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

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

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearRespect Lee SinSonic Wave re-cast plus Flurry resets delete half your HP in one rotation — Bel'Veth has no answer to that at level 1. Flurry-weaving between Q casts gives a level-1 trade few champions match on their half of the map too, so skip the level-1 crossing and answer the pressure cross-map.
Level 2 SkirmishRespect Lee SinThe second skill point doubles their trade pattern — Q-W or Q-E both chunk hard, and Bel'Veth has no clean answer to it on the second camp — Sonic Wave re-cast plus Flurry resets delete half your HP in one rotation. Stand behind your camp so Q can't connect clean, and don't burn your dash early, and give up the second buff rather than the kill.
Level 3 RouteRespect Lee SinThe window at the opening scuttle belongs to Lee Sin: the full E-slow, Q-execute, W-shield kit is at its proportionally strongest point. Your own line is real — all four dash directions plus the W knock-up make the extended duel yours — but it arrives second here. Stand behind your camp so Q can't connect clean, and don't burn your dash early, then give up the level-3 river fight.
Levels 4-5 MacroEven — Farm & TrackEven through 4-5. He plays 4-5 as an invade window — Sonic Wave vision plus the ward-hop reaches camps he should not, so mirror it: farm the same tempo, ward the same crossings, and take the fight only with numbers.
Level 6 BreakpointEndless Banquet FavouredTrue form turns every objective fight into a feeding frenzy — force them on spawn. The Dragon's Rage kick into a Q re-cast adds real burst to an already complete kit, so the margin is real but narrow: fight when your ultimate is up and Dragon's Rage is the one on cooldown.
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. Lee Sin's first item is his last real jump — after it his damage stays flat while everyone else keeps climbing.
2+ Items ScalingBel'Veth Favoured — Wins LateFrom two items you out-scale Lee Sin. He falls off harder than any other jungler — the burst simply stops killing, but none of that beats your full build in a straight fight.
