Learning goals
- Understand Riven rerolling.
- Understand Kuva cost.
- Understand old roll versus new roll choice.
- Learn why reroll goals matter.
- Avoid endless Kuva waste.
Explanation
Riven rerolling, often called cycling, uses Kuva to generate a new randomized stat set. The Riven stays for the same weapon, but you choose between keeping the current roll and accepting the new roll. Rerolling costs Kuva, the cost rises over early rerolls and eventually reaches a cap, and every roll has opportunity cost because Kuva takes time to farm.
What should I do?
Before rerolling, decide whether the weapon is worth using, whether the Riven is worth improving, which stats you want, which negatives are unacceptable, how much Kuva you will spend, and when you will stop.
Common mistakes
Avoid these Riven mistakes before spending Kuva, Platinum, or valuable inventory space.
- Rerolling because the Riven might become expensive.
- Rerolling because you feel lucky.
- Chasing perfect rolls without a Kuva budget.
- Ignoring the option to keep the old roll.
- Rerolling weapons you do not understand.
- Continuing only because you already spent a lot.
Key Takeaways
- Rerolling is not free improvement. It is a Kuva gamble that needs a budget.
Practical task
Rerolling is random and costs Kuva, so it needs limits.
- Pick one Riven you might reroll.
- Write the weapon name.
- Write why the weapon is worth rerolling.
- List three desired stats.
- List two unacceptable negatives.
- Set a maximum Kuva budget.
- Write your stop rule.
You have a reroll goal and stop rule before spending Kuva.
