Olaf vs Viktor

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Olaf wants to pressure early and deny Viktor's scaling by forcing extended melee fights where he can land repeated (Q) axes.
Use high early agency and lane pressure to prevent Viktor from safely farming and evolving his abilities.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (Q) slow and pick up axes to keep Viktor within melee range for (E) true damage and extended fights.
Use (R) to ignore Viktor's delayed (W) zone control and any crowd control attempts during all-ins.
Punish Viktor when he mispositions his (W) or uses abilities solely for wave clear by committing to extended trades.

Danger windows

Respect (W) stun delay and avoid engaging when it is ready to land, as it can interrupt your all-ins.
Be cautious after (R) ends since Viktor's crowd control and kiting potential return, making you vulnerable.
Beware of Viktor's poke with (E) and shield from (Q) that can whittle you down if you miss your (Q) axes.

Early game

Start trades by landing (Q) and picking it up to maintain chase and pressure Viktor before level 6.
Use (W) shield to sustain through Viktor's poke and extend trades when (Q) is available.
Avoid missing (Q) axes early, as it significantly reduces your ability to chase and punish Viktor's immobility.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to force straight-line fights ignoring Viktor's crowd control and commit when Viktor cannot fully disengage.
After your first fighter item, increase pressure by extending fights and chasing Viktor who lacks mobility.
Respect Viktor's level 6 (R) window by tracking its availability and avoid forcing trades when it is active unless you can secure a kill.

Win conditions

Win by landing repeated (Q) slows and forcing extended fights where your (W), (E), and (R) overpower Viktor's immobility.
Deny Viktor safe scaling by pressuring early and punishing misplaced (W) or ability usage.
Use side-lane pressure post-level 6 and first item to force fights and snowball advantages through your anti-CC ultimate and sustained damage.
