Riven Spark
A bolt at the nearest foe splits in two behind it. It aims itself at the nearest elite in range, or the nearest monster when there is no elite. Every foe it hits takes 1 shock stack: each stack makes it take 10% more damage from every source. Stacks last 4 s from the latest hit, 3 at most.
A level-up offers it as one of three cards.
Rank by rank
A level-up card offers a skill you do not have while one of your 6 slots is free, or the next rank of one you have, up to rank 5. These are the lines the card shows:
- Rank 1: 22 damage along the bolt and its two 2.5-tile branches, 1 shock stack · 4.0 s cooldown (2.4 s with Quick Hands at rank 5)
- Rank 2: 27 damage along the bolt and its two 2.75-tile branches, 1 shock stack · 3.8 s cooldown (2.28 s with Quick Hands at rank 5)
- Rank 3: 33 damage along the bolt and its two 3-tile branches, 1 shock stack · 3.6 s cooldown (2.17 s with Quick Hands at rank 5)
- Rank 4: 40 damage along the bolt and its two 3.25-tile branches, 1 shock stack · 3.4 s cooldown (2.03 s with Quick Hands at rank 5)
- Rank 5: 48 damage along the bolt and its two 3.5-tile branches, 1 shock stack · 3.2 s cooldown (1.92 s with Quick Hands at rank 5)

Evolution: Sundered Spark
Rank 5 + Whetstone → Sundered Spark. Hold Riven Spark at rank 5 and any rank of Whetstone, and the next level-up’s first card is the evolution, drawn in gold. A heavier bolt with longer branches, and all it touches is shocked twice.
- Change from rank 5
- +30% damage, +25% area, -10% cooldown
- Damage
- 48 → 62.4
- Cooldown
- 3.2 s → 2.88 s
- With Quick Hands 5
- 1.73 s
Whetstone is also the key to Rime Splinters, so one passive can open two evolutions.
