Jungle Olaf excels at aggressive early-game plays with strong dueling potential and objective control. Here's the optimal build and strategy:

Core Build:

  • Summoner Spells: Ghost, Smite
  • Mythic: Stridebreaker
  • Boots: Plated Steelcaps
  • Core Items: Sundered Sky, Sterak's Gage, Death's Dance, Spirit Visage

Runes:

  • Primary: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, Last Stand
  • Secondary: Approach Velocity, Magical Footwear
  • Shards: Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, Health Scaling

Skill Order: Q > E > W

Key Tips:

  • Pick up thrown axes to reset Q cooldown (manage mana usage)
  • Leverage early game strength for ganks and invades
  • Focus frontline in teamfights unless significantly ahead

Strong Against:

  • Smolder (65.2% WR)
  • Yasuo (57.0% WR)
  • Jayce (56.9% WR)

Weak Against:

  • Elise (41.1% WR)
  • Ivern (42.3% WR)
  • Master Yi (42.3% WR)

Best Synergies:

  • Rammus (58.7% WR)
  • Udyr (58.6% WR)
  • Rek'Sai (54.2% WR)

Alternative builds include Ravenous Hydra first item (56.7% WR) or Experimental Hexplate (54.9% WR) for off-meta approaches. Adjust defensive items based on enemy composition and damage types.

For teamfights, either peel for carries or dive backline depending on game state and team composition. Maintain aggressive jungle control and prioritize objective securing with your strong dueling potential.
