The jungle race — the windows in Ivern's plan

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

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearDanger — Avoid Bel'VethTrue-damage Lavender stacks and quadruple dashes out-scale every extra second of a fight. Void Surge dashes make their trades untouchable against slower kits on top of that, so level 1 is a straight stat check Ivern loses — trade in short bursts only — extended fights feed her passive stacks, and give the river vision-line respect.
Level 2 SkirmishDanger — Avoid Bel'VethBel'Veth out-classes you on the second camp — Above and Below's knock-up sets up a free trade window on cooldown, and true-damage Lavender stacks and quadruple dashes out-scale every extra second of a fight. Refuse the level-2 skirmish, full-clear away from them, and trade map pressure instead of health.
Level 3 RouteDanger — Avoid Bel'VethDo not be seen at the opening scuttle: true-damage Lavender stacks and quadruple dashes out-scale every extra second of a fight. On top of that, all four dash directions plus the W knock-up make the extended duel theirs, so they get there first. Trade in short bursts only — extended fights feed her passive stacks. Give up the level-3 river fight and farm the opposite quadrant until your spike lands.
Levels 4-5 MacroDanger — Avoid Bel'VethThis is a no-contest window: Void Surge lets her cross the map between camps, so 4-5 is spent stacking Death in Lavender off both jungles, and you have nothing that answers it. Full-clear the far side and let the objective timers carry you.
Level 6 BreakpointDanger — Bel'Veth's RHard breakpoint loss for Ivern: true-form Bel'Veth out-duels everything once she banks a Void coral, and your six does not bridge the gap. Deny the coral procs — fight her before the transformation, not after. Treat every post-6 river fight as theirs until your items arrive.
First Item SpikeUtility Item SpikeYour first utility items multiply your shields and roots into team-wide stat advantages. Camps remain free, so your gold curve funds vision and gifts without losing item pace. Force nothing; enable everything — Bel'Veth cannot counter-jungle a grove economy. 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 OutscalesYou lose the long game outright: she is a true-form auto-attacker who out-duels almost anything with room to dash, and no build path of yours answers that. Convert every early lead into an objective immediately.

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

Mark both your buffs and the adjacent small camps, then path toward your first gank angle while the groves cook. Bel'Veth's start side only matters for where you place the minute-two deep ward — you fear no invade because there is nothing to invade. 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.
