Understanding Bel’Veth’s Abilities
- Passive – Death in Lavender: Bel’Veth gains stacking attack speed bonuses from takedowns and jungle monsters, scaling her damage infinitely. Unlike most champions, she converts attack speed into true attack frequency instead of crit, making her unique.
- Q – Void Surge: A dash in one of four directions, dealing damage to enemies hit. Each direction has its own cooldown, allowing for creative combos and high mobility in fights.
- W – Above and Below: Bel’Veth slams the ground, dealing damage and knocking up enemies hit. Landing W reduces the cooldown of the relevant Q dash, enabling fluid combos.
- E – Royal Maelstrom: Bel’Veth channels a vortex that reduces damage taken, rapidly strikes enemies, and heals based on damage dealt. It is her core dueling and survival tool.
- R – Endless Banquet: Bel’Veth consumes Void Coral from epic monsters or champion kills to transform into her true form. In this form, she gains bonus stats, enhanced abilities, and the ability to spawn Void minions from slain objectives, reshaping lanes.
Early Game Jungle Pathing
Bel’Veth’s early game is weaker than most junglers, so your main priority is efficient pathing and farming. Begin at a buff with leash, then clear camps quickly using Q dashes to kite monsters and maximize DPS uptime. Her attack speed scaling allows her to farm faster the more stacks she acquires, so consistent farming is key to snowballing.
Early Gank Opportunities
While Bel’Veth is not the strongest early ganker, she can look for opportunities after level three using Q to close gaps and W to set up crowd control. Coordinate with lanes that have reliable CC, as your ganks are most effective when allies can lock down targets for your dashes. Avoid overcommitting if objectives aren’t secured—your power comes from scaling into mid and late game.
Mid-Game Strategy
Bel’Veth’s mid-game revolves around securing Rift Herald and dragons. Rift Herald is particularly important since consuming its Void Coral allows Bel’Veth to spawn Void minions that push lanes and exert macro pressure. Always track spawn timers and prioritize securing these objectives with your team. Use transformation from Void Coral to enhance fights around these objectives, as your empowered state makes you significantly stronger.
Skirmishing and Roaming
In mid-game skirmishes, rely on Q mobility to dodge key abilities, W to knock up priority targets, and E for survival in extended trades. Bel’Veth thrives in long fights where she can repeatedly dash and heal through damage. Focus on scaling through farming while joining fights where your team is contesting major objectives.
