How to win lane as Dr. Mundo against Graves · 55.12% win rate over 4,113 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Graves | Level 1 is Graves' — a single Buckshot out-damages your unarmored HP. |
| Level 2 | Graves | Level 2 favours him as his shell reload and E armor win short trades. |
| Level 3 | Graves | Level 3 stays his: full Q plus E True Grit out-trades your early kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Dr. Mundo | Level 4 tips to you — E Blunt Force Trauma lets you stick and Q through his kite. |
| Level 6 | Graves | Level 6 favours Graves because Smoke Screen into Buckshot bursts you before your ult stabilizes. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | On first item your W and sustain out-value his reload cadence, favouring you. |
| Two+ items | Graves | With two-plus items Graves' crit-lethality burst punches through your armor, so he edges the late game. |
Graves owns the first three levels — double Buckshot shells plus E True Grit's armor let him out-trade and out-armor you, so farm at range and never walk into a fresh Q with your E on cooldown.
