i love riven, it's a separate healthy economie for the game. however i hate the fact it's totaly random when i see my kuva burn to the ground because i miss the stats i want for the build.

Me sitting in my bed at 6am in the morning, wasting 300k Kuva on a Latron Riven 💀

It's fun!!!

I like rivens for high disposition weapons as they can pull up a mediocre or niche weapon and make it more competitive. "Can" is the key word as RNG is a fickle force and sometimes, well, you'd need something like riven disposition 10 to save the Stug.

For example, due to a good roll on a Dark Split-Sword riven (four dot disposition) said weapon is in my regular rotation with the nickname "the salad shooter."

Now all that said, the incarnon adapters also have been distinctly helping in that area. I haven't had the pleasure yet so I can't make any comparisons in relative effectiveness at pulling up weaker weapons.

I'd say a low dispo doesn't even mean it's not worth using. I have a Felarx riven on my switch account that I have rolled with roughly +50% to Projectile Speed, cold and fire rate and -40% to crit chance. There definitely were more desirable positives. But getting that minus to crit chance makes the Devouring Attrition evolution in evolution 5 that much more potent. I have landed at a 1.8% crit chance so when no pet buff or buff from other players screw up my critting it means that 98.2% of my pellets will trigger the conditions for what is basically a 10x multiplicative bonus. It's very weapon specific what negatives can turn out as a positive. But especially on the three original incarnon guns it can be quite good.

Rivens are a great way to compensate for similar mods you don't have and/or hate to use. For instance, the primed faction mods can be replaced with Rivens which will provide an even better faction damage buff for a MUCH cheaper Endo investment, and you could theoretically roll a Riven combining multiple factions on the same mod, which would remove the #1 annoyance of having to switch faction mods between missions.

However it's obvious that on any weapon with a disposition of less than 3 balls, Rivens are absolutely not worth the investment. Regular mods - status, multishot, damage, what have you... - will always provide better bonuses, so unless you're really in need of a 9th mod slot to max out your weapon as you please and are lucky enough to roll a Riven that can replace 2 mods at once (even for a lower stat tradeoff), you'll always be better off using regular mods instead...

And there's of course the whole lottery thing, which is a disgusting lootbox core mechanic which makes the whole Riven use highly unfair between players. Not only does it force Kuva grind - and players love grind, don't they... -, but 2 people rolling Rivens for the same weapon would most often than not end up with very different weapons, one of them being objectively stronger than the other, which imho is something that shouldn't be a thing in any online game, even a non-PvP one. So, do we all use Rivens? Most of us certainly do, but we can't help feeling somewhat dirty for doing so.

Side note: Rivens were introduced in order to "rebalance" old weapons and make them competitive against more recent and much better gear. However, this claim fell flat because most really old weapons are so abysmally bad they are beyond salvation in the current meta. If your weapon has a 5% crit chance, even a +500% crit chance Riven (which doesn't exist) wouldn't make it worthwhile for that matter. Also, some stats available on Rivens are meaningless or outright best to be avoided. No matter what, a handful of meta weapons always stand out by a large stretch and despite the plethora of weapons available in every category, there's just no reason to use many of those that don't have anything special going for them (forced procs, some useful gimmicks, synergies etc.) In that regard, Incarnons really brought back some of those forgotten weapons: they offer unique & fun mechanics while allowing players to deal with all levels of difficulty, thus being extremely competitive or even the new meta. Incarnons achieved what Rivens essentially sought to achieve - and failed.

Currently sitting on 620 and 860 rolls on Burston and Glaive respectively. Kuva is a pain to farm I agree. There is actually a meta method of farming that can yeild 40k kuva per 10mins. It is a pain but worth it for those desired god-rolls. I addicited to Kuva.

i bought 5 veiled rivens today, rerolled one of them and got a riven worth at least 700

[blackskulldud]

I still don't know how to get a rivin but now know what they do when I find out..

[DRFTKNG]

Since I started playing on Xbox series S in early February 2024 I always thought those were ridiculous platinum prices, and when I did research near the end of February I basically found out a riven basically looses it's value once you reroll it 10 times because the kuva price drastically increases to reroll it. Everyday I see someone charging 1k for a riven that's been rerolled more than 80 times and the stats aren't even good for the weapon the riven specified.

[DoctorTBR]

you can get the best riven mods in the entire game by working at mcdonalds for a month and sacrificing your paycheck to the holy platinum gods

[PromethiaSHADOW]

RNG hates me in this game except when it comes to shotgun rivens lol

[Scare_Hive]

But how do I know if its worth rerollijg and tryna sell? Like how do I know if ppl are even looking for a pebblabla cernso riven?

[laurentiu.f]

The sevagoth drop was complete bullshit. Had no chance of watching it at that hour when work was waiting the next morning. Fuck that shit i was actually excited for it too

[TheWorldconsumer]

My honest and, i am very sure: not shared view on rivens- I hate them with a vengence. Either a weapon is good or not- no riven in the world will, for example, make me play with the stugg: its just a bad weapon. All rivens do is give more power to already powerful guns now- not the intended idea of em in the slightest.
The other side effect is that many newer players always see these used in builds of content creators- not blamin leyzar here of course- and think they HAVE to get these to be powerful. Which is totally not true.

[erichoward]

Question will the weapon you use to unlock rivens increase the chance that weapon will have the riven ?

[FuseiYudo]

I dont get why you would spend millions of kuva over grinding a new riven mod? what is the difference?

[ershlabel]

180 is the max amount of riv u can have 😊 and i want more then that 😢

[ccadet]

How could you hate rivens ppl are just weirdos lmao

[johnpar]

Hottest topics in warframe? Not sure by what metric thats supposed to be by. But Rivens should be removed. Or phased out somehow, and its kind of feeling like thats what they might be doing with the incarnon system.
