How to play

Lethality Build specific
  1. You build Lethality and wait for a moment to strike enemy squishes.
  2. Snowball / Mark is a crucial cooldown for playing this build. Do not waste it or even wait to hit the enemy at point-blank range to ensure hit (so you follow them, if they Flash).
  3. If an enemy team is full of tanks or bruisers, rush Serylda's Grudge or even Lord Dominik's Regards early (sometimes even #2). Black Cleaver is also an alternative. The key is to adapt to the enemy team.
  4. You poke enemies with your Q.
  5. You will be squishy, so be careful when going in!

Tips and Tricks

Riot
  1. Olaf can combine Berserker Rage, Vicious Strikes, and Ragnarok at low life to become deceptively strong.
  2. The bonus healing granted by Vicious Strikes amplifies your Life Steal from all sources as well as heals from allies.
