Read from Darius's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Dr. Mundo.
This is Darius's own plan; across 3,852 pooled games the lane is leaning Dr. Mundo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Darius | Level 1 you out-trade before his sustain and cleaver matter. |
| Level 2 | Darius | Level 2 your bleed out-damages his weak early passive regen. |
| Level 3 | Darius | Level 3 both kits are full; spacing your pull decides the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Darius | Levels 4-5 outer-Q heals keep you ahead of his regen. |
| Level 6 | Dr. Mundo | At 6 Maximum Dosage heals through your 5-stack execute for Mundo. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | First item his HP and regen outrun your bleed DPS. |
| Two+ items | Dr. Mundo | Two-plus items: his ult heal and current-health cleaver make him unkillable. |
Levels 1-4 are your only real edge. Mundo's passive slowly regens missing health and his cleaver Q costs him HP to throw, so trade into every cleaver, land outer-Q edges for your own heal, and stack Hemorrhage while his sustain is still weak. Deny his farm to slow the scaling.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — protects your execute math. Build Stridebreaker (the stickiness fix — run-downs become lethal) first, then Sterak's Gage / Dead Man's Plate, with Plated Steelcaps.
