Nasus vs Dr. Mundo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize safe farming and stacking (Q) to reach your late-game juggernaut strength against Dr. Mundo.
Avoid giving Mundo a passive lane to freely scale; maintain controlled wave near your side to deny him easy farm.
This is a scaling vs scaling matchup where Nasus must survive early and leverage side-lane pressure post-level 6.

Trading pattern

Trade only when you have (W) available to slow Mundo and when the wave is near your side for safe retreat.
Avoid fighting Mundo before meaningful (Q) stacks and before you have (R) for durability.
Use (R) to survive extended fights and punish Mundo if he stays in range too long, leveraging your stacking damage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Mundo's (R) is active, as his healing and movement make him hard to kill in extended fights.
Avoid fighting without (W) available since Mundo can kite and disengage effectively.
Watch for Mundo landing multiple (Q) cleavers in a row, as this creates chase and disengage space that can punish you.

Early game

Focus on last-hitting with (Q) to build stacks while avoiding extended trades before level 6.
Use (W) to punish Mundo's overextensions but avoid using it early if he can disengage and re-engage.
Keep the wave close to your tower to minimize Mundo's chance to freeze or force all-ins.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) to gain durability and extended fight potential; use it to hold ground against Mundo's healing window.
Once you have high (Q) stacks and defensive items, pressure side lanes to force Mundo to respond.
Respect Mundo's level 6 (R) healing and movement speed; avoid committing to fights during his active healing phase.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by safely stacking (Q) and using (W) to punish Mundo's overextensions.
Reach level 6 and item thresholds to become a durable side-lane threat that Mundo must respect.
Force extended duels with (R) active and high (Q) stacks, leveraging your slow and damage to win 1v1s and pressure side lanes.
