Favour timeline — the windows in Camille's game plan

Read from Camille's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Olaf.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillUndertow's slow and armour shred plus lifesteal that grows as his health drops out-trade your single ability at level 1, and walking over the axe is your only counterplay.
Level 2Even / skillShort trades are genuinely skill-dependent here — your W heal can offset his lifesteal, but a missed Q or a stuck axe-slow flips it either way.
Level 3OlafWith your full kit up, W outer-edge max-HP damage plus heal and the empowered Q2 true damage out-trade Olaf whenever his Ragnarok is on cooldown.
Levels 4-5Even / skillRanked Q amplifies the second-hit true damage, so short controlled trades into him favour you while his R is down.
Level 6Even / skillLevel 6 is a knife's edge: your R isolates him for a winnable 1v1, but only if you bait his Ragnarok first — into Ragnarok your E and R lock nothing.
First itemOlafHextech Ultimatum traps Olaf in an arena he can't leave, and with anti-heal up his lifesteal can't grind you out of the isolated duel.
Two+ itemsOlafAt full items his missing-health lifesteal and Reckless Swing true damage out-last you — anti-heal up and play for picks, not blind 1v1s.

How to beat Olaf as Camille: the early game

Level 1 is Olaf's — Undertow's slow and armour shred plus a lifesteal that scales with his MISSING health out-trade your single ability, so don't contest the first wave; walk over the thrown axe to deny the slow and the pickup. His Q is physical, so it is Reckless Swing's true damage that beats your shield, not his autos. Once you have W and a point in E you stabilize: chip with the W outer edge for max-HP damage and the heal, and only commit when Ragnarok is down.
