Guide to Countering Dr. Mundo as Varus

Tips for Playing as Varus against Dr. Mundo

Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're trying to flee.

An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.

During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.

Advice to Win Against Dr. Mundo

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.
