How to win lane as Illaoi against Dr. Mundo · 54.58% win rate over 1,092 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Illaoi | You win level 1 — Mundo's only poke is self-damaging Q while your tentacles hit free. |
| Level 2 | Illaoi | Level 2 stays yours as tentacle smashes out-trade his health-cost cleaver. |
| Level 3 | Illaoi | Level 3 is yours once E rips a Spirit and out-DPS's his regen. |
| Levels 4-5 | Illaoi | Levels 4-5 you keep control — he has no tool to stop your E-and-swarm pattern. |
| Level 6 | Illaoi | Level 6 R tentacle wall plus Spirit-slam beats his peel-less Maximum Dosage. |
| First item | Illaoi | First item you still out-damage his grey-health sustain with a landed E. |
| Two+ items | Dr. Mundo | Two-plus items flip to Dr. Mundo as full-tank HP and R healing outlast your Spirit. |
You dominate the opener. Mundo's Q Bonesaw is his only poke and it drains his own health, so you win every exchange with tentacle smashes while he can't punish you back. Bully him off the wave.
