TopPatch 16.2.1
What They Do

Abilities (What to Watch For)
| Ability | What You'll See | What It Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| A shield icon around him; a chemical canister drops nearby when he's hit by CC | He ignores the first immobilizing effect. If he picks up the canister, he heals and reduces the cooldown of . Step on the canister to destroy it. | |
| He throws a cleaver in a line | Deals damage based on your current health and slows you. It has a high health cost if he misses, so dodge it to make him hurt himself. Always hide behind minions. | |
| An electric circle around him | Deals damage over time and stores damage taken as grey health. When it ends, he deals a burst; if that burst hits you, he heals. Back away when the circle is about to pop. | |
| A heavy bag slam; minions fly backward if killed | Passive AD based on his Max HP. The active deals damage based on HIS missing health. If he kills a minion with , it travels through you like a projectile. | |
| He grows larger and glows green/purple | An instant burst of missing health healing followed by massive health regeneration and movement speed. You must have Grievous Wounds to kill him during this. |
Respect
- !The Canister→If he picks this up, he gains a massive health burst and gets his CC immunity back faster. You must win the race to step on it.
- !Low HP Baiting→ deals significantly more damage when he is low, and heals him based on missing health. He is most dangerous when he looks 'killable'.
- !Chain Slows→The slow is 40% and the cooldown is short. If you get hit by one while away from your tower, he can run you down with consecutive hits.
- !Level 11 and 16 Power Spikes→The health regeneration on increases massively at these levels. Without dedicated anti-tank items, you cannot outdamage his healing.
Punish
- +is on cooldown→The cooldown is long (60-15s). Once his shield is popped, he is vulnerable to your jungler's CC or your own all-in.
- +Early Laning (Levels 1-5)→He is much squishier than other tanks early. Punish him every time he walks up to last hit with before he gets HP items.
- +Missed →It costs him health to cast. If he misses, he loses health for nothing and loses his only way to keep you at a distance. Aggress immediately.
- +Whiff→If he ends without hitting a champion, he doesn't get the heal from his grey health. Trade heavily right after the electricity fades.
Laning Tips
- •Step on the canister from immediately. It's more important than landing one auto-attack.
- •Stay behind your minions. cannot pass through them, but watch out for his shrapnel.
- •Rush Executioner's Calling or Bramble Vest. Do not wait until level 11 to buy anti-heal.
- •Don't stand behind low-health minions. He will use to execute them and poke you for free.
- •Save your ignite or high-damage burst until after he presses to negate the 'Missing HP' heal.
- •If he is standing in his wave, he is vulnerable. He has no mobility or dashes to escape a hard engage.
Teamfight Warning
- ⚠Apply Grievous Wounds as soon as the fight starts. You cannot wait for him to get low.
- ⚠Don't waste your primary CC (like Malphite R) while his is up. Pop it with a small slow or root first.
- ⚠Mundo wants to walk past your frontline to sit on your ADC. Your backline needs % Health damage (BORK/Liandry's) to stop him.
- ⚠Avoid clumping when he uses . He heals more for every champion he hits with the final burst.
- ⚠If your team doesn't have the damage to kill him during , focus his teammates and kite him back instead.
