Dr. Mundo vs Malphite

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Focus on surviving early with safe (Q) farming and avoid extended trades before health scaling.
This is a scaling vs scaling lane where Mundo must avoid giving Malphite a passive lane and deny easy scaling by maintaining pressure.
Mundo aims to outlast Malphite through health scaling and (R) healing, absorbing damage in side lanes and front-to-back fights.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) to manage spacing and take short, controlled trades when it lands repeatedly.
Avoid trading if (Q) misses or your passive crowd control block is down, as Malphite's engage and poke become more threatening.
Extend trades only when (R) is up to leverage healing and movement speed, forcing Malphite to disengage or lose the fight.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) is available, especially if he can hit multiple targets with it.
Vulnerable before level 6 and before your first health item when your healing and durability are lower.
Avoid extended trades when your (Q) misses or your passive crowd control block is down, as Malphite can capitalize on these moments.

Early game

Use (Q) to farm safely and poke from range without missing to avoid giving Malphite free trades.
Avoid extended early trades before level 6 and health item spikes to reduce risk from Malphite's poke and shield.
Respect (Q) slow and shield; position to minimize damage and avoid getting locked down before your (R) is available.

Power spikes

After your first health item, pressure side waves to force Malphite to spend time cutting through your durability.
Respect Malphite's level 6 (R) engage threat by maintaining spacing and avoiding grouped fights without your (R) ready.
