StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Dr. MundoDr. Mundo owns level 1 — cleaver poke and regen flatly beat his weak early autos. Chip him for free.
Level 2Dr. MundoLevel 2 stays yours: your slow and raw tankiness mean no trade he takes turns a profit.
Level 3Dr. MundoLevel 3 is yours — the cleaver still out-values everything his pre-item kit produces.
Levels 4-5Even / skillLevels 4-5 go even as Wuju Style's true damage bites through health stacking. Armour won't help; the free lane ends.
Level 6Even / skillLevel 6 stays even — Highlander (85s) makes him slow-immune, so your Q stops kiting him for its whole duration.
First itemMaster YiFirst item is Master Yi's: true-damage DPS outpaces your regen and ignores every point of HP you stack. Stop soloing him.
Two+ itemsMaster YiTwo-plus items stay his — true damage kills even a full Mundo because it bypasses everything you build. Fight him with teammates or not at all.

How to beat Master Yi as Dr. Mundo: the early game

Bully the weakling phase. Cleaver poke plus your regen beats his feeble early autos, and at 3 the cleaver still out-values his pre-item damage. Alpha Strike costs 50 mana on a 20s cooldown and turns him untargetable, so don't spend into the dash. Chip him off CS relentlessly — this gold is your whole insurance policy.
