Read from Zaahen's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Dr. Mundo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even before cooldowns and self-costs come into play. |
| Level 2 | Zaahen | You favour level 2 because his Q Infected Bonesaw is slow, dodgeable, and costs him health you punish. |
| Level 3 | Zaahen | You keep level 3 as your Q and E out-trade a champion whose only tool is that health-draining Bonesaw. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 flatten to even as he stabilizes farm and edges toward his ultimate spike. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even because his fresh R heal offsets your remaining kill pressure. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | At first item Mundo's health stacking and R regen out-sustain your burst, handing him the edge. |
| Two+ items | Dr. Mundo | At two-plus items he's an unkillable regen tank your combo simply can't kill. |
Level 1-2 is even at first, but by level 2 you pull ahead: Mundo pays health for every Q Infected Bonesaw and it's a slow, dodgeable throw, so you trade up while your passive Cultivation of War heals you back.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Eclipse (the safe default spike) first, then Sterak's Gage, with Plated Steelcaps.
