Who Wins

  • You lose most pre-6 trades due to Olaf's Q slow and sustain, but you can win short trades with E active if he commits.
  • Post-6 you become the stronger duelist with R providing defensive stats and your scaling damage output.

How to Trade

  • Use E proactively when Olaf runs at you, forcing him to either disengage or eat the stun for a favorable trade.
  • Follow up with W reset and Q to maximize damage during the stun window.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely and giving up some CS pre-6 rather than taking heavy poke damage.
  • Look to freeze the wave near your tower post-6 to create all-in opportunities when he steps up.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste E reactively after taking significant damage, as Olaf will simply disengage and re-engage when it's down.
  • Avoid extended trades without R active, as his sustain and consistent damage will outlast your burst.
