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

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

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearBel'Veth DominantVoid Surge dashes make your trades untouchable against slower kits. There is no version of this Nunu & Willump wins right now — Consume chunks monsters, not champions, 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 the Biggest Snowball Ever arrives as a knock-up gank, and Consume cheats every smite fight. But with one camp still up on both sides none of it is online, so take the level-2 skirmish and tax every camp Nunu & Willump concedes.
Level 3 RouteBel'Veth DominantAll four dash directions plus the W knock-up make the extended duel yours, while Consume chunks monsters, not champions. 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. Nunu & Willump knows it — he plays 4-5 entirely around snowball ganks and stealing camps out from under a clear — 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 a fog-channeled Absolute Zero zones the entire pit. 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. Nunu & Willump's first item mostly buys durability and cooldowns, so his spike is objective control rather than damage.
2+ Items ScalingBel'Veth Favoured — Wins LateFrom two items you out-scale Nunu & Willump. He is an objective thief and a channel to interrupt, not a duel to take, but none of that beats your full build in a straight fight.
