Rivens



  • Let’s delve into the fascinating world of Riven Mods. These unique mods can significantly enhance your weapons, but they come with a dash of complexity. Fear not—I’ll guide you through the intricacies step by step.
What Are Riven Mods?
  • Riven Mods are randomly generated mods tied to specific weapon families (such as Boltor, Braton, Cernos, etc.).
  • They can roll with stats found on standalone mods, including base damage, multishot, elemental damage, combo multiplier duration, and critical damage.
  • The strength of a Riven Mod depends on its Riven Disposition, which we’ll explore shortly.
  • You can only equip one Riven Mod on a weapon at a time.
Why Use Riven Mods?
  • Despite their reliance on RNG and rebalancing every three months, Riven Mods offer unparalleled power.
  • High-disposition Rivens can replace staple mods, providing objectively stronger stats and additional lines.
  • Low-disposition Rivens can combine multiple mod effects into one, saving valuable mod space.
  • In essence, Riven Mods can transform a good weapon into a meta contender.
How Riven Mods Work?
  • 1. Obtaining Riven Mods:
    • Complete the War Within quest to receive your first Riven Mod.
    • Obtain Rivens from sources like daily sorties, syndicates, and other players.
  • 2. Unveiling Rivens:
    • Equip a veiled Riven mod on the corresponding weapon type.
    • Complete the challenge to unveil it and reveal its random attributes.
  • 3. Rerolling Rivens
    • Use Kuva to roll the attributes of the Riven mod.
    • Aim for three positive attributes and one negative attribute to maximize bonuses.
  • 4. Farming Kuva:
    • Kuva is essential for rerolling Rivens.
    • Farm it through specific missions.

Remember, Riven Mods can be a game-changer, but they’re also subject to RNG and Riven Disposition. Explore, experiment, and find the perfect fit for your arsenal!
