WhiteCrow's DIAMOND guide to Shacomania by @ White Cr0w

White Cr0w's guide is one of the oldest top guides on the site, originating as far back as season 3 in 2013. It's always an impressive feat of dedication when and author sticks around long enough to update and improve their guide over the course of years to make sure people have a place to learn their champion. As a Shaco master, White Cr0w is a valuable author on the site and his guide is definitely a must-see for anyone looking for the latest and greatest Shaco builds and strategies.

Since Shaco is a pretty unique champion with a lot of quirks and tricks with his pathing and box placement, I'd definitely recommend that new Shaco players check out the Shaco Skillset and Jungling as Shaco chapters. They'll give you some insight into how best to use Shaco's unique strengths to get an XP lead with reliable pathing, which will set you up for a strong early game. There are also a number of matchups in the cheatsheet that you can take advantage of to give yourself an edge against your jungle opponent.

Emiru - Jinx to Diamond Guide by @ Emiru

has one of the top win rates among all AD carries at the moment and she's a blast to play, so I highly recommend any prospective ADC players to check out Emiru's Jinx guide and give her a spin! Emiru's Jinx guide is much like her Jhin guide, with a large emphasis on clear meta builds and applicable gameplay advice to play off your allies and enemies as reliably as possible.

Jinx's most vulnerable part of the game is her laning phase, so it'll definitely be worth your time to read up on your potential matchups and synergies in the 2v2 to help prepare yourself to survive tough lanes and thrive in easier matchups that you can bully. Jinx has a high-risk, high-reward playstyle and works really well with a lead, so it's important to make the most out of the early game so that you have your core items as soon as possible. Be sure to also read up on the support you'll be laning with, since you might have some useful combos with your traps and zaps!

sh00zyz's Bard guide by @ sh00zyz

is another one of those tricky champions to learn because he works a bit differently than other champs in his role. His E and R are pure utility, so you'll need to know when and how to use them effectively to succeed. Thankfully, sh00zyz has a fairly extensive abilities section that breaks down each ability and how to use them effectively.

Aside from his utility skills, the main way to dominate as Bard is to harass with meeps and land some crazy s. In the Laning chapter of this guide, sh00zyz includes some useful tips with screenshots that show some great opportunities for level 1 double-stuns to get you and your lane partner a lead. The same strategy can be applied later in the game if you find enemies rotating or walking along walls. There's a lot to learn about Bard before you can master him, so it's definitely worth taking the time to read up on some possibilities before you go out and practice.

If you liked any of these guides, be sure to give the authors a vote and comment with your thoughts! See you again next week. :)
