Read from Heimerdinger's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Dr. Mundo.
This is Heimerdinger's own plan; across 502 pooled games the lane is leaning Dr. Mundo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Mundo's regen is still thin and his mana-free cleaver only chips, while your banked turret and its pass-through beam already deny him last-hits from minute one. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Your second H-28G turret plus its pass-through beam fence off his cleaver-cast spot before his passive regen and resists come online. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Three turrets and the CH-2 direct-hit stun zone his CS outright — his passive regen soaks the chip, but he cannot contest the wave from 975 range alone. |
| Levels 4-5 | Dr. Mundo | His first tank item lands and his current-HP cleaver plus passive regen heal through the whole nest, so he facetanks the beams and walks you down through the slows. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is yours: UPGRADE!!! turns CH-2 into a far longer stun, and his Goes Where He Pleases passive has usually eaten one immobilize already. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | Sunfire/Heartsteel plus the cleaver let him out-stat the turret economy; he tanks the stun and the beams and reclaims the lane. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Maximum Dosage heals a percent of missing health on a flat 120s — stacked with tank items, neither three turrets nor a stun out-damage it. |
Mundo is one of the weakest early laners in the game and your turret nest punishes exactly that. Level 1 you have only one charged turret and no stun, so don't shove into his cleaver — bank charges and respect that he picks the dropped cannister back up to refund health. By Level 2-3 your second turret plus its pass-through beam fence off his casting spot, and his regen is still too thin to soak your turret damage and trade back, so you zone his last-hits and chip him out. Don't burn CH-2 chasing a kill here; his passive eats the first immobilize anyway.
