Skills analysis

Olaf is a fighter. He is one of the best melee game champions early in the game and can even beat the likes of Lee Sin and Xin Zhao in combat. His abilities help him with this and he has the tools to win 1v1 fights quite easily. Let’s see what these skills are.

Passive – Berserker Fury

This is a very useful passive in team fights. When Olaf is low on health, he attacks faster. His ganks are feared for this reason, as he tends to stick to his target and hit him, as they reduce his health. Provides one of the most powerful passives in League Of Legends: Wild Rift.

Skill 1 – Undertow

The throwing ax takes care 80 Physical Damage (80+ 100% bonus attack damage) and also slows down the enemy that has been hit, however 25%, within 2 seconds. As stated above, each time Olaf picks up the ax, Undertow’s cooldown is reduced by 4.5 secondsallowing him to spam his axes and clear the jungle faster than most other champions.

A downside to this ability, however, is that it consumes mana very quickly. Therefore, it is recommended to start Olaf’s jungle without the Blue Buff. Therefore, he can regenerate mana while clearing the rest of the camps.

Skill 2 – Fierce Blows

Olaf earns 50% attack speedAnd 16% physical vampire. Vampire is a statistic that means healing. The body vampire is a subtype of Vamp, which is a stat that grants healing equal to a percentage of physical damage dealt) and increases healing received by 0.5% for 1% of missing health for 6 seconds.

This helps during the jungle, because clearing jungle camps while regaining health is vital for a healthy cleanup. In team fights, this is especially useful, if they have a healer on your team like Seraphine, Sona, Janna, Lulu or Soraka.

Skill 3 – Reckless Swing

When Olaf rushes towards an enemy, he deals 92 true damage to them (60 + 50% scaling with attack damage). However, if the enemy doesn’t die, Olaf takes 31 true damage (21 + 15% scaling with attack damage).

This is a unique mechanic. Olaf must carefully use this ability to deliver the killing blow, otherwise he will take damage and reduce his health. However, when used correctly, this ability can reduce Olaf’s health and make him attack faster, due to his passive, as he heals with his second ability. Basic Attacks reduce the cooldown of Reckless Swing by 1 second.

Ultimate ability of Olaf – Ragnarok

This ability has a passive and an active.

• Passive: Olaf gains 20 Armor and Magic Resist.
• Active: Become immune to all forms of crowd control (CC) e gains 30 attack damage (30 + 30% scaling with attack damage)but loses passive effect for 6 seconds. It also gains 20% movement speed when moving towards an enemy champion for 1 second after being cast.

This ability is available to cast while under crowd control effects.

Best runes and spell configurations for Olaf in Wild Rift

Configuration of the runes

These are the following best runes for Olaf.

Runa Keystone – Conqueror

Olaf accumulates Conqueror very quickly. His attack speed helps with this, and so his damage increases by a lot. This is the best keystone rune for Olaf, without a doubt.

Brutal

Brutal helps him clear jungle camps faster by providing him more damage early in the game. This makes room for ganks and helps to hit goals faster.

Titan hunter

Hunter Titan is useful against many team compositions. When Olaf gets a takedown on an enemy champion, he gains tenacity, which in turn helps reduce crowd control. It also grants maximum health and is a solid rune for Olaf.

explorer

The best rune for a slow champion like Olaf. Grants bonus movement speed in bushes, jungles, and rivers when not in combat. This makes it much easier to navigate the jungle and river, leading to more gank and lane priority for Olaf’s laners.

Summoner spells

Rapid

This is quite self-explanatory. Just like many other champions, The Flash helps Olaf engage in escape from enemies or get him out of difficult situations.

To punish

This is a mandatory spell for the jungle. In the last update, a feature has been added where the player assigned the role in the jungle has automatically chosen the Smite spell. This is excellent, because many times, before the aforementioned update, the jungler, when automatic fillingplayers forgot to choose to smite as a spell. This is an autofill Sense – When the player has selected “Fill any position”). Smite is a must for taking out fields and targets, and it also helps deal more damage to champions.

Best builds for Olaf in League of Legends: Wild Rift

In this part of our guide, we will discuss the best build for Olaf in League of Legends: Wild Rift.

• Strength of the Trinity: A great first item for a fighter like Olaf. He gives him a variety of stats such as Health, Attack Damage, Attack Speed, and Skill Haste (cooldown reduction). Sheen, one of his components, helps deal more damage to enemies after a cast ability, making him an even better item for a skill spammer like Olaf.
• The dance of death: Gives Olaf armor and attack damage, making him a little more tanky. The item protects against blast damage and gives it more time to deal damage to enemies. Also, when Olaf kills an enemy, Death’s Dance will help him restore 15% of his maximum health in 2 seconds.
• Armored Boots (glorious spell): Armor boots give him more armor. The spell has an active ability, which is Unique – Gloria. This helps in earning a 15% bonus movement speed for 4 seconds, increasing to 60% towards enemy champions or turrets. After 4 seconds or after reaching an enemy champion, a shockwave is emitted that slows nearby enemies by 50% for 2 seconds (45 second cooldown).
• Sterak’s caliber: The item grants Olaf an additional 400 health points. On top of that, Olaf grows in size and gains a shield when he drops below 35% maximum health. This protects him from fatal damage and gives him some time to escape.
• Guardian angel: The item inflicts 40 Attack Damage and 40 Armor on Olaf. Its unique feature is to resurrect the player after his death. This is useful for Olaf, as he wants to throw himself headlong into fights and therefore takes a lot of damage. So, with the Guardian Angel, when Olaf dies, he comes back to life with 50% of his base health and removes all negative effects on himself.
• Spiritual face: Spirit Visage synergizes well with Olaf’s second ability. His second ability increases incoming healing, and Spirit Visage also increases all healing and regeneration effects by 30%. It also provides magic resist, and thus is a great last item for him.

League of Legends: Wild Rift Olaf Game Tips

Olaf is a fighter and, as discussed earlier, he excels at early game fights. With all of that in mind, our Wild Rift Olaf guide includes the perfect game plan for the opening, middle and final game.

Early game

During the start of the game, Olaf’s most important goal is to clear the fields as fast as possible and loom over the ganks with his first and third skills.

Scuttlecrab’s fights are his strength, and if the enemy is a weaker jungler, players should fight and win, and even if not, Olaf’s initial damage will cause them to become the Scuttlecrab. This will establish the vision and help with further gank.

Mid-game

Goal-taking and team fights are the names of the mid-stage game. Olaf can be really strong in team fights with his ultimate. His immunity to CC, coupled with his glorious spell, allows him to take down enemies quickly.

It is also advised to fight at a time when enemies cannot easily escape without burning their summoner spells. For example, when the abilities of the enemies are in cooldown and when there is only one enemy separated in the area, from the rest of the team. The dragon and baron pits are also excellent places to start fighting.

Late game

This is the stage where Olaf begins to fall. As other champions obtain their items and the cooldown of their abilities is reduced, Olaf’s usefulness begins to diminish. Despite this, he remains a team fighting monster and can be used to flank the back line and weaker enemies on either side while the front line of the team is engaging their front line. He acts like a killer fighter, goes into combat, deals a lot of damage and kills a person or two, and exits before he can be killed.

Final thoughts

Against the compositions of teams with a load of CC, Olaf shines more. He doesn’t care about crowd control during his supreme, including knock-ups and knock-backs, however, he still takes damage from them. His true damage, coupled with his healing, makes him a great early game duelist. Overall, he is a reliable choice in the right situations and, when piloted correctly, he can be unstoppable, like a Berserker.
