Guide to Countering Dr. Mundo as Xerath

Tips for Playing as Xerath against Dr. Mundo

If you stun an enemy with Shocking Orb, follow up with a guaranteed center hit on Eye of Destruction.

It's easier to land Arcanopulse on an enemy when they're moving toward or away from you, rather than side to side.

Eye of Destruction will make landing Arcanopulse easier as the target will be slowed.

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.
