Read from Gangplank's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Dr. Mundo.
This is Gangplank's own plan; across 2,560 pooled games the lane is leaning Dr. Mundo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Gangplank | Infected Bonesaw out-ranges Parrrley 975 to 625, but his regen has not ramped yet — chip him and bank a free barrel while you out-stat him. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | He starts spamming percent-HP Q cleavers that ignore your low durability, but you still chip back with ranged Parrrley last-hits — roughly even. |
| Level 3 | Dr. Mundo | His low-cooldown Q-spam plus passive heal out-sustains your single-keg chip, and he free-hits your low-HP barrels to deny the chain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Dr. Mundo | Infected Bonesaw is current-health poke on a 4s cooldown and his regen erases your barrel chip faster than you chain it — his strongest window. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Cannon Barrage gives you a global play he can't answer, but it doesn't win the 1v1 against a drain-tank, so the stage nets out even. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | Even at first items his percent-HP cleavers plus regen still beat your first keg spike one-for-one — you can't one-combo him yet. |
| Two+ items | Gangplank | With Sheen/Essence Reaver Parrrley a full chained keg detonation finally bursts past his regen — just kill him before Maximum Dosage heals it back. |
Mundo is one of the few melees you out-stat at level 1, but not on range — Infected Bonesaw reaches 975 to your Parrrley's 625, so you eat chip while you farm. Chip back and drop a barrel before his regen ramps. From level 3 his 4s Bonesaw plus Heart Zapper's healing end-burst out-sustains your single-keg chip. Don't trade autos, and never leave a barrel he can walk up and free-hit to deny the detonation — bait the Bonesaw, then last-hit with Parrrley.
