Well said. So how about this?

-

- Passive and Q are fine as they are, I think.

- Make her a new W (see below for her old W being moved to E) that uses a charging mechanic similar to that of. Tessik builds up charge as she moves or attacks, and at 100 charge, she gains the ability to activate W, granting her a temporary damage-absorbing shield. After the shield fades or is broken, there's a static cooldown before Tessik can begin charging it again. Consuming charges of Voltage using her other abilities would add 20 charge each. This is her staple assassin defensive ability. (Name this ability Shock Absorber. A couple puns in here.)

- Move her current W over to her E, and add a decaying MS boost and small dash to the empowered AA like. Also, change the Voltage bonus to... something else. I don't know what. (Keep the name Surge Breaker. It highlights the skill being akin to something Vi would do, and Vi and Tessik are acquainted in lore. Which I forgot to post in here. I'll do that after.)

- The R will probably need some tweaking as well, but I want to get W and E straightened out first.

The overall aim is to make her quite sticky, but also quite vulnerable. Similar to Skarner, but trading Skarner's potential tankiness for potential burst damage.
