How to win the jungle race as Master Yi against Bel'Veth · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Master Yi's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Bel'Veth.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Danger — Avoid Bel'Veth | Do not be seen at the first buff: true-damage Lavender stacks and quadruple dashes out-scale every extra second of a fight. On top of that, Void Surge dashes make their trades untouchable against slower kits, so they get there first. Trade in short bursts only — extended fights feed her passive stacks. Skip the level-1 crossing and farm the opposite quadrant until your spike lands. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Danger — Avoid Bel'Veth | Hard no-contest for Master Yi at level 2: 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. 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. |
| Level 3 Route | Danger — Avoid Bel'Veth | True-damage Lavender stacks and quadruple dashes out-scale every extra second of a fight. All four dash directions plus the W knock-up make the extended duel theirs on top of that, so level 3 is a straight stat check Master Yi loses — trade in short bursts only — extended fights feed her passive stacks, and give the river vision-line respect. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Danger — Avoid Bel'Veth | This 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 Breakpoint | Respect Bel'Veth's R | The six-spike belongs to Bel'Veth, and Master Yi's does not bridge the gap: true-form Bel'Veth out-duels everything once she banks a Void coral. Deny the coral procs — fight her before the transformation, not after. Your own ultimate is a tool here, not a trump card — spend it to escape or equalize, not to start fights. |
| First Item Spike | Kraken Slayer Spike | Completing your core item triggers a massive physical damage, attack speed, and on-hit multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or isolated targets. Bel'Veth's first item turns the dash chain into sustained damage — she stops trading and starts running people down. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Even Scaling — Prep Decides | Neither of you out-scales the other. She is a true-form auto-attacker who out-duels almost anything with room to dash, so the late game is decided by who starts the fight, not who wins the stat sheet. |
Start your clear at the Red Buff camp to maximize early health sustain and red buff true damage. 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.
