Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through Q poke and empowered W trades, as Olaf lacks gap closers and sustain early.
- At level 6, Olaf becomes significantly stronger due to his R making him immune to your W stun and allowing him to run you down with increased attack speed.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q poke followed by empowered W-auto-Q when Olaf steps up for CS, then immediately back off using E if he tries to chase.
- Never extended trade without your E up, as Olaf's sustained damage with W active will outdamage you in longer fights.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to establish level advantage and recall timing, but transition to freezing near your tower once Olaf hits level 6.
- You want to avoid long lanes where Olaf can run you down with R, so maintain wave control closer to safety.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use your W engage when Olaf has R available, as he'll become immune to the stun and turn the fight around with his ultimate's stats.
- Don't try to match Olaf's sustain through extended farming - your strength is burst trading and roaming with R, not sustained laning.
