Playing as Dr. Mundo

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke with your bonesaw

    Poke with Infected Bonesaw (Q): it slows the first enemy hit, deals damage based on their current health and restores your health.

  2. Pick up your canister

    Pick up the Goes Where He Pleases (passive) canister after resisting a CC: it restores health and lowers the passive's cooldown.

  3. Detonate your Heart Zapper

    Recast Heart Zapper (W) next to a champion: the burst heals you for a bigger share of the stored damage if it hits a champion.

  4. Cast your R after taking damage

    Cast Maximum Dosage (R) once you've taken damage, not before the fight: the instant heal depends on your missing health, then you regenerate part of your max health.

Playing against Gwen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Enter her mist or wait

    To hit her during Hallowed Mist (W), walk into the mist or wait for it to fade: from outside, you can't target her.

  2. Trade before her 4 autos

    Take short trades before she lands 4 autos: each one adds a snip to Snip Snip! (Q).

  3. Get out of her needles' path

    Step out of the Needlework (R) line: she can recast it twice within 6 seconds, with three then five needles.

  4. Send two to answer her split

    Answer her split push with two players rather than alone: A Thousand Cuts (passive) heals her on every auto against a champion.
