Playing as Bel'Veth

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Change direction with each dash

    Chain Void Surge (Q) in different directions: each direction has its own cooldown, which drops with your attack speed.

  2. Only cast W when it can't miss

    Cast Above and Below (W) when the target can't dodge it: hitting a champion knocks them into the air and refreshes Void Surge (Q) in that direction.

  3. Eat the coral to transform

    After a kill or an epic monster, eat the Void Coral with Endless Banquet (R): your true form gives you health, range and attack speed.

  4. Farm the big monsters

    Take large monsters, large minions and kills: Death in Lavender (passive) gives you permanent attack speed for each one.

Playing against Ekko

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Avoid his third hit

    Take short trades: his third hit on you, auto or spell, triggers Z-Drive Resonance (passive), with bonus damage and a burst of speed.

  2. Leave his Q field

    When Timewinder (Q) expands on you, leave the field: it slows you, and the device hits you again on its way back to him.

  3. Get out of his sphere

    Leave the Parallel Convergence (W) sphere as soon as it appears: if he steps into it, it stuns every enemy inside.

  4. Aim where he'll reappear

    When he's low, don't chase him blindly: Chronobreak (R) brings him back to where he was 4 seconds earlier and damages nearby enemies. Ready your spells on that spot.
