Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades to Olaf's sustained damage and lifesteal, but can go even with proper W Brittle into E knockup combos.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure and disengage options with R, making the matchup more skill-dependent around ram redirects.
How to Trade
- Use W to apply Brittle then immediately E for the knockup and bonus damage proc, creating short favorable trades.
- Set up Q pillars defensively to E off them for disengage when Olaf commits with W active.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and using Q to clear waves from range when Olaf looks aggressive.
- After 6, look for slow pushes into R setups, as the knockup chain can secure kills even against Olaf's tenacity from R.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W early in trades as the Unstoppable effect is crucial for avoiding Olaf's Q slows during his all-ins.
- Avoid fighting in open areas without Q pillar setups, as Olaf excels in straight-line chases where you can't utilize terrain for E knockups.
