Olaf vs Dr. Mundo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Olaf should pressure early to deny Dr. Mundo safe scaling and force extended fights where his axe slow and true damage excel.
Use Olaf's high early agency and lane pressure to prevent Mundo from farming comfortably and reaching his health scaling.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing (Q) and picking it up to keep Mundo slowed and under pressure.
Extend fights with (E) true damage and activate (R) only when Mundo cannot disengage to ignore his passive crowd control block.
Punish Mundo's missed (Q) by committing to all-ins before he gains health scaling and item durability.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Mundo's (R) is active, as his healing and movement make extended fights risky.
Avoid fighting when (Q) is on cooldown or missed, as Mundo can safely farm or trade back.
Respect Mundo's passive crowd control block; don't rely on crowd control to start fights without (R) active.

Early game

Start with aggressive (Q) throws to slow Mundo and force him to miss cleavers or take short trades.
Use (W) shield and attack speed to sustain through Mundo's poke and win early extended trades.
Avoid missing (Q) as it drops Olaf's chase potential and lets Mundo farm safely.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to ignore Mundo's passive crowd control and force straight-line fights; avoid activating (R) if Mundo can kite you.
After first fighter item, increase pressure on Mundo by chasing longer and forcing him to spend time cutting through your damage.
Respect Mundo's level 6 (R) healing and movement speed; avoid committing when his healing window is active.

Win conditions

Win by landing repeated (Q) slows and forcing extended all-ins where Olaf's true damage and shield out-trade Mundo's sustain.
Use (R) to negate Mundo's passive and any crowd control, committing only when Mundo cannot kite away.
Deny Mundo safe farming and scaling by maintaining lane pressure and punishing missed cleavers before he becomes tanky.
