Ryze vs Dr. Mundo

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Ryze should focus on safe farming and controlled wave management to scale into mid and late game power.
Avoid giving Dr. Mundo a passive lane by denying easy health scaling and punishing his weaker early game.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (E) and (Q) combos, and save (W) to root and punish Dr. Mundo when he steps forward.
Avoid trading when low on mana or when (W) is needed defensively to prevent Mundo's follow-up.
Exploit moments when (Q) misses or his passive crowd control block is down to force trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) slow is available and he can engage or disengage effectively.
Respect the healing and movement speed from (R), which allows him to survive burst and chase.
Avoid extended fights before your first item and level 6, as Dr. Mundo's sustain and passive crowd control block are stronger then.

Early game

Prioritize farming safely and avoid extended trades before your first mana/AP item.
Use (E) and (Q) to poke when (Q) is on cooldown or missed.
Hold (W) to punish Dr. Mundo's attempts to engage or commit with (Q) slow.

Power spikes

After your first mana/AP item, pressure the wave and trades more confidently while tracking Dr. Mundo's defensive cooldowns.
Respect Dr. Mundo's level 6 (R) healing window by disengaging or kiting during its duration.
Dr. Mundo's health item spikes increase his durability; use sustained spell rotations to wear him down instead of burst trades.

Win conditions

Scale safely through controlled farming and waveclear, using (E) and (Q) to poke and (W) to punish engages.
Use your first item and level 6 (R) to pressure the wave and create map plays or picks.
Deny Dr. Mundo's health scaling by forcing sustained fights with your spell rotations and avoiding his healing windows.
