Dawnbringer Riven

Got this from a chest last month and honestly wasn't expecting much since I main Battle Bunny, but after about 50 games I'm actually converted. The whole angelic vibe seemed kinda cringe at first but the animations are insane once you get used to them.

What really stands out is how smooth the Q combo feels compared to other Riven skins. The golden slashes have this cleaner animation that makes fast combos way more readable, especially during teamfights when everything's chaotic. Her E shield looks bigger than it actually is which probably tilts enemies, and the R2 wind slash has this bright golden trail that's impossible to miss. I used to whiff ults on Battle Bunny sometimes in messy dragon fights but with Dawnbringer I haven't missed one yet. Last night we were contesting soul and I managed to flash R2 through three people perfectly because the hitbox indicator is just that clear.

The skin definitely feels more responsive than base Riven or even Arcade. Animation cancels flow better and there's something about the sword transforming during ult that makes you feel more fed than you actually are. But it's purely cosmetic advantage, not pay to win or anything. The recall where she floats up is pretty sick too, though you'll rarely see it if you're playing aggressive like you should.

Is Dawnbringer Riven worth it at 1820 RP? If you're a Riven main who plays her regularly, absolutely. My experience with Dawnbringer Riven has been way better than expected and it's become my go to skin over Battle Bunny and Arcade. Maybe wait for Your Shop if you're not in a rush though.
