[Set 3.5] Riven Sorcerer Patch 14.1

Sorcerer in Set 3.5 grants ALL of your units bonus AP, even if they aren't a Sorcerer themselves. One unit that makes great use out of the bonus AP is riven, because she has a ratio for her shield and her damage. Her job is to buy you enough time for your backline carries like Viktor or Xerath/Janna to get their cast out.

In early game you usually run a mix of Star Guardian and Sorcerer with Ahri as your main AP item dump. You want to be Level 7 in early Stage 4 and have 6 Sorcerer + Riven on the board to stabilize. From here you push towards Level 8, upgrade your units and look out for Xerath/Janna to help you close out the game.

If you find a Star Guardian Emblem you can give it to Viktor and aim for 6 SG + 6 Sorcerer as an alternative win condition. With Level 9 you can add other units that profit from the high bonus AP like Gangplank or Fizz, or simply add Thresh with Urgot on the bench to get rid of Exodia units.
