Writer's Foreword
Version 1 was originally written by M@m@, but he has since stepped down as a moderator. I have decided to edit it to spruce it up abit, and to add in more details. It will serve the same purpose - to aid new guide writers who do not know the correct template for writing a guide, or needs to know about codes and the such. So i hope readers will learn alot from this guide, and make good guides for the forums too!
Hero Stat and Overview
When you start writing a guide on a specific hero, you must provide the information that the reader need to know. Start your guide with the hero online gold descrption. Write down all the information like hero starting stat, background story, and your own opinion on that hero. Some of the writers provide the hero's complete growth stat. It is good to do that so the reader has more information on the specific hero. So just do something like:
Uzziel the Usurper
Originally found gnawing in the outskirts of mapuaownage, the Usurper's quest for supremacy is ruthless and relentless one. As the Scourge's new member, he pledges to overrule the follies and the fools who will cross to his path. He has the ability to kill a single target enemy in an instant. He has a skill that can deal double damage to a single target in an instance. There is only one word that the Usurper only knows: Vengeance.

Skills Description
Just list out all the skills, with effects, costs, etc. Everything can be found on the DA and DP website. But just put it down so that it's easier reference for readers. One excuse i'm very tired of is 'i'm too lazy to copy and paste it'. Come on, it's really simple to do.
Some comments may be added after each skill. Here's an example:
Extension Force
Usurper focuses his hatred to a target unit that deals damage plus a percentage based on his strength. The target is thrown upwards in one second and stuns in 1 second.
