Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
STARTING ITEM
Always go for Ruby Crystal gives you lots of HP (+150) (820 TOTAL HP AT LVL1). Great for sustain from your passive Adrenaline Rush and clearing jungle without loosing too much HP.
FIRST BACK
For first back you must buy Bami's Cinder On your first back you should have around 1200 gold and 1600 gold so you still have 600-1000 gold.
Here are some combinations to keep in mind:
- Bami's Cinder + Boots of Speed
- Bami's Cinder + Mercury's Treads or Plated Steelcaps
- Bami's Cinder + Kindlegem + Boots of Speed (go for this one if you feel confy and have +2000 gold)
CORE ITEMS
Sunfire Aegis is love Sunfire Aegis is live. The most important item is Sunfire Aegis why? here are the pros:
- Gives you juicy HP (+500)
- Gives you tons of damage (Once you have it you can rush drakes and barons by your own. No joke)
- Looks great on you.
For second item you will go for Spirit Visage (most of the time) it depends on if the enemy team has an AP MID/TOP/JG. If they're full AD go for Thornmail / Randuin's Omen / Dead Man's Plate depending on what you need.
- Too much healing? (Nami/Akali/BORK) Thornmail
- Crit carrys are a problem? (Yasuo/Corki/Jinx) Randuin's Omen
- You want to chase your oponents until the nexus. Dead Man's Plate
NEXT 4 ITEMS
It's time for upgrade the boots (in case you didn't bought them on your first back).
- Against AA champs (Yasuo/Jax/Kai'Sa) or HEAVY AD/FULL AD comp Plated Steelcaps
- Against HARD CC (Braum/Alistar/Nami) Mercury's Treads (eventhough Burning Agony gives you tenacity, adding Mercury's Treads makes you nearly invulnerable to CC)
Don't forget to upgrade them to TIER 3. I use Protobelt Enchant but feel free to try whatever you want.
For fourth item we have the mighty Warmog's Armor I love this item!!!
- TONS OF HP (+800)
- If you scape from death just hide on bush and get full HP in seconds.
- Looks fancy on you.
BUT if you need armor Randuin's Omen it's the best option in most of the situations.
Fifth item if you haven't built Warmog's Armor do it NOW!!!
And Last but not least the sixth item
There are a lot of options:
- Force of Nature if they have tons of AP damage.
- Dead Man's Plate if you want more movement speed.
- Thornmail if they have too much healing.
- Guardian Angel why not?
- Sterak's Gage only if you are 15/1/3.
Full build examples:
Sunfire Aegis > Spirit Visage > Randuin's Omen > Protobelt Enchant > Warmog's Armor > Dead Man's Plate (This one is my standard build)
Sunfire Aegis > Dead Man's Plate > Randuin's Omen > Protobelt Enchant > Warmog's Armor > Thornmail (against FULL AD team)
Sunfire Aegis > Spirit Visage > Force of Nature > Protobelt Enchant > Warmog's Armor > Sterak's Gage (against FULL AP team, pretty rare)
Sunfire Aegis > Spirit Visage > Randuin's Omen > Protobelt Enchant > Force of Nature > Dead Man's Plate (against hybrid comps TOO MUCH AD and AP)
Remember that this is just a guide. Itemization is situational so trough playing and getting experience you will always know what you have to build in any situation.

RUNES
Fleet Footwork is the best rune for jungle Mundo.
- Gives you a lot of sustain.
- Potential 1 vs 1 outplay due to rune's healing.
- Allows you to chase your opponents easily due to movement speed.
- Takedowns restore 10% of your missing health (free healing for Mundo).
- Extra damage (nice for 1 vs 1 fights).
- More tenacity for Mundo.
- Currently it is the only rune from this branch that actually works well with Mundo.
- As we are the jungler we have to secure objectives so this rune gives you 10% bonus adaptative damage to TURRETS and 10% bonus TRUE DAMAGE to EPIC MONSTERS.
- Also gives +120 gold for each turret or epic monster we take.
- Just like Hunter Titan is the only rune from this branch that actually works well with Mundo.

Combos
Learn how to maximize the champions potential
The most basic combo. Allows you to attack 2 times in 1 second. Usefull for clearing jungle and trading. Use E right after you cast the auto attack for cancelling the animation (you will still doing damage don't worry).
Similar to the first combo. Flash will cancel the animation and it will be an instant E. (Usefull for securing kills)
Engage with infected cleaver to slow and get close to the enemy, use the animation cancel and burning agony for extra damage.
This one is for engage the enemy team. Burning agony for tenacity, then protobelt for gap closer, infected cleaver for slow, Sadism for endure the damage and masochism to deal big damage on your next auto attack.

General match up:
Amumu isn't a big deal since he is tank and don't have too much damage compared to Dr. Mundo. However his lvl 5 powerspike is important so always be careful.

- You are superior since you don't use mana, this is a huge advantage.
- More damage than him.
1 vs 1 at river:
- He can't respond 1 vs 1 fight in river.
