Dr. Mundo vs Aatrox

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Dr. Mundo aims to survive early pressure and farm safely using (Q) to poke and manage spacing against Aatrox's lane pressure.
Avoid giving Aatrox free access to extended trades by respecting his (Q) sweet spots and (W) pull threat to deny his lane dominance.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (Q) lands repeatedly to slow Aatrox and create chase or disengage space.
Avoid extended trades if (Q) misses or passive is down, as Aatrox can punish with his (Q) combos and (W) pull.
Use (R) before lethal burst trades to sustain through Aatrox's damage and keep moving in fights longer.

Danger windows

Avoid extended trades when Aatrox has (R) active and can chain (Q) sweet spots with (E) repositioning.
Be cautious when (W) pull is available, as it can trap Mundo and set up for heavy damage.
Vulnerable before level 6 and health item spikes; minimize forced trades and avoid crowd control when passive is down.

Early game

Use (Q) to farm safely and avoid extended trades before level 6 when (R) and sustain are not available.
Respect (Q) and (W) cooldowns by not walking into his chain zone to minimize damage and crowd control risk.
Focus on consistent cleaver hits to maintain spacing and prevent Aatrox from forcing all-ins early.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) preemptively to outlast Aatrox's burst and chase potential.
After completing first health item, pressure side waves to leverage Mundo's durability and force Aatrox to spend time cutting through health.
Respect Aatrox's level 6 (R) window when he gains healing amplification and reset potential; avoid prolonged fights unless (R) is active.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure by farming safely with (Q) and leveraging passive crowd control block.
Reach health scaling and item spikes to become too durable for Aatrox to burst down.
Use (R) healing and movement speed to absorb damage in side lanes and front-to-back fights, outlasting Aatrox's sustain and resets.
