Vladimir vs Dr. Mundo

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Play a low-pressure lane focused on farming safely and using (Q) sustain to survive Dr. Mundo's poke and health scaling.
Avoid giving Dr. Mundo a passive lane by applying measured wave pressure without forcing early all-ins.
Prioritize scaling into mid and late game where your burst and teamfight (R) can outvalue Mundo's durability.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts around empowered (Q) windows to maximize healing and damage while minimizing retaliation.
Punish Mundo when his (Q) cleaver misses or (W) is down, as his poke and sustain weaken.
Save (W) to avoid Mundo's (Q) slow or to negate his burst, then punish the long cooldown before it returns.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Mundo's (Q) lands repeatedly, as he can chase or disengage effectively.
Respect Mundo's (R) healing and movement speed; avoid committing fully when it is active.
Avoid forcing trades when your (W) is on cooldown, as you lose your main defensive tool against his engage.

Early game

Use (Q) to sustain through Mundo's poke and avoid extended trades before your empowered (Q) is ready.
Avoid using (W) for minor trades to preserve it for denying Mundo's key engages or cleaver slows.
Focus on farming safely and do not overcommit before level 6 when your all-in threat significantly increases.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten all-ins or teamfights; track Mundo's (R) cooldown to avoid his healing window.
After your first completed AP item, pressure trades more confidently while respecting Mundo's passive and (R).
Respect Mundo's health item spikes and (R) healing by timing your burst and avoiding prolonged fights without cooldowns.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by using (Q) sustain and avoiding forced fights until empowered (Q) and (R) are available.
Exploit Mundo's vulnerability when his (W) or (Q) miss by taking short trades and wave pressure.
Scale into mid and late game to use your burst (R) in grouped fights and teamfights, where Mundo's durability is less effective.
