Dr. Mundo Champion Abilities
Goes Where He Pleases
Dr. Mundo resists the first Immobilizing effect that hits him, instead losing 3% of his current health and dropping a chemical cannister nearby for 7 seconds. Moving over it reduces this ability's cooldown by 15 seconds and restores 4% of his max health. Enemy champions moving over the cannister destroy it.
Dr. Mundo regenerates 0.4-2.5% max health every 5 seconds.
P
Infected Bonesaw
Dr. Mundo hurls his bonesaw, dealing 20 / 22.5 / 25 / 27.5 / 30% of target's current health as magic damage to the first enemy hit and slowing them by 40% for 2 seconds.
If the bonesaw hits a champion or monster, Dr. Mundo heals for 100% health. If it hits a non-champion or non-monster, Dr. Mundo instead heals for 50% health.
Q
Heart Zapper
Dr. Mundo charges up a defibrilator, dealing 5 / 8.75 / 12.5 / 16.25 / 20 magic damage each second for up to 3 seconds to nearby enemies. Additionally he stores 80-95% of damage taken for the first 0.75 seconds and 25% for the remaining duration as gray health and can Recast.
Recast: Detonate the defibrilator, dealing 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 / 80 (+7% bonus health) magic damage to nearby enemies. If this hits at least one champion, Dr. Mundo restores 100% of gray health, otherwise he instead restores 50% of gray health.

If the enemy is killed, Mundo swats them away, dealing 100% physical damage to enemies they pass through.

Dr. Mundo Tips and Tricks
- Use your Q to farm effectively, especially in unfavorable matchups. Execute the minion to get the full cost back.
- Always auto-attack the enemy before using your R, as it acts as an auto-attack reset and provides extra damage.
- Pop your R as soon as you know you're in for the long run, as it can save your life. Waiting too long may result in it being less effective, and you might die before it can help.
