Nidalee vs Bel'Veth

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Nidalee's very high early game pressure and fast clears to invade and punish Bel'Veth's slower or weaker first clears.
Prioritize early tempo leads through camp denial and spear poke to disrupt Bel'Veth's scaling and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Start with aggressive pathing targeting enemy camps after your first clear to deny Bel'Veth farm and force her off the map.
Fight for early Scuttle Crab only when you have lane priority or can land a spear to secure vision and objective control.
Use traps and spears to control river entrances and set up for dragon or Rift Herald when lanes can assist or after successful invades.

Danger windows

Beware of isolated river fights when Bel'Veth has (E) up to absorb burst and (Q)(W) mobility to engage or disengage.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights where Bel'Veth's sustained damage and healing can outlast you.
Respect windows after Bel'Veth completes her first item or secures Herald/Baron, as she becomes harder to contest in fights and objectives.

Early game

Opt for a fast, technical first clear to reach level 3 quickly and look for early invades on Bel'Veth's jungle camps.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and you can land spears to secure health advantage.
Avoid fighting for river control or objectives when spear cooldowns are down or lanes lack priority to prevent risky counter-invades.

Power spikes

Nidalee spikes at level 3 and with spear hits, use this to invade or force fights before Bel'Veth completes her first full clear.
Respect Bel'Veth's first item spike where her sustained dueling and (E) damage reduction improve, avoid extended fights past this point.
Prioritize contesting Herald and Baron as (R) true form after these objectives creates strong map pressure.

Win conditions

Convert early tempo and camp control into repeated invades denying Bel'Veth's farm and delaying her scaling.
Use spear poke and traps to set up vision and secure early dragons and Rift Herald before Bel'Veth hits power spikes.
Coordinate ganks and counter-ganks around spear cooldowns and lane priority to maintain jungle control and snowball leads.
