How to win lane as Lillia against Olaf · 48.95% win rate · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Olaf | Olaf out-trades your one-ability level 1 with axe (Q) slow and E true damage — last-hit with Q range and don't contest. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | You start chaining Q sweetspot and the E slow, but his axe pick-up reset keeps it even — bait the throw before you commit. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Dream Dust burn and stacking Q move speed make you slippery, but his lifesteal sustains the chip — neither of you wins clean yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lillia | Full Q rank plus compounding DoT lets you kite his walk-up and out-grind a champion who can't catch you without a landed axe. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Your R sleep is delayed and his Ragnarok goes CC-immune on demand, so the spike is mutual rather than yours. |
| First item | Lillia | Liandry's/Riftmaker turns your W and DoT into percent-HP burn — your skirmish power outpaces his first item if you space the axe. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | His R true damage ignores your shields and his sustain stabilizes — play spacing and roam rather than gamble the even 1v1. |
Level 1 belongs to Olaf — he has his full trade with axe (Q) slow plus E true damage while you only have one ability, so just farm with the tip of Q and don't contest. From Level 2-3 you start layering Q sweetspots with the E slow and the Dream Dust burn, and the stacking move speed makes you slippery — but never stand on a thrown axe, because if he picks it back up his cooldown resets and he can chain the slow. Bait the axe onto empty ground, then drift away on Q move speed while the DoT ticks.
