• Introduction

  Thanks for checkin' out my guide. It's my first one, so bear with me if it's not, well, great. Constructive Criticism is welcomed.
  
  If you're looking for the second build, and the masteries/runes/ect, for it, it's referred to as YGTTD (You gotta try to die).
  
  EDIT: 10/25/10 Added a new build and new masteries to go with it. And edited a few other things.
  
  EDIT: 12/19/19 Nothing new for Mundo for a while... Haven't really updated anything. (Btw, I'm planning on experimenting with DPS Mundo soon.)

• Abilities

  Adrenaline Rush

  Pretty good passive. Gives you mad health regen.

  Infected Cleaver

  Your best friend. Deals a percent of their health AND slows them. Good early game, mid game, late game, and hell, even after the game while you're on the way home to see Momma Mundo. Basically, use it when you can, either to last hit minions, harass the enemy, or just... whenever.

  Burning Agony

  Kinda like a Sunfire Cape, but doesn't give you armor, doesn't give you health, and deals damage do you per second you have it active.

  Masochism

  Extra damage at the cost of a few health? I'll take it.

  Sadism

  Kinda like being an emo kid. You cut yourself, but you gain hella health regen and move speed. Use it often.

• Masteries + Runes

  http://leaguecraft.com/masteries/3100440132300100000000000000030140000000000
  
  It's just what I use. Don't like it? Don't use it.
  Or feel free to take the gist of it, and modify it as you please. Might not get the same results.
  
  As for runes, I like:
  
  Greater Mark of Insightx9
  Greater Seal of Resiliencex9
  Greater Glyph of Celerityx9
  Greater Quintessence of Fortitudex3
  
  It's just what I use. Don't like it? Don't use it.
  Or feel free to take the gist of it, and modify it as you please. Might not get the same results.
  
  For YGTTD:

  And use the same runes.

• Skilling Order

  
  
  Just preference. Good for harassing early, and by the time you get into the team fight phase, you'll be good to go.

• Summoner Abilities

  Ghost is, without a doubt, extremely helpful.
  
  As for the second, I prefer Exhaust.
  
  Somebody has brought to my attention the fact that with Merc's Treads and Burning Agony, they essentially work as Cleanse, so just go with Exhaust.

• Items

  My usual setup:
  
  First: Regrowth Pendant (Warmog's is a big thing in this build) and a Health Potion.
  Next trip back: Look at how everything's going. I normally grab a Ruby Crystal and Boots of Speed.
  Next: Alright, hopefully you've got some gold. Finish your boots (I usually get Mercury's Treads, but it really just depends on the team. If you still have the cash, grab a Giant's Belt now. If not, you'll snag it up in a bit.
  Neeeext: Finish up Warmog's Armor if you can. If not, grab Spirit Visage. Now, you're gonna need to go farm a bit for some cash.
  Next: Finish up Warmog's Armor, assuming you didn't before. If you did, get Spirit Visage. You'll have some more cash, so grab a Chain Vest.
  Next: Now, depending on the other team, you're gonna get either Sunfire Cape or Thornmail. Sunfire Cape is generally what I get here, but if they have an annoying Physical DPS (**Cough**Yi**Cough**) who seems to tear you apart, get the Thornmail so that he'll actually help you kill him. Whichever you get, you get the other right after it.
  Finally: I'll honestly be shocked if your game has lasted this long if you've gotten all the items up until now... But, get another Sunfire Cape.
  
  YGTTD:
  
  First: Regrowth Pendant (Warmog's is a big thing in this build) and a Health Potion.
  Next trip back: Look at how everything's going. I normally grab a Ruby Crystal and Boots of Speed.
  Next: Alright, hopefully you've got some gold. Finish your boots (I usually get Mercury's Treads, but it really just depends on the team. If you still have the cash, grab a Giant's Belt now. If not, you'll snag it up in a bit.
  Neeeext: Finish up Warmog's Armor if you can. If not, grab Spirit Visage. Now, you're gonna need to go farm a bit for some cash.
  Next: Finish up Warmog's Armor, assuming you didn't before. If you did, get Spirit Visage. You'll have some more cash, so grab a Negatron Cloak.
  Next: Depending on the team, you'll get either a Banshee's Veil or a [item=Force of Nature]. If they have more CC Spells, get Banshee's, if they just have damaging Magic, get FoN. Either way, once you get the first one, grab the second.
  Finally: Yeah, if the game's lasted this long, then... I'm hoping you're winning, but they're putting up enough of a fight that it's taken this long. Finish up with Guardian Angel. After that, with whatever cash you have, just get Elixir's.
