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

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

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearBel'Veth DominantVoid Surge dashes make your trades untouchable against slower kits. There is no version of this Ivern wins right now — Friend of the Forest farms without fighting, 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 SkirmishBel'Veth DominantAbove and Below's knock-up sets up a free trade window on cooldown. Later in the game this bites, because he won't fight you — but a Triggerseed root into his laner's follow-up will. But with one camp still up on both sides none of it is online, so take the level-2 skirmish and tax every camp Ivern concedes.
Level 3 RouteBel'Veth DominantAll four dash directions plus the W knock-up make the extended duel yours, while Triggerseed's root protects their escape. 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 MacroBel'Veth Dominant — Keep FightingYou are the stronger side all through 4-5. Ivern knows it — he spends 4-5 marking camps for a laner and setting Brushmaker vision rather than fighting — so shadow that side of the map and make them fight you anyway.
Level 6 BreakpointEndless Banquet DominationTrue form turns every objective fight into a feeding frenzy — force them on spawn, while Daisy! adds a knock-up frontline to their poke-and-root game. Same minute, very different sizes of spike — take the first objective that spawns after both sixes land.
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. Ivern's first item mostly buys shield strength and cooldowns — his spike is what his carry does, not what he does.
2+ Items ScalingBel'Veth Favoured — Wins LateFrom two items you out-scale Ivern. He is a shield-and-root support, with Daisy as the only real body he brings, but none of that beats your full build in a straight fight.
