The jungle race — the windows in Diana's plan

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

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearDanger — Avoid Bel'VethBel'Veth out-classes you at the first buff — Void Surge dashes make their trades untouchable against slower kits, and true-damage Lavender stacks and quadruple dashes out-scale every extra second of a fight. Skip the level-1 crossing, full-clear away from them, and trade map pressure instead of health.
Level 2 SkirmishDanger — Avoid Bel'VethDo not be seen on the second camp: true-damage Lavender stacks and quadruple dashes out-scale every extra second of a fight. On top of that, Above and Below's knock-up sets up a free trade window on cooldown, so they get there first. Trade in short bursts only — extended fights feed her passive stacks. Refuse the level-2 skirmish and farm the opposite quadrant until your spike lands.
Level 3 RouteDanger — Avoid Bel'VethHard no-contest for Diana at level 3: all four dash directions plus the W knock-up make the extended duel theirs, and true-damage Lavender stacks and quadruple dashes out-scale every extra second of a fight. Trade in short bursts only — extended fights feed her passive stacks. Path opposite, ward your entrances, and let the clock carry you to your own spike.
Levels 4-5 MacroDanger — Avoid Bel'VethBel'Veth owns 4-5 outright. Void Surge lets her cross the map between camps, so 4-5 is spent stacking Death in Lavender off both jungles, so treat every crossing as theirs and take the camps they are furthest from.
Level 6 BreakpointRespect Bel'Veth's RTrue-form Bel'Veth out-duels everything once she banks a Void coral — Diana loses the straight post-6 duel. Deny the coral procs — fight her before the transformation, not after, and shift your pressure to the side of the map their ultimate is not on.
First Item SpikeNashor's / Hextech Rocketbelt SpikeCompleting your core item triggers a massive damage and clear acceleration loop that completely automates your camp rotation velocities. Your basic attacks shred through epic monsters in seconds, allowing you to easily execute stealth neutral pit captures. Use this priority window to force aggressive side-lane dives or counter-jungle lines cleanly. Bel'Veth's first item turns the dash chain into sustained damage — she stops trading and starts running people down.
2+ Items ScalingDanger — Bel'Veth OutscalesThe clock is your enemy. She is a true-form auto-attacker who out-duels almost anything with room to dash, so close the game on the first two objectives you actually win.

How to beat Bel'Veth as Diana: the first clear and pathing

Start your clear at the Red Buff camp to maximize early health retention via W shields before clearing toward your blue side for a full 6-camp clear. Bel'Veth clears fast and lopsided — the four Void Surge directions let her leave a camp half-done and arrive somewhere she should not be.
