Combine this with Erik the Swift and he can chase down low health heroes for cleanup, and do serious poke damage in lane. Erik, the speediest of the Trio, suddenly becomes a deadly force once this buff is proc'd. Having an extra 75% basic attack damage on Erik is a serious bonus. Olaf usually isn't the one dying first.Īs I'm writing this guide, all of the top players who play TLV in CCL are running this as the preferred talent at level 1.

In fights, you certainly want to keep him alive to get as much value from Nordic Attack Squad as possible, but with a bit of pull-back micro, he will usually be fine. Any health loss in lane can be quickly recovered by his passive. Olaf is the most survivable Viking he doesn't need any more health or armor. +20% hp and 2 stacks of block is usually never a bad talent, however, with TLV it's completely unnecessary. On the surface, this talent looks pretty decent.
