I'm not greatly concerned, I'm just responding to the guy who said satanic and manta should be removed.

If I were going to totally reorder her I would consider doing something like:
Extension: Bfly MKB daedalus divine
Luxury: manta satanic BoT

...just to make it clearer that manta shouldn't be bought until very late. At the end of the day, though, she's just very difficult to cookie-cutter.

WEQQ is unuseable
WEQE is technically better than WEEQ in coordinated, official matches where your lane is expecting the gank and actively setting up a good situation for it (usually mid) and you have AT LEAST 2 clarities and a smoke
in most games, WEEQ is much safer and more efficient.

My current opinion on various CM builds:
WEEQ - Jungle-centric build that tries to stack up for a core while hitting a faster level 4-5 than she would in lane. Takes too long to become threatening in lane.
WEQQ - Hits roughly the same damage timings in lane as WEEQ would out of the jungle. Likely requires an early-game clarity. Providing the other lanes with less mana sustain is a relative drawback
WEQE - A transpose of WEEQ that needs early clarities, but this time the goal is to abuse the faster level 3 timing in lane, then go/return to the jungle with a second point in aura to reduce clarity dependence after (hopefully) winning the lane.

Perhaps a separate Crystal Maiden (Jungle) guide is in order?

With the current bugs and issues, there's no way I could properly detail a Jungle version of CM/SK/WK

sk is not a level 1 jungler either and jungling from level 3 is considered standard support play and, when he's not getting enough out of the offlane, standard offlane play

jungle wk = radiant chain pulls.
jungle sk => use pulls to hit level 3 while stacking.

CM skill order changes so much game to game that anything that's not blatantly wrong is fine.

Even Q level 1 is fine in some situations (3-4 man Nova can do way more in a level 1 rune fight than a single Frostbite).

support start items are bullshit cuz you can be responsible for anywhere from 195g to 470g+ worth of support items depending on ur team composition and opponents so no recommendation is going to be valid any meaningful % of games.

u always need a set of tangos and a clarity as CM though.
