The jungle race — the windows in Bel'Veth's plan

Read from Bel'Veth's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Amumu.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearBel'Veth DominantVoid Surge dashes make your trades untouchable against slower kits. Later in the game this bites, because a Bandage Toss stun into Tantrum spam wears you down inside his Despair aura. But before either of you has a second camp down none of it is online, so take the level-1 crossing and tax every camp Amumu concedes.
Level 2 SkirmishBel'Veth DominantAbove and Below's knock-up sets up a free trade window on cooldown, while Bandage Toss is their gank tool, not a duel-winner. Only one of those wins on the second camp, so press it: take the level-2 skirmish, then leave with the second buff and the tempo that comes with it.
Level 3 RouteBel'Veth DominantAll four dash directions plus the W knock-up make the extended duel yours. Despair tank stats clear fine, but champion duels are losers, and as the first scuttle timer lands that is not an answer. Take the level-3 river fight and make Amumu path away from the camps you want.
Levels 4-5 MacroBel'Veth Dominant — Keep FightingNothing about 4-5 helps Amumu here: levels 4-5 are pure gank-hunting for him — a Bandage Toss into any lane with follow-up beats a full clear, while you can take any duel you can reach. Invade on the clear-timer, not on a whim.
Level 6 BreakpointEndless Banquet FavouredTrue form turns every objective fight into a feeding frenzy — force them on spawn. Amumu's six is not empty — a Bandage Toss into the AoE Curse locks you down for the full follow-up. Take the duel from even health rather than from behind, and the engage is two dodgeable skill-shots — respect the angle, not the mummy.
First Item SpikeKraken Slayer SpikeCompleting your primary damage core triggers an un-matchable physical damage acceleration loop that completely melts epic monsters and champions alike. Your clear is on autopilot, letting you instantly secure lane priority grids before rotating into neutral pits. Amumu's first completed item makes Despair and Tantrum clear at real speed and turns his engage into a genuine team-fight threat.
2+ Items ScalingBel'Veth Favoured — Wins LateThe late game is yours. Remember what Amumu still is at full build — he is a Curse-and-run engager whose value is the ultimate, not the duel — and take the fights that do not let it matter.
