Guide to Countering Illaoi as Dr. Mundo

Tips for Playing as Dr. Mundo against Illaoi

Cleavers are a powerful tool for killing neutral monsters. Instead of returning to base, farm neutral monsters until your ultimate can heal you.

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.

Advice to Win Against Illaoi

Killing Tentacles whenever possible will make it much easier to win a fight against Illaoi.

When your spirit gets pulled out, fight back if you can. Dealing damage to Illaoi reduces the spirit's duration.

Avoid grouping up for Leap of Faith to reduce the number of Tentacles available to Illaoi.
