Playing as Dr. Mundo
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Vayne
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't fight with your back to a wall
Don't stand with your back to a wall against her: Condemn (E) knocks you back, and if you hit terrain, you're stunned.
- Short, repeated trades
Take short, repeated trades: she's fragile, and on the third consecutive hit on you, Silver Bolts (W) adds true damage based on your max health.
- Don't feed her kills during her ult
During Final Hour (R), back off rather than risk your life: each champion she kills after damaging them extends the effect.
