Guide & Strategy Breakdown

Ragnarok Olaf walks straight through crowd control with Ragnarok (R), cuts carries down with Reckless Swing (E) true damage, and keeps them from leaving with Undertow (Q) axes.

Ragnarok Olaf walks straight through crowd control with Ragnarok (R), cuts carries down with Reckless Swing (E) true damage, and keeps them from leaving with Undertow (Q) axes.

How it plays

The lower Olaf's health drops the worse the situation gets for everyone else. Berserker Rage raises his attack speed as his health falls. Undertow (Q) slows whatever it hits, and picking the axe back up resets the cooldown, so a Season 3 Olaf collecting his own axes is never waiting on it. Ragnarok (R) breaks crowd control and then refuses to let any more stick.

What to buy

  • Starting Items: Doran's Shield and Health Potion.
  • Core Build Rush: Ninja Tabi (reduces physical trade damage from top lane bruisers), Sunfire Cape (adds immolate magic damage while Olaf charges carries, building heavy armor against AD top laners), Spirit Visage (increases Vicious Strikes W lifesteal and spell vamp by +20%, keeping Olaf alive at low HP when Berserker Rage passive boosts attack speed), and Ravenous Hydra (Ragnarok R breaks all crowd control and grants complete CC immunity, while Hydra gives AoE lifesteal during carry dives).
  • Situational Options: Reckless Swing (E) + The Black Cleaver (deals up to 340 true damage on a short cooldown while Cleaver shreds armor), Randuin's Omen, Warmog's Armor, and Guardian Angel.

Summoners and skill order

  • Ghost (synergizes with Ragnarok CC immunity to run down carries) and Teleport.
  • Max E (Reckless Swing) or Q (Undertow) first depending on matchup (E for up to 340 true damage trades, Q for axe-pickup kiting). Max W (Vicious Strikes) second.

New to the champion?

Combos worth drilling

  • Perma-Axe Slow Chase: Throw Q (Undertow) -> run forward and pick up axe off ground -> throw Q again -> Reckless Swing (E) up to 340 true damage.
  • CC-Immune Ragnarok Dive: Pop Ghost + R (Ragnarok) -> ignore all enemy CC (stuns, roots, slows) -> run straight through enemy team to execute their ADC.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Don't forget to pick up Q axes: Picking up Q resets its cooldown instantly. If you miss picking up the axe, your chase ends.
  • Don't panic at low HP: Berserker Rage passive boosts attack speed as HP drops; turn on W (Vicious Strikes) lifesteal to duel at 10% HP.

Playing it out

  • Early Game (Levels 1-5): Trade with Reckless Swing (E) true damage whenever enemy top laners step up for CS. Pick up Q Undertow axes to spam slows.
  • Mid Game (Levels 6-11): Activate Ragnarok (R) during 1v2 ganks to ignore enemy stuns/slows, popping Ghost to run down and kill the enemy jungler.
  • Late Game (Levels 12+): Activate Ghost + Ragnarok (R) in 5v5 teamfights. Ignore all enemy peel CC (Morgana bindings, Leona stuns, Janna tornadoes) and execute their ADC with Reckless Swing.
