Zed vs Bel'Veth

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Zed's early burst and mobility to contest jungle tempo and disrupt Bel'Veth's slower clears.
This matchup is a snowball vs scale fight where Zed must deny Bel'Veth's farming and objective control to prevent her late-game power spikes.

Jungle Plan

Start with a three-camp clear then contest Scuttle only if lanes have priority and avoid 2v2 fights.
Invade Bel'Veth's jungle after her first clear if she is on the opposite side or lanes can assist.
Deny Herald and dragon setups by controlling river vision and forcing fights before she hits item breakpoints.

Danger windows

Respect Bel'Veth's first item timing when her dueling and sustain improve, increasing risk in extended fights.
Avoid isolated river fights without lane priority due to her mobility and knockup.
Be cautious around forced smite fights near Herald or dragon where her true form pressure spikes.

Early game

Prioritize a fast level 3 clear to unlock your full combo and contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid extended fights before level 3 to prevent getting bullied by Bel'Veth's dueling and sustain.
Use early vision and tracking to spot Bel'Veth's pathing and counter-invade when she commits to a side of the map.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your (W)+(E)+(Q) combo, enabling strong early skirmishes; punish Bel'Veth's early farming attempts.
Level 6 grants (R) for lethal all-ins or escapes; track its cooldown to time picks or disengage safely.
First lethality item boosts burst damage, allowing more confident pressure on waves and invades.

Win conditions

Use early burst and mobility to disrupt Bel'Veth's farming tempo and invade when she is vulnerable.
Convert counter-jungling and kills into vision control around dragon and Herald to deny her scaling.
Leverage (R) pick potential to snowball lanes and secure objectives before she reaches late-game power spikes.
