The Exile

Rushdown chain-combo swordfighterResource: ExileDifficulty

A fast sword whose Unique is Broken Wings, a three-part swing chain with an overhead, a mid, and a launching low. Every swing banks a Runic charge that she cashes on an empowered normal or a Runic Discharge wave. Pick her if you like running a high/low mix off every knockdown and routing long, multi-leg combos.

22EX off the first 2U launches and jump-cancels into the air leg, so it costs no leg, and the rest of the route runs under the tier-H Exile: both pickups get the extra swing. The best 50 Style route.

Early 22EX, finisher chase

The air-dash top with 22EX off the first 2U. The Exile's low j.U relaunch is chased by the air dash-cancel; it trails the plain three-leg 22EX route (riven.ex.early-exile).

22EX launches and jump-cancels, so the install buys an air leg before the swings pick up j.H with the extra swing. It beats the grounded pickup (riven.install.ex).
