How to play it

Respect her W
Don't trade while Hallowed Mist surrounds her: inside it she'll kill you unless she's already a free kill.
All-in outside Mist
She has no CC and very little mobility: commit when her W isn't up and she can't escape you.
Bait her Q
Get somewhat close so she pushes her Q into the minion wave, then punish the whiff.
Never step in for a trade while her Hallowed Mist is active: that's when she kills you.
