Read from Dr. Mundo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Gnar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Gnar | Mini Gnar kites and out-pokes you at level 1 with Q and W. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | His level 2 ranged harass keeps him ahead before your sustain. |
| Level 3 | Dr. Mundo | At 3 Heart Zapper's burst heal flips the lane to you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Dr. Mundo | Levels 4-5 stay yours as you out-sustain his poke. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 his Rage bar, not the level, sets the burst window — Skill. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | First item's HP stack out-lasts Mini poke — Dr. Mundo. |
| Two+ items | Dr. Mundo | Late, you out-sustain Mini Gnar and only respect the Mega window. |
Mini Gnar kites you at levels 1-2 with Q Boomerang Throw and W Hyper on-hit poke, so eat some chip and farm. From level 3 you stabilize — Q Infected Bonesaw sustains the harass and E Blunt Force Trauma punishes every auto step-in. Close when his Q is down and his E Hop can't reset the spacing.
