Read from Dr. Mundo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Graves.
This is Dr. Mundo's own plan; across 4,113 pooled games the lane is Dr. Mundo-favoured.
| 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 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even: Quickdraw's True Grit armor answers your first real trade. |
| 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 is yours: Maximum Dosage out-heals his burst and he owns no CC to peel you off. |
| 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 his crit-lethality still stings, but no Graves solo-kills a Warmog's Mundo. |
Graves owns the first three levels — a loaded New Destiny plus Quickdraw's True Grit armor out-trades you, so farm at range and never step into a fresh End of the Line with your E on cooldown.
