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 Kayn

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his Blade's Reach

    Dodge Blade's Reach (W): Umbral Trespass (R) can only target a champion he just damaged, and this ranged hit is how he marks you from range.

  2. Save your CC for his E

    If you have CC, land it during Shadow Step (E): once immobilized, he loses the spell and can't move through walls anymore.

  3. Save your spells for his exit

    Don't cast your spells during Umbral Trespass (R): hidden inside your ally, he's untargetable. Save them for when he bursts out.

  4. Ward your jungle too

    Ward your jungle too, not just the river: Shadow Step (E) lets him go through walls and show up from unexpected paths.

  5. Pressure him before he transforms

    Pressure him before his transformation: until he picks Rhaast or Shadow Assassin, The Darkin Scythe (passive) gives him no healing or bonus damage.
