Tips to maximize your impact

Start with Shield Vault
Start your trades with Shield Vault (W): you leap onto your target and stun them, so Comet Spear (Q) can't miss.
Thrust or throw
Tap Comet Spear (Q) for a short thrust that refunds part of the cooldown, or hold it to throw your spear farther.
Raise your Aegis against burst
Raise Aegis Assault (E) against enemy burst: you ignore damage from that direction, except from towers.
Roam with Grand Starfall
Roam with Grand Starfall (R): you leap from long range onto the chosen area, and the spell instantly readies Mortal Will (passive).

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Enter her mist or wait
To hit her during Hallowed Mist (W), walk into the mist or wait for it to fade: from outside, you can't target her.
Trade before her 4 autos
Take short trades before she lands 4 autos: each one adds a snip to Snip Snip! (Q).
Get out of her needles' path
Step out of the Needlework (R) line: she can recast it twice within 6 seconds, with three then five needles.
Send two to answer her split
Answer her split push with two players rather than alone: A Thousand Cuts (passive) heals her on every auto against a champion.
