How to win lane as Olaf against Lillia · 51.05% win rate over 713 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Olaf | Your Q-slow into auto wins first contact — she has no point-blank trade, only DOT and a W bounce that hasn't ramped yet. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Even race: your E true-damage threat is real but her passive DOT and W bounce let her trade back and kite the follow-up. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Skill window — land Q and you stick her for an E nuke; whiff it and she bounces out and DOTs you even. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lillia | Her spike: W healing-bounce and E let her perma-kite your Q misses and out-sustain your short trades. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Ragnarok cleanses her R sleep and W/E slows, turning a lane she normally kites into a committed all-in you win. |
| First item | Lillia | She edges it back — with W and E up and her R threat live, she resets every trade your axe doesn't lock down. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | She out-skirmishes flat-true-damage Olaf at items: Liandry/Riftmaker DOT and bounce-heal beat your short combos, so it's a coinflip you should have ended already. |
Lillia is an off-meta kiter up top, and the early game is yours. At Level 1 your Q-slow into autos beats her first contact — she has no point-blank trade, only passive DOT and a W bounce that needs to ramp. Throw Q to stick the slow, then walk her down before she can bounce away. Pick your axe back up to keep the slow chained. Don't chase her into her own minions where her W and E heal and reset; make her come to the wave and punish every step into your range.
