The jungle race — the windows in Olaf's plan

Read from Olaf's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Evelynn.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearOlaf DominantUndertow (Q) spam clears fast and chunks anyone who contests your buff, while pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle. Only one of those wins at the first buff, so press it: take the level-1 crossing, then leave with a camp and a chunk of their health bar.
Level 2 SkirmishOlaf DominantVicious Strikes (W) sustain means you leave every camp healthier than they do. Pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle, and with one camp still up on both sides that is not an answer. Take the level-2 skirmish and make Evelynn path away from the camps you want.
Level 3 RouteOlaf DominantFull Q-W-E with Reckless Swing true damage means nobody on the roster out-brawls this. There is no version of this Evelynn wins right now — pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle, and that folds at the opening scuttle. Show on their side of the river and take the first scuttle and the gank window behind it.
Levels 4-5 MacroOlaf Favoured — Take DuelsThe 4-5 window is yours if you pick it: she is still farming for six and cannot contest anything she does not out-number. Track that pattern, arrive one camp early, and take the fight before the follow-up shows.
Level 6 BreakpointEven Ult WindowBoth sixes are real: Ragnarok's CC immunity turns every post-6 skirmish into a stat check you win, while Demon Shade camouflage means they choose every post-6 fight. Whoever lands their ultimate first wins the window — track the level race and never be the one caught at five and a half.
First Item SpikeRavenous Hydra SpikeCompleting your core item triggers a massive physical damage, wave clear, and lifesteal multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or isolated targets. Evelynn's first item plus camouflage is the spike that flips the matchup — the charm rotation starts killing outright.
2+ Items ScalingDanger — Evelynn OutscalesThe clock is your enemy. She is invisible and lethal, and every unswept corridor is a charm into a delete, so close the game on the first two objectives you actually win.

How to beat Evelynn as Olaf: the first clear and pathing

Start your clear at the Red Buff camp to maximize early continuous damage via Q resets and passive attack speed. Evelynn clears slowly and unhealthily before six, so her early pathing is usually the safest, longest route she can take.
