She is more of a supportive tank. Her passive gives her allies bonus damage, she can spam her stuns and Zenith Blade a lot - they have relatively low cooldowns. Her W also lasts quite a while (6 seconds!!) and can apply Sunlight on nearby enemies easily.

But really, she is called a support because of her laning phase. She generally just harasses the enemy and (depending on the player) can activate her passive onto the creeps to give the carry more bonus damage, making it easier for them to farm. Her harass is good because her Zenith blade jump ignores creeps, so you can easily hit enemies who are hiding behind creeps. Her stun has a low cooldown and her shield protects her, and can deal damage if you time it right. When you get her ulti, you can pretty much kill anyone with a strong team-mate (since you lack damage, but have two stuns and a passive that increases allied damage)
