Infected Cleaver
QInfected CleaverCD 4s

Dr. Mundo hurls his cleaver, dealing damage equal to a portion of his target's current Health and slowing them for a short time. Dr. Mundo delights in the suffering of others, so he is returned half of the health cost when he successfully lands a cleaver.

Champion Tips

Riot official

Playing as

  • A well-timed Sadism can bait enemy champions into attacking you even when they lack the damage to finish you.
  • Spirit Visage will increase the healing done by your ultimate and lower cooldowns on all of your abilities.
  • Cleavers are a powerful tool for killing neutral monsters. Instead of returning to base, farm neutral monsters until your ultimate can heal you.

Playing against

  • Try to coordinate high-damage abilities with your allies right after Dr. Mundo uses his ultimate, but if you're unable to kill him quickly with burst he will heal through the damage.
  • Try casting Ignite when Dr. Mundo uses Sadism to negate a large portion of its healing.
