Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Dual Wield

    Prismatic

    Gain 20% total Attack Speed.

    Why on Olaf

    Each attack lowers Reckless Swing (E) cooldown by 1 second, so extra Attack Speed means more true damage swings, and Berserker Rage (passive) adds even more Attack Speed when you are low.

  2. Symphony of War

    Prismatic

    Gain the Lethal Tempo and Conqueror Keystone Runes.

    Why on Olaf

    Lethal Tempo raises your Attack Speed as you keep hitting, cutting Reckless Swing (E) cooldown faster, while Conqueror rewards the long fights Ragnarok (R) keeps you disable-immune in.

  3. Tap Dancer

    Prismatic

    Gain Attack Speed equal to 10% of your Move Speed.

    Why on Olaf

    Ragnarok (R) gives you Move Speed toward enemy champions, which Tap Dancer turns into Attack Speed, and every attack also lowers Reckless Swing (E) cooldown.
