Read from Dr. Mundo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Nasus.
This is Dr. Mundo's own plan; across 1,246 pooled games the lane is leaning Nasus.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Nasus is a weak early duelist and your Q slow plus E out-trade him at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 he's stuck farming stacks while you pressure freely. |
| Level 3 | Dr. Mundo | Level 3 you punish his last-hitting and deny Siphoning Strike stacks. |
| Levels 4-5 | Dr. Mundo | Through 4-5 your combat still beats his pre-stack kit and you own tempo. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 his R buffs him but stacks are his real power and your R out-sustains him. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item it's a skill window depending on the stack deficit you built. |
| Two+ items | Nasus | By 2+ items a fully-stacked Q does percent-max damage and Wither neuters you — his scaling wins. |
You dominate early Nasus. He's a farm-hungry scaler forced to last-hit for Siphoning Strike (Q) stacks, with only Wither (W) for defence — and your Q Infected Bonesaw slow plus E Blunt Force Trauma out-trade his feeble early combat. Punish him every time he reaches for a stack, deny CS, and slow his scaling. This lane is won or lost right here.
