her own. However, on the Ionian front, Riven's faith in her homeland was tested and ultimately broken. Having severed all ties to the empire, she now seeks to find her place in a shattered world, even as rumors abound that Noxus itself has been reforged...
