Base Stats

Passive · Q · W · E · RDr. Mundo regenerates 0.3% of his maximum Health each second.

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.

Dr. Mundo drains his health to reduce the duration of disables and deal continual damage to nearby enemies.

Masochism increases Dr. Mundo's Attack Damage by a flat amount for 5 seconds. In addition, Dr. Mundo also gains an additional amount of Attack Damage for each percentage of Health he is missing.

Dr. Mundo sacrifices a portion of his Health for increased Movement Speed and drastically increased Health Regeneration.
Champion Tips
Riot officialPlaying 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.
