Dr. Mundo vs Vladimir

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

This is a scaling juggernaut vs scaling mage matchup where Mundo aims to survive early poke and outlast Vladimir's burst with health and healing.
Mundo should avoid giving Vladimir a passive lane by using (Q) to farm safely and deny easy empowered (Q) trades.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (Q) lands repeatedly to slow Vladimir and create chase or disengage space.
Use Mundo's passive to block Vladimir's key crowd control or engage attempts.
Avoid trading when (Q) misses or (R) is down, as Mundo lacks hard engage and burst to punish Vladimir's short trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Vladimir's empowered (Q) is ready, as short trades become lethal.
Avoid fighting when (W) is available, as he can become untargetable and negate Mundo's damage or crowd control.
Mundo is vulnerable before level 6 and before health scaling items; avoid extended trades or all-ins during this window.

Early game

Use (Q) to safely farm and poke from range without overcommitting before level 6.
Avoid extended trades early as missing (Q) leaves Mundo vulnerable to Vladimir's empowered (Q).
Respect (W) untargetability and avoid forcing trades when it is available.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) before Vladimir's burst to heal through damage and chase or disengage the fight.
Mundo's first health item spike greatly increases durability, allowing longer trades against Vladimir's burst.
Respect Vladimir's level 6 (R) burst window by not engaging without (R) active or cooldowns ready.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by farming safely with (Q) and using passive to block key crowd control.
Outscale Vladimir by reaching health item spikes and using (R) to absorb burst and sustain in fights.
Pressure side lanes with durable health scaling to force Vladimir to spend time cutting through Mundo's tankiness rather than freely farming.
