Read from Aurora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Dr. Mundo.
This is Aurora's own plan; across 1,061 pooled games the lane is leaning Dr. Mundo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Aurora | Mundo is the weakest level-1 here — one cleaver, no dash — so a Twofold Hex (Q) cast-and-recast double-hit chunks him for free before his regen matters. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | He gets his cleaver but you get your Q plus Spirit Abjuration sustain — neither can hard-commit, so first-blood pressure hinges on who whiffs a cleaver dodge. |
| Level 3 | Dr. Mundo | With cleaver and passive heal both online his percent-HP chip out-sustains your spirit heals and he can shove you off the wave. |
| Levels 4-5 | Dr. Mundo | Levels 3-5 his heal-through-trades plus cleaver slow let him walk you down the moment your Across the Veil (W) leap is down. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Between Worlds rifts you out of Heart Zapper's 325-unit burst, so it heals him nothing — your clean all-in before Maximum Dosage. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | His first-item sustain out-heals your early item poke spike, so the war of attrition tilts back toward Mundo. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Maximum Dosage (R) regens most of a health bar so you can't close the kill, but your W/R escape means he can't catch you either — a stalemate. |
Mundo can only throw cleavers (Q) at level 1 and has no escape, so step up and chunk him with a Twofold Hex (Q) — fire it through him, then recast to drag the curse back for a second hit while your Spirit Abjuration spirits heal you through his return poke. The problem starts once his Q and passive are both online: the cleaver's percent-HP chip plus his passive heal (a sizable tick every few seconds) out-sustains your poke, and a whiffed cleaver is the only real mistake you can tax. Last-hit at Q range, never eat free cleaver poke, and don't burn your Across the Veil (W) leap dodging a single cleaver when you'll want it for a committed trade.
