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

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

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearBel'Veth FavouredVoid Surge dashes make your trades untouchable against slower kits. The margin is thin: Threaded Volley on worked ground still chunks melee contests, and one slow camp on your side hands the window straight back, so keep the trade short. Don't chase her across worked ground — the mine slow turns retreats into kills.
Level 2 SkirmishBel'Veth DominantAbove and Below's knock-up sets up a free trade window on cooldown. Boulder-field poke plus the W shove keeps duels at their range, and with one camp still up on both sides that is not an answer. Take the level-2 skirmish and make Taliyah 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 Taliyah wins right now — the W-into-Q burst combo plus E mine field wins fights at choke points, 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 FightingYou are the stronger side all through 4-5. Taliyah knows it — she uses 4-5 to shove waves and cross the map, with worked ground making her the faster rotator — 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. Weaver's Wall splits the map on their side, and it still does not cover the gap — the moment both ultimates are up, force the fight on a spawning objective.
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. Taliyah's first item makes the volley-into-shove combo a real burst instead of chip damage from range.
2+ Items ScalingBel'Veth Favoured — Wins LateFrom two items you out-scale Taliyah. She zones with mines and splits the map with the wall whenever she wants to, but none of that beats your full build in a straight fight.
