How to win the jungle race as Bel'Veth against Graves · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Bel'Veth's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Graves.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Respect Graves | True Grit armor plus point-blank double-shot autos win any close-range brawl — Bel'Veth has no answer to that at level 1. End of the Line plus knockback autos shred melees holding a buff pit on their half of the map too, so skip the level-1 crossing and answer the pressure cross-map. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Even Skirmish | Quickdraw (E) True Grit armor stacking lets them out-trade in tight jungle lanes, and that is worth exactly what you bring: Above and Below's knock-up sets up a free trade window on cooldown. Contest the second buff when your health bar is the higher one and not before. |
| Level 3 Route | Even Skirmish | Even at the opening scuttle, for a concrete reason — Smoke Screen's blind caps a kit that wins almost every close-quarters exchange, while all four dash directions plus the W knock-up make the extended duel yours. Fight him in the open where his pellets spread, never inside a tight buff pit, and let the camp timers choose the fight for you. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Bel'Veth Favoured — Take Duels | The 4-5 window is yours if you pick it: he uses 4-5 to take your camps, because True Grit stacking makes him the better invader. Track that pattern, arrive one camp early, and take the fight before the follow-up shows. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Endless Banquet Favoured | True form turns every objective fight into a feeding frenzy — force them on spawn. Collateral Damage adds a dash-reset execute to their close-range shred, so the margin is real but narrow: fight when your ultimate is up and Collateral Damage is the one on cooldown. |
| 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. Graves' first item is a large step in raw damage — the double-shot at point blank starts removing squishies outright. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Bel'Veth Favoured — Wins Late | The late game is yours. Remember what Graves still is at full build — he shreds anything in a corridor and holds a side lane against most of the map — 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. Graves has one of the fastest clears in the game — End of the Line through two camps at once means he is level three early.
