How to win the jungle race as Bel'Veth against Zac · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Bel'Veth's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Zac.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Bel'Veth Dominant | Void Surge dashes make your trades untouchable against slower kits. There is no version of this Zac wins right now — blob sustain keeps their clear healthy, but champion trades are losers, 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 Skirmish | Bel'Veth Dominant | Above and Below's knock-up sets up a free trade window on cooldown. Later in the game this bites, because a fog-charged Elastic Slingshot knock-up opens a gank-grade engage onto you. But with one camp still up on both sides none of it is online, so take the level-2 skirmish and tax every camp Zac concedes. |
| Level 3 Route | Bel'Veth Dominant | All four dash directions plus the W knock-up make the extended duel yours, while blob sustain keeps their clear healthy, but champion trades are losers. 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 Macro | Bel'Veth Dominant — Keep Fighting | You are the stronger side all through 4-5. Zac knows it — he charges Elastic Slingshot from fog through 4-5 and is more dangerous off your screen than on it — so shadow that side of the map and make them fight you anyway. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Endless Banquet Domination | True form turns every objective fight into a feeding frenzy — force them on spawn, while Let's Bounce! plus the fog Slingshot starts every objective fight with their team airborne. Same minute, very different sizes of spike — take the first objective that spawns after both sixes land. |
| 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. Zac's first item is a durability spike, so he does not start killing you — he starts surviving whatever you send. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Bel'Veth Favoured — Wins Late | From two items you out-scale Zac. He is a fog engage with two health bars, so the first kill is only temporary, 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. Zac clears steadily with blob sustain and Unstable Matter, and he never has to recall for health before six.
