| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Olaf | Level 1 is Olaf's — his axe and Reckless Swing out-trade you before you have tools. |
| Level 2 | Olaf | Level 2 stays Olaf's: attack-speed passive and true damage win every stand-and-hit. |
| Level 3 | Olaf | Level 3 is Olaf's — his all-in with axe movespeed beats your early kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Level 4 is yours as your dash spacing lets you dodge axes and win short trades. |
| Level 6 | Olaf | Level 5 swings to Olaf: Ragnarok's CC-immunity means your knockup can't stop him. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item is yours — crit and Wind Wall let you kite and refuse his all-in. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | 2+ items stay yours: you out-scale and out-mobilize a short-range Olaf. |
Olaf wins levels 1-3 outright: his Undertow axe, Reckless Swing true damage and passive attack speed overwhelm you in any extended trade, and Wind Wall can't block his true-damage E. Dodge his axes to deny the movespeed and just farm safely.
