Favour timeline — the windows in Lillia's game plan

Read from Lillia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Dr. Mundo.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1LilliaMundo is a weak laner with only Infected Bonesaw poke, and his fat throw can't hit a Lillia farming at Q range — you start the Dream Dust burn for free.
Level 2LilliaYour Q+E layering gives you stacking move speed he can never match, so you chip his bar with the sweetspot while staying out of cleaver range.
Level 3Even / skillEven split here — your DoT and his passive regen roughly cancel, so it's a farm phase where neither lands a clean kill.
Levels 4-5LilliaFull Q rank plus compounding Dream Dust grinds his HP faster than his passive heals it — your best lane window against a statcheck tank.
Level 6LilliaLilting Lullaby gives you anti-engage and jungler-setup, and you out-damage a Mundo who still can't catch your move-speed stacks.
First itemEven / skillYour window — Liandry's percent-HP burn punishes his giant pool faster than early defensive items and regen can blunt it.
Two+ itemsDr. MundoMundo's R Maximum Dosage heals through your full DoT once he hits 2-3 items — he reclaims the matchup as the unkillable drain-tank and you must disengage.

How to beat Dr. Mundo as Lillia: the early game

Mundo can't catch you and you can't be sawed if you respect his 975 Q range — last-hit with the tip of your Q and let the Dream Dust passive start ticking on him. At Levels 2-3 you layer the E slow into Q sweetspots and your move speed stacks until you're simply uncatchable, chipping his bar while he shrugs and farms. Don't greed into his Infected Bonesaw (Q) throw — it's his only poke, so weave between minions and never give him a free current-HP slice.
