Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1HeimerdingerMundo's Adrenaline Rush regen is still thin and his mana-free cleaver costs current HP, while your banked turret and its slowing beam already deny his last-hits.
Level 2HeimerdingerYour second H-28G turret plus the electron beam fence off his cleaver-cast spot before his passive sustain and resists come online.
Level 3Even / skillIt's a wash here — your three turrets and CH-3X center-stun zone his CS, but his percent-HP cleaver and passive regen let him soak the chip and stay even.
Levels 4-5Dr. MundoHis 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 6Even / skillEven at 6 it's a trade — your UPGRADE!!! super-turret or wider stun extends the zone, but his itemized drain-tank pattern matches your turret damage exactly.
First itemDr. MundoSunfire/Heartsteel plus the cleaver let him out-stat the turret economy; he tanks the center-stun and the beams and reclaims the lane.
Two+ itemsEven / skillIt's a coin-flip on map state — Maximum Dosage makes him unkillable so neither of you 1v1s, and the game is decided by who used the early tempo better.

Early game (levels 1–5)

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 cleaver back up to refund mana-free poke. By Level 2-3 your second turret plus the slowing electron beam fence off his casting spot, and his Adrenaline Rush 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 your CH-3X grenade chasing a kill here; use the center-stun to deny CS and anchor the zone.
