Kit reference

Bel'Veth abilities

Ability names, descriptions and numeric fields come from Riot Data Dragon. Practical reads are independently written; the current in-game tooltip remains authoritative.

Abilities Data Dragon 16.20.1Cooldown / Cost / Range Data Dragon 16.20.1
P
Passive

Death in Lavender

What it doesBel'Veth gains permanent attack speed stacks after taking down large minions and monsters and champions. She also gains temporary bonus attack speed after using an ability.

Practical readDeath in Lavender is an automatic part of the kit involving basic-attack interaction. Track when its condition is active instead of treating every fight the same way.

Q
Q ability

Void Surge

What it doesBel'Veth dashes in a chosen direction and damages all enemies she passes through.

Practical readVoid Surge contributes damage. Its value changes with cooldown, range and target access; recognise the setup before moving into its effective area.

Cooldown4/3.25/2.5/1.75/1 secListed range450 units
Movement

The cast changes position or access. Account for where the champion finishes, not only where the ability begins.

W
W ability

Above and Below

What it doesBel'Veth slams her tail to the ground, damaging, knocking up, and slowing her enemies.

Practical readAbove and Below contributes a slowing effect. Its value changes with cooldown, range and target access; recognise the setup before moving into its effective area.

Royal Maelstrom

What it doesBel'Veth roots herself in place, channeling a storm of slashes around her that targets the lowest-health enemy and grants her lifesteal and damage reduction.

Practical readRoyal Maelstrom contributes damage. Its value changes with cooldown, range and target access; recognise the setup before moving into its effective area.

Cooldown24/21/18/15/12 secListed range500 units
Cast commitment

This cast has a wind-up, charge or channel. Movement, interruption or a changing target state can matter before the effect completes.

R
Ultimate

Endless Banquet

What it doesBel'Veth consumes Void coral remnants, transforming into her true form and increasing her max health, attack range, and attack speed. Consuming the Void coral remnants of a Void epic monster will grant her the power to summon Void remora.

Practical readEndless Banquet creates setup or area pressure. Place it where the opponent must choose between entering its space, changing route or giving up the immediate contest.

Cooldown1 secListed range450 units
Maximum-health interaction

This effect references a maximum-health value. Check whether the current tooltip uses the caster's or the target's health before comparing damage or protection.

Adapt the plan

What to do when the game changes

Judge the whole lane or map state, not only personal kills. Choose the situation closest to the current game.

Even plan

Keep the clear moving and choose high-information plays

1
Pathing

Track opposing camps and lane states instead of forcing the first visible target.

2
Map play

Trade sides of the map when contesting would require weaker lanes to move first.

3
Fights

Save important control for the enemy who threatens your carries or objective access.

Pings, movement and objectives

Bel'Veth Jungle map plan

Link each clear to the next informed decision. Pings should tell lanes where you are pathing and whether the team is contesting or trading an objective.

Ahead

Turn tempo into controlled territory

Ping
Use On My Way before entering a lane, Assist Me before an objective and Danger when nearby lanes cannot move to an invade.
Path or gank
Gank when the lane has reach, damage and a safe exit. Do not wait beside a protected target while camps and the next objective disappear.
Objective
Establish vision with the nearest winning lane, keep Smite available and avoid chasing away from the objective after gaining control.
Even

Choose the play with the clearest information

Ping
Use On My Way early enough for the lane to prepare, Assist Me only when nearby lanes can move, and Retreat when the contest has already become late.
Path or gank
Prefer a lane with crowd control, damaged opponents or a favourable wave. A visible opponent is not automatically a usable gank.
Objective
Check Mid and Bot priority before Dragon, or Mid and Top before Herald. Set a safe entrance before beginning the objective.
Behind

Trade the map instead of forcing recovery

Ping
Ping Retreat from lost contests, Danger on likely invades and On My Way when covering a vulnerable lane or remaining camp.
Path or gank
Counter-gank or help only when allies can survive until arrival. Repeated low-chance ganks deepen the camp and level deficit.
Objective
If entry is unsafe, trade for camps, a wave, vision or the opposite objective. Keep Smite and crowd control for a contest the team can actually reach.
Objective setup

Four calls, in order

Pings create a shared plan; they do not replace checking waves, vision and who can move.

  1. 1
    Before the route

    Decide which camps lead toward the objective and ping the nearby lanes before they spend the wave or recall timing.

  2. 2
    Check priority

    Confirm which nearby lanes can move first. Do not convert an isolated objective marker into a forced fight.

  3. 3
    Control entry

    Move with a teammate, sweep one entrance and keep Smite available before committing damage to the objective.

  4. 4
    Finish or turn

    Call whether the team is finishing, fighting or leaving. Mixed decisions are more dangerous than either clear choice.

Later objectives: Repeat the same process around later major objectives: handle nearby income, communicate the route, enter through vision and agree on the fight before committing.
