Playing as Bel'Veth
Tips to maximize your impact
- Change direction with each dash
Chain Void Surge (Q) in different directions: each direction has its own cooldown, which drops with your attack speed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Lee Sin
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Step up when he misses Q
Step up when Sonic Wave (Q) misses you: without it, he has no dash to reach you, and it has a 10 to 6 second cooldown.
- Spread out from your allies
In teamfights, spread out from your allies when facing him: the champion he kicks with Dragon's Rage (R) damages every enemy they collide with and knocks them into the air.
- Watch your early jungle
Ward your jungle entrance early on: Lee Sin often looks to invade early to get ahead.
- Drag the game out
If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Lee Sin is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
