Olaf grinds down the sidelane through raw durability and drags the map apart. Enough Attack and Catch sits in the kit to fight front-to-back when the enemy forces it. Zero hard-CC anywhere in kit — Q (Undertow) only slows/armor-shreds, making Olaf a pure CC-immune diver rather than a CC dealer.

Passive scales attack speed and lifesteal with missing HP, rewarding fighting at low health
R grants 3s full CC immunity (cleanses on cast) plus bonus resistances/AD, extendable via hits, making him nearly impossible to peel off a target

Dragons & win rate

Win rate when Olaf's team secured at least one of each drake, next to the all-champion rate in that same state. Teams that take dragons are usually already ahead, so every champ wins more with them — the honest read is the gap, i.e. whether Olaf beats the average team that also has the drake. Single-drake samples are thin; treat small counts as suggestive.

Active: Olaf throws an axe to the target location that deals physical damage to enemies it passes through and slows them for 1 – 3 (based on distance traveled) seconds. Enemy champions hit are also inflicted with 20% armor reduction for 4 seconds.

Physical Damage: 70 / 120 / 170 / 220 / 270 (+ 100% bonus AD)
Slow: 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50%

Monster Bonus Physical Damage: 20 / 45 / 70 / 95 / 120
Total Monster Damage: 90 / 165 / 240 / 315 / 390 (+ 100% bonus AD)

The axe remains in place for a duration equal to Undertow's cooldown, granting sight of its surroundings for 0.5 seconds. Olaf can pick up the axe to reduce Undertow's current cooldown to 2.5 – 0 (based on seconds elapsed since axe landed).

Nearby monsters are granted ghosting for 5 seconds upon Undertow's cast.

Targeting input: LocationTarget out-of-range override: Target at maximum range (clamped)Affects: EnemiesDamage type: Area damageDamage sub-types: PhysicalSpell shield: BlockedProjectile: See Notes

Notes (6)

Undertow may hit additional targets upon landing, but not targets already struck in-flight.
The axe will land approximately 50 units further than Undertow's target range if cast below maximum range.
Projectile-intercepting effects (e.g. Wind Wall, Unbreakable) cannot destroy the axe, they will instead cause it to stop prematurely and remain on the ground upon collision.
The timer for how long an axe stays on the ground does not begin until it has landed, thus it is possible to throw another axe before retrieving the first.
Olaf cannot pick up an enemy Olaf's axe on the ground.
This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.

Tough It Out

Cost: 50 ManaCooldown: 16 / 15 / 14 / 13 / 12Cast time: none

Active: Olaf gains bonus attack speed for 5 seconds.

Bonus Attack Speed: 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80%

Shield Strength: 10 / 40 / 70 / 100 / 130 (+ 17.5% missing health)

Tough It Out resets Olaf's basic attack timer.

Targeting input: AutoAffects: Self

Notes (2)

Tough It Out's bonus attack speed value is updated when it is cast, even if it was already active.
At 70% missing health, the health ratio portion of the shield is capped at the equivalent of 12.5% maximum health.

Reckless Swing

Cost: 28 / 46 / 64 / 82 / 100 (+ 20% AD) HealthCooldown: 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 / 7Cast time: 0.25 – 0.175 (based on bonus attack speed)Target range: 325

Active: Olaf strikes thunder onto the target enemy, dealing true damage.

True Damage: 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+ 50% AD)

If Reckless Swing kills the target, Olaf heals himself equal to the health cost.

Basic attacks reduce Reckless Swing's cooldown by 1 second, increased to 2 against monsters.

Targeting input: UnitTarget out-of-range override: Walk in range of the target unit to castAffects: EnemiesDamage type: Ability damageDamage sub-types: TrueMinion Aggro: DrawnSpell shield: Blocked

Notes (7)

The health cost is equal to 40% of Reckless Swing's true damage value.
Reckless Swing can be cast even if Olaf doesn't have the sufficient amount of health to pay for the health cost.
As with all abilities with health costs, Reckless Swing will not reduce Olaf's health below 1.
Reckless Swing's health refund is considered a heal therefore it is affected by healing modifiers.
If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
Olaf will also not receive the benefits from killing an enemy if this canceling takes place very shortly before the attack hits the invalidated target, but Reckless Swing's effect will be consumed.(bug)
The health cost will also be refunded if the target dies shortly after being hit by Reckless Swing.

Bonus Resistances: 10 / 15 / 20

Bonus Attack Damage: 10 / 20 / 30 (+ 25% AD)

Ragnarok's duration is increased by and up to 2.5 seconds for each basic attack on-hit or cast of Reckless Swing against an enemy champion.
