Read from Gragas's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Dr. Mundo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Gragas | Mundo is a weak level-1 whose Infected Bonesaw costs HP to throw and barely chunks, so one ferment-detonated Barrel Roll lands the only free trade before his passive regen ramps up. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Both of you are clunky at 2 — your Q-poke plus Happy Hour sustain trade is even against his early Bonesaw poke before his regen scales. |
| Level 3 | Dr. Mundo | Without your full combo your cooldowns are long and his percent-HP Bonesaw plus passive regen start grinding your HP faster than Happy Hour restores it. |
| Levels 4-5 | Dr. Mundo | His Infected Bonesaw percent-HP poke shreds your big HP bar and his passive regen heals it back, so he out-sustains every extended trade through levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Your E-W-Q into Explosive Cask is a real all-in, but Maximum Dosage heals a huge chunk, so the 6 window is a coin-flip on whether his ult is up. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | His passive regen, first tank item and percent-HP Bonesaw out-sustain your burst, making this his peak relative-strength window. |
| Two+ items | Dr. Mundo | He is a near-unkillable drain-tank late, but your Explosive Cask peel and engage keep you relevant in the teamfight even though you lose the duel. |
Mundo is weak at level 1: Infected Bonesaw costs him flat HP to throw and does not chunk yet, so detonate a Barrel Roll on the ferment over the wave for the one clean trade you get before his passive regen ramps up. Once you both have a few points his Q percent-HP poke plus that regen start out-sustaining your Happy Hour, so do not throw a telegraphed Body Slam into his minions chasing a fight. Last-hit with Q and hold E as an escape, not an engage, until you have your full combo online.
