Gameplay style

Olaf fills the diver/fighter/tank role with melee attacks, mostly in toplane.

Olaf deals physical damage and spends Mana to cast abilities. Tanks like Olaf soak damage at the front of fights and lock enemies down with crowd control.

Olaf's story

An unstoppable force of destruction, the axe-wielding Olaf wants nothing but to die in glorious combat. Hailing from the brutal Freljordian peninsula of Lokfar, he once received a prophecy foretelling his peaceful passing—a coward's fate, and a great insult among his people. Seeking death, and fueled by rage, he rampaged across the land, slaughtering scores of great warriors and legendary beasts in search of any opponent who could stop him. Now a brutal enforcer for the Winter's Claw, he seeks his end in the great wars to come.
