Primal Ambush Riven reimagines Riven as a Favorclaw huntress from the wilds, trading her base steel‑and‑leather Noxian look for a tribal outfit with warm browns, reds, and gold accents, white‑and‑black hair topped with golden animal ears, and a rugged grey‑orange blade set with a striking eye on the guard. In game, her abilities leave claw‑mark trails and earthy motes; the palette focuses on brown and orange with faint green undertones, which makes her slashes feel heavier and more primal than base Riven’s sharper, airy effects. The new SFX lean into wood, bone, and stone textures, giving Q and W a rough, feral edge while E’s shield pulses with a grounded, mossy glow; it’s all a clear departure from the cleaner metal focus of her base kit. Her recall is a neat set piece where she cleaves a tree trunk to reveal a glowing orb, reinforcing the hunter‑in‑the‑wilds theme rather than any overt holiday tie‑in. The blade’s eye detail reads well on zoom and adds a focal point during R, while her tattoos and fabric textures carry the theme without overcomplicating the silhouette.
Chromas: 8 total — Amethyst, Citrine, Emerald, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, and Turquoise — shifting the outfit dyes and blade tints while keeping the primal motifs intact.
Release date: January 24, 2024. Earlier Riven-wide visual work applies here as well, including a VFX pass noted in V9.4 and a new splash art update recorded in V3.9.
Primal Ambush is a feral fantasy where champions become magical hunters of ancient wilds, sharing earthy colors, claw-mark motifs, and rugged materials across outfits and weapons. They belong to the Favorclaws, tiger-like warriors born with glowing Wildstripes that mark them as destined leaders of their kind.
