Dr. Mundo vs Poppy

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize safe farming with (Q) to build health and durability for late-game scaling.
Avoid giving Poppy free all-in windows by respecting her anti-dash (W) and terrain stun threat.
This is a scaling lane where Mundo must survive early pressure and outlast Poppy through health and healing.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (Q) reliably lands to slow and control spacing, avoiding missed cleavers.
Avoid engaging when (W) is available to block dashes and disrupt your approach.
Extend trades after level 6 using (R) healing and movement to sustain through her burst and crowd control.

Danger windows

Be cautious when your passive crowd control block is down, as (E) wall stun becomes more threatening.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 when your healing and durability are lower.
Watch for (R) knockaway in fights; avoid positioning that allows her to isolate or disengage you.

Early game

Use (Q) to poke and farm safely while avoiding extended trades before level 6.
Respect (W) anti-dash field by not committing dashes or engages near walls.
Focus on maintaining health and passive crowd control block to reduce Poppy's engage effectiveness.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) before Poppy's burst to survive and chase or disengage fights.
After first health item, pressure side waves to force Poppy to spend time cutting through your durability.
Respect Poppy's level 6 (R) knockaway as it can reset fights or isolate you if mispositioned.

Win conditions

Survive early lane with safe (Q) farming and passive crowd control block to reach health scaling.
Use (R) healing and movement to absorb damage and outlast Poppy in extended side-lane fights.
Pressure side waves post-health item to force Poppy to deal with your durability, limiting her control and scaling.
