Karthus Build Guide: Making A Guide by jhoijhoi

Introduction

This is a guide aimed towards users who want to make a guide, but lack the knowledge to do so. In it I will detail what makes a good guide and what makes a bad guide, but most important of all, I will make a bad guide for you, so that you will never repeat the wrong-doings of a bad guide writer. Along the way, both you and I will learn humility, gain understanding, and hopefully by the end you will be well-equipped enough to make a terrific guide.

Here you will learn:

How to format your work (columns, lists, font/colour changes)
How to make your guide attractive (including: images, videos, coding)
How to order your chapters
How to make a fantastic guide

JhoiJhoi's Bad Karthus Guide

Below is possibly the most painful thing I've ever had to write. We will take the below terrible guide and turn it into something beautiful. Imagine that each yellow heading in the Bad Karthus Guide is an actual section in an actual guide. As we learn how to assemble and create our guide, you will see each section correctly displayed at the end of this guide.

... what was wrong with JhoiJhoi's guide? What exactly did they do wrong? How could have they conveyed their information better? Why was their guide so hard to read?

There are many answers to these questions, so instead of answering them (:P), I will take us through a step-by-step fix of JhoiJhoi's guide and make it into something that people will actually feel inclined to read :)

BBCoding - Text Effects

Many of you will have noticed the above bar when commenting on MobaFire or writing guides. You can use the in-built tools to do pretty much 90% of what this guide teaches. When you "Quick Reply" to something, you are not presented with the above toolbar; it is up to you if you want to learn the behind-the-scenes coding.

Simple Text Effects

b, i, u, s - Creates bold, italic, underlined, or strike-through text. To achieve these effects, simply add the desired letter before the text you would like to change, as seen to the right. Emphasis is used to add distinction between objects and plain text. We want the reader to pay attention at a particular idea, or thought.

Code:

[b]Bold[/b]
[i]Italics[/i]
[u]Underlined[/u]
[s]Strikethrough[/s]

Effects:
Bold
Italics
Underlined
~~Strikethrough~~

Optional Text Effects

Color, ^SuperScript, _SubScript - Additional text effects can help convey information or create style within a paragraph. Use colour sparingly - consider those annoying flashing advertisments that scream you're the 1 trillionth visitor; these ads annoy you, just the way overusing colour would annoy a reader.

Code:

[color=red]Red[/color]
[color=blue]Blue[/color]
[color=green]Green[/color]
[sup]Super[/sup]Script
[sub]Sub[/sub]Script

Effects:
Red
Blue
Green
^SuperScript
_SubScript

Additional Text Effects

Headings - Like colour, use these sparingly. There are useful for breaking up text to indicate a change in direction within a chapter, or for title purposes. Each heading automatically adds an enter space after it.

Code:

[h1]Heading 1[/h1]
[h2]Heading 2[/h2]
[h3]And so on...[/h3]

Effects:

Heading 1

URL Masking

URL Masking is great. Long strings of meaningless jibberish isn't fun to look at. So instead of http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/ashes-to-ashes-67331, we want to write Ashe's to Ashes.

Code:

[url=http://www.mobafire.com
/league-of-legends/
build/ashes-to-ashes
-67331]Ashe's to Ashes[/url]

Effects:
Ashe's to Ashes

BBCoding - WikiCode

Linking to MobaFire's DataBase

The most common form of code you will see used on MobaFire are links to the database. This sort of wiki is easy to implement. Add double square brackets to any item, champion, ability, summoner spell, rune or mastery to achieve this effect. Capitalisation isn't necessary.

Code:

[[doran's blade]]
[[ashe]]
[[volley]]
[[flash]]
[[executioner]]

Effects:

Icon-Only Links

The second most common form of code you will see used on MobaFire are varying sizes of wiki icons. These can be used to start a paragraph, indicate a champion/item, and more. The possibilities are endless.

Code:

[icon=shen size=50]
[icon=ezreal size=50]
[icon=xin zhao size=50]

Effects:

Pulling Data from Your CheatSheet

You can now embed build information in any comment on the site, and in your build description. You can do this by using the separate builder tools to get a link to a custom setup, or you can use it in your description to automatically pull build information down into the description without typing it out again.

BBCoding - Formatting Techniques

Line Dividers/Separators/Rules

Throughout this guide you will have noticed the white line underneath the titles for each section. I call these "line dividers", they can also be known as "rules" or "separators". Use these to separate paragraphs of text when necessary, as they can act as a chapter break. Feel free to use the ones I created for my own personal use; they're the coloured ones below.

Code:

----

OR

[rule]

Effects:

OR

Indentation

The ability to "indent" or in other words "tab" paragraphs. Indents "stack", so using multiple indents will push the text further and further to the right. If you do not close off an indent tag, it produces a cascading effect, as seen below.

Code:
[indent]Format: Having a good format to follow, and not having everything lying around is key to a good guide, it makes your guide easier to follow through. Good formatting includes using coding like Columns, Lists, and Font Effects to emphasise or draw attention to important aspects of your guide.[/indent]

Effect:

Format: Having a good format to follow, and not having everything lying around is key to a good guide, it makes your guide easier to follow through. Good formatting includes using coding like Columns, Lists, and Font Effects to emphasise or draw attention to important aspects of your guide.

Code:

[indent][icon=ashe size=50]
[indent][icon=syndra size=50]

Effect:

Lists

Lists can be used to... list things. I personally don't use lists often, but they can have their uses. To make a numbered list, simply add "=1" to the end of the word "list" in the coding tag.

Code:

[list]
[*] Information Here
[*] Information Here
[*] Information Here[/list]

Effects:

Columns

I have used multiple columns throughout this guide, and to be honest, it's the most fiddly formatting technique due to MobaFire's lack of space between columns. You need to manually create your own space between columns, either via invisible text (<highlight that blank space), indents, or using the width parameter.

Code:

[color=black]Invisible text![/color]

Effects:
I'm AMAZING!

Columns Example: Width Parameters

Code:

[columns]
[nextcol width=250]This is one column.
[nextcol width=30]
[nextcol width=250]This is another.
[nextcol width=30]
[nextcol width=250]And last one...[/columns]

Effect:

This is one column.

This is another.

And last one...

Columns Example: Indent

Code:

[columns]This is one column.
[nextcol][indent]This is another.[/indent]
[nextcol][indent]And last one...[/indent][/columns]

Effect:

This is one column.

This is another.

And last one...

Columns Example: Invisible Text

Code:

[columns][color=black]SPACESPACE[/color]
[nextcol]This is one column.
[nextcol][color=black]SPACESPACE[/color]
[nextcol]This is another.
[nextcol][color=black]SPACESPACE[/color]
[nextcol]And last one...[/columns]

Effect:

SPACESPACE

This is one column.

SPACESPACE

This is another.

SPACESPACE

And last one...

Creative Use of Columns

Code:

[columns]
[nextcol width=230][center][icon=boots of speed size=50][/center]

[[boots of speed]] + 3x [[health potion]]s are the standard opening items on ADCs as they give you a movement 
speed boost and 450 effective health.
[nextcol width=30]
[nextcol width=230][center][icon=doran's blade size=50][/center]

As the ADC, you're going to want to do some damage, take some damage, and heal from some damage. 
Doran's Blade returns life (HP) on hit, allowing trades.
[nextcol width=30]
[nextcol width=230][center][icon=phage size=50][/center]

There are only a few ADCs who can benefit from an early Phage. [[ezreal]] is one of them, and [[corki]] is another. 
This item is famous for it's kiting ability.[/columns]

Effect:

+ 3x s are the standard opening items on ADCs as they give you a movement speed boost and 450 effective health.

As the ADC, you're going to want to do some damage, take some damage, and heal from some damage. Doran's Blade returns life (HP) on hit, allowing trades.

If you ever wonder how someone has coded their work, try highlighting it and seeing if they've used invisible text, indenting or width parameters :)

Using BBCode Creatively

So let's take a look at a random paragraph of JhoiJhoi's Bad Guide and alter it with our new coding skills :)

jhoijhoi wrote:

"summoner spells i dont get are:
rally because its stupid
promote because it doesnt existence anymore
fortify because only tanks should get fortify and karthus is not a tank he is a caster and thats why i build him ap and thats why i get ignite sometimes for the extra ap with the mastery."

After editing for coding AND grammar/spelling AND text tone:

Non-Viable Summoner Spell Choices

Rally: It does not benefit Karthus because he is an AP Caster

Let's alter the above "Non-Viable Summoner Spells" section and add in all the coding we have learnt so far.

Non-Viable Summoner Spell Choices

Negatives

Structural Organisation (Chapter Order)

As you may have noticed, JhoiJhoi's Bad Guide was poorly organised. She went from her Introduction, to Teamfights, to Summoner Spells etc etc etc. The guide structure was all over the place. It is very easy to structure your guide in a way that will maximise the potential of the information you are trying to convey. Read more about structure and other great tips at .

Runes

Greater Quintessence of Health: With these, Karthus is not as squishy, and thus less likely to become First Blood. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration: The Magic Penetration is useful for most of Karthus' skills, as he is an AP Caster. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction: Cooldown Reduction is essential for early kills with Requiem.

Summoner Spells

: Great for getting around. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Ability Explanation

Death Defied: This passive keeps Karthus alive after death, which allows him to contribute from the grave to a teamfight.
Lay Waste (Q): This spammy skill is your key to farming and harrasing as Karthus. It is automatically on Smart Cast, so the spell always lands where your cursor is. You may like to play around with it in a practise game before commiting yourself to a normal game.
Wall of Pain (W): Is an incredible slow that virtually cripples the movement speed of any enemy who walks through it.
Defile (E): This is your AoE skill that deals Damage over Time. It is imperative to turn this on in teamfights and leave it on if you die. Enemies often forget you are still "alive" and will stand in its effect, making their health bars drop rapidly.
Requiem (R): haha, the best ultimate in the game for Kill Stealing, Kill Securing and guarenteeing Pentakills. Use this whenever an ally says, "Low health enemy!", and you will get the kill :)

Tips and Tricks

Try and only use your Q when you are attacking enemy heroes, buffs, dragon.
Turn on Frost Shot when you are chasing or running away. Turning around and smacking them with 1 auto-attack will slow them right down.
Always have Frost Shot toggled on during team fights.

Skill Explanation by LameoGamer

LameoGamer's Tristana Guide

Draw a Bead Increases your Attack Range as you level. Being able to comfortably sit behind your teammates and snipe is great. However, this passive also brings a negative consequence in that your early-game range is mediocre at best. The need for leveling for range is one of the many reasons why Mid-Lane is the best for Tristana.

Rapid Fire Increases your Attack Speed by a percentage. Attack speed on steroids. This ability is essential for mid-game and late-game fights, solo or team. This greatly increases your DPS and allows you to perhaps take down multiple turrets with only one or two waves of creep rapidly.

Rocket Jump Jumps to target location, dealing splash damage and slow at land spot. Your initiator, escape, and chase skill. Mastering this skill and its high utility is essential in being effective with Tristana. Key things about this skill are that you can jump over walls, enemies are slowed upon being hit, and its cooldown refreshes after a kill or assist.
