Learn how to play with Olaf with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Follow up aggressively when Olaf activates his R (Ragnarok) — it cleanses him of crowd control and makes him immune to it, so trying to peel for him wastes CC that's better saved for chasing down his target.
Team Fight Skirmish
Coordinate ganks on Olaf's lane around level 1-2 — his Q throw makes him one of the strongest early skirmishers in the game, and a lead here snowballs hard.
Lane Phase
Follow up with physical damage when Olaf's Q lands on an enemy champion — it strips 20% armor for 4 seconds, a short window where AD damage hits noticeably harder.
Skirmish
Keep attacking or using E on the same target while Olaf's R is active — landing hits on an enemy champion extends Ragnarok's duration, keeping him CC-immune longer.
Advanced Team Fight Skirmish
Don't write Olaf off when he drops low in an extended fight — his passive scales attack speed and lifesteal with missing health, so he often gets more dangerous, not less, as his HP falls.
Basic Skirmish Team Fight
Bring extra follow-up damage into late-game fights involving Olaf rather than protection — he falls off as enemies build defensive items and loses much of his early duelist edge.
