How to win lane as Vladimir against Dr. Mundo · 49.44% win rate over 629 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even before your Transfusion sustain outpaces his cleaver poke. |
| Level 2 | Vladimir | Level 2 favours you as you heal through Bonesaw and punish its HP cost. |
| Level 3 | Vladimir | Level 3 stays yours — your poke and sustain beat his self-damaging cleavers. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vladimir | Through levels 4-5 you free-farm since he can't punish your sustained lane. |
| Level 6 | Vladimir | Level 6 is still yours — Maximum Dosage saves him but can't turn a trade. |
| First item | Vladimir | First item favours you as Hemoplague amp starts shredding his HP bar. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | With two-plus items your %-amp and DPS out-scale his tanky stacking entirely. |
Level 1 is roughly even, but from level 2 on this lane is yours: Mundo's only real poke is Infected Bonesaw (Q), and every cleaver costs him max HP that your Transfusion (Q) simply heals back. Dodge the cleavers, don't get greedy walking into his slow, and you win the sustain war outright.
