Darius vs Dr. Mundo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use your early lane pressure and (E) pull threat to force Dr. Mundo into passive farming and deny his health scaling window.
Prioritize extended trades to stack your passive and leverage (Q) outer blade healing against his poke and sustain.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup; snowball early kills to prevent Mundo from reaching his tanky mid-game spikes.

Trading pattern

Use (E) to pull Mundo when he is overextended or after he misses (Q), then follow up with (W) and auto attacks to build passive stacks.
Prioritize landing the outer edge of (Q) for healing and damage to outlast his poke and force him out of lane.
Avoid short trades that end before five passive stacks; commit to extended fights where your bleed damage and (R) execute are threatening.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Mundo's (R) is active as his healing and movement make extended trades risky.
Avoid engaging when your (E) pull is on cooldown, as Mundo can kite and disengage more effectively.
Respect Mundo's (Q) slow and cleaver poke to prevent being chunked before you can stack passive.

Early game

Start aggressive early levels by threatening (E) pulls when Mundo steps up to farm to force short trades in your favor.
Avoid letting Mundo freely farm with (Q) cleaver; punish missed cleavers by engaging longer trades.
Use (Q) outer edge to heal through his poke and maintain lane presence before level 6.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use (R) execute after stacking passive to finish Mundo before he can activate (R) healing.
First bruiser item: Use increased durability and damage to force longer trades and punish Mundo's missed (Q).
Respect Mundo's (R) healing and movement speed; avoid committing to all-ins when his ultimate is active.

Win conditions

Deny Mundo safe farming by forcing him into extended trades with (E) pulls and (Q) healing to snowball kills pre-level 6.
Use level 6 (R) execute resets to secure kills and snowball lane dominance.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Mundo from reaching health-scaling item spikes and force side-lane control through kills and resets.
