How to win the jungle race as Olaf against Naafiri · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Olaf's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Naafiri.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Olaf Dominant | Undertow (Q) spam clears fast and chunks anyone who contests your buff. Later in the game this bites, because double Darkin Daggers bleed plus the packmate swarm wins raw early exchanges. But before either of you has a second camp down none of it is online, so take the level-1 crossing and tax every camp Naafiri concedes. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Olaf Dominant | Vicious Strikes (W) sustain means you leave every camp healthier than they do, while the Hounds' Pursuit dash trade chunks anyone contesting their second buff. Only one of those wins on the second camp, so press it: take the level-2 skirmish, then leave with the second buff and the tempo that comes with it. |
| Level 3 Route | Olaf Dominant | Full Q-W-E with Reckless Swing true damage means nobody on the roster out-brawls this. The full pack with W dash and Q reset bleed is a real early kill threat, and as the first scuttle timer lands that is not an answer. Take the level-3 river fight and make Naafiri path away from the camps you want. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Olaf Dominant — Keep Fighting | Nothing about 4-5 helps Naafiri here: she roams 4-5 with the pack up, hunting lanes with a slow so the W dash cannot be walked out of, while you can take any duel you can reach. Invade on the clear-timer, not on a whim. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Ragnarok Favoured | Ragnarok's CC immunity turns every post-6 skirmish into a stat check you win. Naafiri's six is not empty — the empowered pack dive shields her engage and swarms your counter-trade. Take the duel from even health rather than from behind, and burst the packmates mid-dive — her ult damage walks on four legs. |
| First Item Spike | Ravenous Hydra Spike | Completing your core item triggers a massive physical damage, wave clear, and lifesteal multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or isolated targets. Naafiri's first item is where the dagger bleed plus the pack becomes a full health bar rather than a heavy trade. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Even Scaling — Prep Decides | Even at full build. Since she picks one target and the pack removes it before your team can turn, win the vision around the pit first and the fight second. |
Start your clear at the Red Buff camp to maximize early continuous damage via Q resets and passive attack speed. Naafiri clears fast because the packmates fight the camp with her, and she reaches three with the pack still up.
