The third list of the best compositions
The composition Murderer (Slayer) with Olaf and Samira
If you have a lot of BF Swords, the composition Murderer is often the best way to use them. Olaf is a terrific late-game carry with the right items, especially when paired with the area damage of Samira.
This composition is highly dependent on specific objects, but she's capable of top 1 if you have a good early/mid game and manage to capitalize on it.
The best Chosen (Chosen) champions
Olaf Chosen Murderer (Slayer) ou Dragon Soul (Dragonsoul): The best Chosen you can have is Olaf for instantly having him 2 stars and with bonus stats, especially if he has the Murderer trait. The Dragon Soul trait is also interesting.
Sejuani ou Aatrox Elected Initiator (Vanguard): An elected Initiator is also very interesting to play 4 and have an excellent frontline.
Chosen Morgana Siphonor: If you find Morgana Chosen Siphon, you can either play her as is or play 4 with Swain and Vladimir.
When to Play Comp and Victory Conditions
When to play the comp
This composition is flexible at the unit level but still depends on at least one condition to be able to be played:
- You have good components for Olaf's items : Olaf depends on very specific items to really work, you shouldn't play him unless you have the right ones.
Top 1 Conditions
You will usually need a condition to win the game.
- 3 stars : If it is difficult to obtain, it is often the best way to guarantee the top 1.
- Level 9 with 2-Star Legendary Champions : If you can't get Olaf 3, you should go level 9 to play Samira, Zilean, Swain...
Preferred items

Olaf's objects are the most important for this composition.
Other options : |
||
+ 
Ouragan de Runaan : Since Olaf has huge physical damage on his attacks, the Runaan is his most important item because it allows him to almost double his DPS.
Doom Blade : This item synergizes very well with Runaan and Olaf's area damage, allowing him to quickly gain AD and thus become more and more dangerous.
Guardian angel : Olaf usually needs a defensive item in third. The Guardian Angel is excellent since when he comes back to life, he takes advantage of Murderer's lifesteal. The other option is the 
Ultra-fast cannon which allows him to stay away from the fray.
Giant Slayer, 
Infinity Blades, 
Last breath, 
Guinsoo's Raging Blade, 
Bloodlust, 
hand of justice ... If so, its defensive object can be a 
dragon claw or a 
Will of the titan.|

Samira should be your secondary carry with the offensive items you have left. Like Olaf, she should generally have 2 offensive and 1 defensive items.
Other options : |
||
Mercury : If Samira is unstoppable during her spell, the Mercury allows her to cast it without being controlled first.
Gripper trap.What to do with a Spatula?
Youmuu Specter Blade (
+ 
): If you have Pyke, you can change your Olaf in Assassin so that he directly attacks the opposing backline.
Breastplate of the Initiator ( + 
): With this item you can play 4 Initiators by changing Olaf ou Morgana in Initiator for example.
As usual, the 
Force of nature is always a great option.
Other Interesting Items
morellonomicon : Anti-healing is almost always a good idea in the meta. This object is excellent on Morgana, but can also go to Sejuani.
Other Utility Items : Since this composition only depends on the items of Olaf and Samira, you can make other powerful utility items: 
Redemption, 
Shroud of appeasement, 
Zephyr...
Course of the game
Note that the composition recommendations at the different levels are only examples: you can play any kind of different powerful board until the final composition, the main thing being to find a champion to hold Olaf's items time to find it. Here is a list of good candidates, in order of power:
- Kalista (with Duelists/Fanatics)
- Kindred (with anything)
- Shyvana (with Brawlers)
- Zed (with Fanatics and Murderers)
- Tristana (with Snipers and Dragon Souls)
First carousel
If you want to force this composition, you should almost always aim for a 
BF Sword on the first carousel.
Early game (Stage 2)
Levels 3/4 (Round 2-1 or 2-2)
One of the best ways to get to Olaf is to play a choke Fanatic (Cultist) with Kalista to hold things. This allows you to have a good early/mid game, and play units that will stay in your final composition.
Other options (depending on theelected that you find) are for example to bet on Zed ou Shyvana.
It's worth leveling up aggressively if your board is solid to try and go on a winning streak and have a good economy. To do this, try to combine objects quickly if you can and level up 4 since the round 2-1 ou 2-2.
If you don't not a good start, you can instead do a losing streak without buying XP in order to save as much as possible. In this case, you should roll a bit once you get to level 6 to find a chosen one at 3 range and stabilize.
Level 5 (Round 2-5)
It may be interesting tobuy more XP in round 2-3 for " pre-level » 5. Pre-leveling means that you will go to level 5 at the start of the next round, and you will therefore have a level 5 shop, increasing your chances of having champions there at 2, 3 and 4 gold.
(Editor's note: Pre-level = Buy experience to be at 8/10 XP (for example), and thus level up in the next round.)
If you have the start with Kalista, try switching to 6 Fanatics as soon as possible to really dominate most fights.
Midgame (Stages 3 and 4)
Level 6 (Round 3-2)
You should always pass level 6 in round 3-2 : the faster you level up, the more likely you are to find your important champions (Olaf, Aatrox, Sejuani, Morgana...). If you were in winning streak, and you have a good unit to add, you can level up by 3-1 to keep winning.
If you had a Weak stage 2 and your chosen one was not very good (Elise Sentinelle for example), you can sell it when you pass level 6 and roll a bit to try to find a chosen one at 3 gold which will be very powerful. However, avoid rolling below 20 gold.
Start collecting the champions that will be needed in your final composition if you find them: Olaf, Aatrox, Sejuani, Morgana... If you find an Olaf you can play it, but if you have the choice between playing Olaf 1 star et Kalista 2 stars, prefer the second option.
Level 7 (Round 4-1)
You should always pass level 7 at the start of Stage 4. At this point, you usually have three options:
- You don't have much HP left (less than 40) : You should roll some time to stabilize by finding 2-star champions, a decent chosen one, and if possible at least one Olaf. Avoid rolling below 20 gold.
- You still have enough HP ou your board is strong enough : this is what should happen to you most of the time, keep saving in order to roll at level 8.
Endgame (Stage 5+)
Level 8 (Round 5-1 or 4-5)
In the majority of cases, you will pass 8 level en round 5-1 to keep gold for roll. If you can pass level 8 by 4-5 and keep at least 30 gold (if you were on a winning streak and therefore have excellent economy), do it.
In 5-1, if you had a elected early game, sell it before you roll. When you roll, your goal is to get most of your 2 star champions (specifically Olaf), A elected correct, even if it is not the best possible, and a good frontline. You don't necessarily need your legendary champions right away, although Samira is a non-negligible plus.
Depending on which Chosen you get, you can play different variations of the composition. On the image above, you want to play with a elected murderer, but you can for example play with a elected Initiator and add a Ornn for artefacts :
If you have Olaf Chosen Dragon Soul, you can simply add Swain who gives you 2 Siphons bonus :
Feel free to roll down to 0 gold if needed, the time to have all your improved champions (except some legendaries). If once at 0 gold you are still missing copies, you can continue to roll each round until you have them or until the end of the game.
Once your board is stabilized, you should boost your economy up to 50 gold and then you have two options :
- Slow roll for Olaf 3 stars : If you are not not contested, and especially if you have 1 or 2 Neeko Helping Hands, you should try to roll your excess gold each round to try to get Olaf 3 stars. When you are only missing a few copies, roll all your gold until you find them.
- Pass level 9 : If you don't meet the requirements to play Olaf 3, you should try leveling up to 9 to increase your chances of getting 2-star legendary champions and adding more (Samira, Zilean, Swain, Ornn...).
Level 9 (End of Stage 5 or beginning of Stage 6)
As said above, at level 9 you will generally want to add a powerful legendary unit: Swain, Ornn, Azir, Yone... This is also an opportunity to upgrade your Samira and your Zilean.
Positioning Tips
If your Olaf n / A no high-speed Canon, set it to one end of the board so that it is not targeted as a priority by opponents. If necessary, you can move him back one space to ensure that your other champions are targeted before him. If he has the Ultra-Rapid Cannon, you can just put it in backline, trying to put it on the side where it will hit as many units as possible with its cone damage.
Always position your Sivir on the same side as Olaf so that he is within range of her spell (2 cells around her) and receives the attack speed bonus. If possible, try to also have Samira in the zone, although it moves a lot with its passive.
If you have Morgana, put it in the first line in the middle of your other champions so that she casts quickly. Also remember to position your Aatrox as opposed to opposing lanes if they don't have no mercury, so that he brings them into the fray.
