How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his cleaver

Hide behind minions so his Q cleaver can't reach you — deny that poke and he has nothing to trade with.

Run him down

You out-duel Mundo at every point of the game — all-in whenever you want and win the extended trade, because he can't punish you back.

Hold your Q

Don't burn Q on cooldown to farm — hold it to punish Mundo when he steps up for a cleaver or a last-hit.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never eat his Q cleaver out in the open — it's the one bit of pressure Mundo has, and standing behind minions shuts it off.
