I am Ractick, an NA player and I have been playing Kayn ever since I started the game back in season 8 with 6-7k games on him now.

I am currently hovering around Master & main Kayn/Viego/Bel'Veth and I am also Rank 2 Kayn NA. I also stream my games daily over on Twitch.

I have decided to make this guide as I think with a new champion release comes a lot of confusion and many different ideas. So I am sharing what has been working for me and what I've had the most success with! As I improve on Bel'Veth and with time, this guide will hopefully be the best Bel'Veth guide possible!

This page is an in-depth guide on how to play Bel'Veth, including what items to build and when, the most relevant match-ups explained, pathing, runes and more. I will be updating this guide and will change things as the season progresses, to give you guys the most accurate information and resources on how to play Bel'Veth.

Another secondary runes option that's quite popular is : Inspiration with Future's Market and Magical Footwear, using that to get earlier powerspikes such as your Noonquiver, Kraken Slayer or second item. It is also quite a nice option, I just prefer the mid game power of Eyeball Collection + Relentless Hunter on the Domination tree.

How to Carry - Bel'Veth Gameplay Video

About Bel'Veth | Weak/Strong Points

I think Bel'Veth is a great and versatile champion with many different build options, infinite attack speed scaling, resets, tank shred, true damage and so much more! She is very fun to play with high mobility through her Q and has some AOE CC with her W.

BEL'VETH STRONG POINTS:

Extremely STRONG Early Game Ganks + Invade Power

Extremely High Mobility with Void Surge

Can easily multi-kill / 1v9 teamfights.

Infinite Scaling goes crazy with up to 3-4-5.0 attack speed through Death in Lavender.

A smexy skin.

Consistent Damage Output with Tank Shred, True Damage ( Endless Banquet) on and Missing Health Damage through Royal Maelstrom.

Snowball Potential especially through maintaining true form as long as possible.

Has AOE CC pre-6 on W Above and Below.

BEL'VETH WEAK POINTS:

Can be invaded and outskrimished by many junglers if Q Void Surge or E Royal Maelstrom.

Weak when behind.

Weak when not in true form (Ultimate not on).

Prone to CC.

Prone to burst.

If good farm isn't maintain scaling takes too long to get stacks on Death in Lavender

Extremely Countered by Rammus, Taliyah and Poppy

If you put the time to learn Bel'Veth, it will definitely pay off as she is an absolutely amazing 1v9 carry, a champion that can carry an entire team by herself, very powerful and her skill ceiling is high. You can always continue to improve and get better at her and climb more!

Bel'Veth Tips & Tricks

These are my best tips & tricks for jungling and for Bel'Veth specifically so you can carry as many games as possible and play her optimally!

Jungling:

  • Objectives are your best friends and you can take them fast, always focus those when possible. This means when you have lane pressure, aka a lane that is fully pushed up allowing your laner to help you fast and first. It can also be when you get a successful gamk

  • With True Form, remember you are very strong and continue to look to snowball through more kills & invades, especially considering you move fast with bonus MS and dashes through walls.

  • With true form, dives are fairly easy: going in with Q -> W -> AA -> Q, finishing the opponents off with E and use Q to go out of tower range. Come back to claim your R stack.

  • Always look to counter jungle when enemy is opposite side, you can farm fast and gain stacks!

If you are fed:

  • Take objectives
  • Dives & ganks to continue snowball
  • Towers
  • Invade enemy junglers, kill him or take camps.
  • You can even solo baron at 3 items.

If you are behind:

  • Look for good gank opportunities in your winning lane if any, otherwise look for the best opportunities possible (CC lanes, executes etc.)
  • Farm, farm, farm: continue to stack.
  • Get kill with your teammates.
  • Try to comeback!

Mechanics:

  • You can go through thick walls with Q when in True Form, always make sure to go to the thinner part of it and stick close to the wall for it to consistently work.

  • Remember that your W will resets your Q in that direction.

  • Remember that you can recast your E Royal Maelstrom or cancel it using another ability after 0.75s.

  • Always make sure to weave in autos between abilities to use your passive which gives 2 higher attack speed autos with each ability used.

  • Learn to kite with your attack speed and especially if using Lethal Tempo to abuse your range or when in True Form to win more fights.

Early Game on Bel'veth

YOUR CLEAR

As you're clearing camps, use your Q Void Surge to dash and then auto attack twice to take advantage of your passive. The direction in which you dashed in will go on cooldown. Continue to do the same with W & E.

If you are starting Red Side, take W second Above and Below otherwise on Blue Side you take E Royal Maelstrom.

Clearing is straightforward and you have 2 options for pathing:

  1. 3 Camp Into Invade / Gank (My favorite way to go): Bel'veth when all her Q Void Surge is up IS EXTREMELY STRONG 1V1 champion, she has 4 dashes, a dash reset on W, an airborne, and E mitigating damage, execute and instant stacking Conqueror.
  2. 4-5 Camp Clear into Gank: This option is great if you cannot invade enemy jungler or you don't have many good opportunities early on, farm up and gank when possible. If not possible, do a full clear + scuttle, back and get yourself x2 Long Sword.
  3. Full Clear (doing all 6 camps), check my Youtube Channel for a guide (@Ractick).

YOUR GANKS

When going for ganks, walk up to the enemy and use your Q - Void Surge. Use your W Above and Below to knock up and slow enemies as well as refreshing the dash you used initially.

Your E Royal Maelstrom deals missing health damage & gives you 70% damage reduction as well as some life steal. Use this at the end of your combo to finish off opponents or when you get low.

YOUR FIRST POWERSPIKE:

At level 6, you are almost at your powerspike, you will need to kill an enemy or an objective now to claim your true form. Very important to actively be looking for opportunities especially now after 6. After you gain your form, a big goal of yours should be to try to maintain that form especially if it's a herald form

With True Form from your R, you can go over walls with Q Void Surge.

Mid Game on Bel'veth

Now that you've gotten your first few items, possibly your mythic, the whole purpose will be to snowball, snowball, snowball! If you are behind, continue to farm as efficently as possible while looking for any possible ganks or free objectives (when enemies are on opposite side).

THE MID-GAME GAMEPLAN:

In the mid-game, Bel'Veth's gameplay is simple, get a true form and use it's power (bonus stats: lot of bonus HP, attack speed and AA range) to farm fast and continue to refresh your true form, hopefully before the previous expires. The more you can maintain your true form and continue to snowball the easier the game will be. We want to avoid dying while actively farming and looking for ganks and objectives.

Remember that killing rift herald gives you an extended true form of 3mins with the bonus of spawning minions.

Make sure you continue farming/scaling and buying your core items such as .

AND prioritise objectives such as Dragon and Rift Herald to get free R Endless Banquet. Buy control wards on backs and keep focusing objectives and remind your team about them. The resets will win you the game.

Late Game on Bel'veth

The late game is your playground at this point you probably have close to 100 stacks on your passive Death in Lavender and you will be teamfighting a lot and getting objectives which will continue to grant you free stacks. In the late game, you have 3 things to remember:

  1. You are looking for resets in teamfights: Just like a viego, master yi or katarina, you flourish by killing 1 enemy at a time, for two reasons: Bel'Veth R passive stacks increasing attack speed and true damage when focusing a single target and second to get their R stack and regenerate HP.

  2. Continue to take your camps to keep scaling and getting more stacks on Death in Lavender.

  3. Objective Focus, Bel'Veth takes objectives extremely fast and it is good to remember that one mis-positioned enemy = free objective instantly with the right vision control.
