Dr. Mundo vs Darius

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Focus on surviving Darius's early lane pressure and avoid extended trades before level 6.
Prioritize safe (Q) cleaver farming and use your passive to block (E) pull for safer laning.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) to poke and slow Darius, then disengage before he stacks his passive fully.
Avoid missing (Q) as it reduces your trading effectiveness and allows Darius to punish.
Only extend trades when (R) is up to sustain through Darius's damage and outlast him.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) pull is available; getting caught leads to extended passive stacks and lethal trades.
Avoid extended fights when Darius has five passive stacks and (R) ready for execute resets.
Do not use (R) after Darius disengages; save it for when you can absorb lethal burst or chase.

Early game

Use (Q) to farm from a distance and avoid stepping into (E) pull range.
Avoid taking extended trades early; only trade when (Q) lands consistently and your passive is available.
Respect Darius's early all-in threat and do not overcommit before (R) is unlocked.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) before Darius's burst to heal and chase or survive extended fights.
Your first health item significantly boosts durability and damage; use this to pressure side waves.
Respect Darius's level 6 (R) execute window and his first bruiser item spike by avoiding long trades without (R).

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure by farming safely with (Q) and passive crowd control block.
Outscale Darius by reaching health item spikes and using (R) to sustain through fights.
Pressure side lanes and force Darius to spend time cutting through your high health, reducing his kill pressure.
