How to win the jungle race as Bel'Veth against Naafiri · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Bel'Veth's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Naafiri.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Bel'Veth Favoured | Void Surge dashes make your trades untouchable against slower kits, but packmates plus the Darkin Daggers bleed win the level-1 numbers game. You still win the straight exchange at the first buff; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Bel'Veth Favoured | Above and Below's knock-up sets up a free trade window on cooldown. Naafiri can make it awkward — double Darkin Daggers bleed plus the packmate swarm wins raw early exchanges — but not with one camp still up on both sides. Trade, then walk away with the second buff and the tempo that comes with it. |
| Level 3 Route | Bel'Veth Favoured | All four dash directions plus the W knock-up make the extended duel yours. The margin is thin: the full pack with W dash and Q reset bleed is a real early kill threat, and one slow camp on your side hands the window straight back, so keep the trade short. Clear the packmates first — her damage collapses once the hounds are down. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Bel'Veth Favoured — Take Duels | You hold the edge at 4-5, not a blowout. She roams 4-5 with the pack up, hunting lanes with a slow so the W dash cannot be walked out of, so meet them where the camps are, not where their laners are. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Endless Banquet Favoured | True form turns every objective fight into a feeding frenzy — force them on spawn. The Call of the Pack shields the dive while the hounds finish whoever they touch, so the margin is real but narrow: fight when your ultimate is up and The Call of the Pack 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. Naafiri's first item is where the dagger bleed plus the pack becomes a full health bar rather than a heavy trade. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Bel'Veth Favoured — Wins Late | From two items you out-scale Naafiri. She picks one target and the pack removes it before your team can turn, but none of that beats your full build in a straight fight. |
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. Naafiri clears fast because the packmates fight the camp with her, and she reaches three with the pack still up.
