Read from Dr. Mundo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Poppy.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Poppy | Poppy's percent-HP Q punishes your health bar and wins the level-1 trade. |
| Level 2 | Poppy | At level 2 her Q chunk and buckler shield keep her ahead in trades. |
| Level 3 | Poppy | Level 3 her E wall-stun combo lets her punish you harder than you hit back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Poppy | Through 4-5 her percent damage keeps ignoring your HP-stacking identity. |
| Level 6 | Poppy | Her level-6 R interrupts your engages and out-trades your R sustain. |
| First item | Poppy | First-item tankiness fails against her percent Q, so the lane stays uphill. |
| Two+ items | Dr. Mundo | Only at 2+ items does your raw HP finally out-grind her burst — late flips to you. |
Poppy wins levels 1-3 hard: Hammer Shock (Q) chunks your health bar and Heroic Charge (E) wall-stuns you for a punishing follow-up. Steadfast Presence (W) only grounds what it stops dashing — you have no dash, so fight in open lane.
