How to win the jungle race as Bel'Veth against Ekko · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Bel'Veth's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Ekko.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Bel'Veth Dominant | Void Surge dashes make your trades untouchable against slower kits. There is no version of this Ekko wins right now — Timewinder poke chips contests, but the early all-in isn't there yet, and that folds at the first buff. Show on their side of the river and take a camp and a chunk of their health bar. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Bel'Veth Dominant | Above and Below's knock-up sets up a free trade window on cooldown. Later in the game this bites, because a triggered Parallel Convergence stun into passive burst is his entire kill script. But with one camp still up on both sides none of it is online, so take the level-2 skirmish and tax every camp Ekko concedes. |
| Level 3 Route | Bel'Veth Dominant | All four dash directions plus the W knock-up make the extended duel yours, while Parallel Convergence stun setups give them their first real pick threat. Only one of those wins at the opening scuttle, so press it: take the level-3 river fight, then leave with the first scuttle and the gank window behind it. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Bel'Veth Dominant — Keep Fighting | Nothing about 4-5 helps Ekko here: he uses 4-5 to plant Parallel Convergence in a lane bush; the stun is the gank and the clear is filler, while you can take any duel you can reach. Invade on the clear-timer, not on a whim. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Endless Banquet Favoured | True form turns every objective fight into a feeding frenzy — force them on spawn. Chronobreak undoes your best trade and slams you with the rewind nuke — respect that one window, but the six-spike comparison favors you: take the post-6 duel whenever HP bars start even. |
| First Item Spike | Kraken Slayer Spike | Completing 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. Ekko's first item is the point where his dive stops being a trade and becomes a kill, with the rewind as insurance. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Bel'Veth Favoured — Wins Late | The late game is yours. Remember what Ekko still is at full build — he dives, deletes and rewinds, so your punish window is only ever after Chronobreak — and take the fights that do not let it matter. |
Start your routing on the Raptors node to maximize your early multi-hit Q dash resets for an ultra-fast full clear toward the opposite side scuttle. Ekko clears at a fair pace with Timewinder and passive procs, but he takes real damage doing it before level four.
