Bel’Veth is the pick for you if you love stacking attack speed and want to watch your damage go vroom. She’s got high mobility and can quickly dart around fights to create havoc on enemies and will serve as a great carry option for your team from the jungle. She also comes with an infinite stacking mechanic thanks to her passive, which should appeal to those who want to believe in their late game potential.

Keys to Remember About Bel’Veth
Being an attack speed based champion, Bel'Veth relies heavily on being able to get time to auto-attack -- this is buoyed by having a team with CC (or their enemies lacking CC), but even without that, she is great at neutral objectives and towers.
Like other auto-attack based carries (ADCs primarily), she'll want to play safe and position in a way to carry fights and stay alive after. You'll find more value taking what's in front of you as opposed to diving for the enemy backline, as she is not really about big bursts of damage.
Strengths
She’ll bring a ton of damage to the table for your team, which can be a welcome treat from a jungle champion. This means she pairs really well with more supportive laners who can help enable her rather than needing her to enable them. The high single target DPS also makes her great at taking down big neutral objectives as long as your team can secure the area. And because she has lifesteal and high mobility, if she’s able to gain an early lead, she’s the kind of champion that can quickly snowball a game by killing enemies repeatedly, especially with Endless Banquet [R].
Weaknesses
Bel’Veth is a fairly difficult champion to play in that she’s a squishy jungle champion -- being jungle means she’ll be tasked with making plays, but being a carry means she’s not going to be particularly tanky. She gains access to lifesteal with Royal Maelstrom [E], which will help her survive longer, but it’s not actually going to mitigate damage for her if she gets locked down by enemy CC. Rely on attack speed for scaling also means she’ll do better the longer a fight goes, but that can prove difficult in fights with a lot of upfront burst. And even if she’s able to stay alive, she’ll need to avoid CC to ensure she can actually deal damage, as she is quite reliant on auto-attacking.
Game Plan
Early Game: Look to farm -- she has some built-in CC with Above and Below [W], but she’s a champion who scales very well with items, so she’ll want time to be able to farm up.
Mid Game: You’ll want to focus on objectives with Bel’Veth -- her high attack speed makes her great taking both neutral objectives and structures, though she should find good success in small skirmishes as well.
Late Game: As long as you can avoid enemy CC, Bel’Veth is extremely dangerous late game and has the potential to carry fights for your team with her mobility and damage.
