Favour timeline — the windows in Sejuani's game plan

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

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillBoth champions are level 1 with minimal threat — Mundo's Q has percent-HP poke range but you can avoid it by hugging the wave edge; neither side has a kill pattern yet.
Level 2Even / skillYour Q gives you an escape option but your damage is still too low to complete a kill combo before his passive regeneration undoes the trade.
Level 3Dr. MundoHeart Zapper's burst fires the moment you close range — your Frost-stack pattern requires two W strikes to land before E stuns, but his W damage and heal land in the same instant your engage does, winning the exchange.
Levels 4-5Dr. MundoHis percent-HP Q chips you at 975 range so you never break combat and Frost Armor never returns — though while it does hold, it makes you immune to that Q slow. Without an item your stun does not hurt enough.
Level 6Even / skillGlacial Prison is your first ranged threat, but Goes Where He Pleases eats the first immobilise — spend Permafrost to pop the cannister, then land R, and call the jungler.
First itemDr. MundoHis first item lands with Heartsteel stacks already banked from absorbing your poke — his HP pool now makes your CC chain a speed bump rather than a kill window, and his Q poke percentage scales with that HP.
Two+ itemsEven / skillBoth tanks are scaling into teamfight assets — your R can decide an objective fight across the map, so the lane 1v1 verdict is irrelevant as long as your CC lands where it matters.

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

At level 1 take W and hit the wave — you have no kill threat and neither does he, but his Q cleaver already deals percent-current-HP magic damage that strips your passive Permafrost armor before you can do anything. Hug the edge of minion range and let your wave freeze near your tower; a freeze here denies him plate gold while keeping his Q from reaching you on cooldown. Do not auto-attack him to try to stack Frost — his Q has longer effective range than your autos at level 1, and every trade you force lets his passive regen undo the damage before your W double-strike completes.
