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

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

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearBel'Veth DominantVoid Surge dashes make your trades untouchable against slower kits, while Alpha Strike speeds their clear, but raw duels are losers. Only one of those wins at the first buff, so press it: take the level-1 crossing, then leave with 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. Wuju Style helps the clear more than the duel, and with one camp still up on both sides that is not an answer. Take the level-2 skirmish and make Master Yi path away from the camps you want.
Level 3 RouteBel'Veth DominantAll four dash directions plus the W knock-up make the extended duel yours. There is no version of this Master Yi wins right now — Meditate buys time but wins nothing, and that folds at the opening scuttle. Show on their side of the river and take the first scuttle and the gank window behind it.
Levels 4-5 MacroBel'Veth Dominant — Keep FightingLevels 4-5 change nothing: you still win every straight duel vs Master Yi, and he is farming through 4-5 and will not contest anything until Highlander and a first item land. Sit in their river, take both scuttles, and tax the camps they concede.
Level 6 BreakpointEndless Banquet FavouredTrue form turns every objective fight into a feeding frenzy — force them on spawn. Highlander makes him un-kitable and every takedown resets the chase — respect that one window, but the six-spike comparison favors you: take the post-6 duel whenever HP bars start even.
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. Master Yi's first item is the start of the curve rather than a spike — his real jump is the second and third.
2+ Items ScalingEven Scaling — Prep DecidesBoth kits pay off at 2+ items — late fights vs Master Yi come down to who enters with cooldowns, vision, and numbers. Win with setup, not stats.
