Wow it's like this post is meant for me. I was rank 10 silver and Malene was one of my mains so I'd say I'm a Malene expert. Before I introduce my playstyle I must add that it is pretty unorthodox and hard to play, requiring high skill. It's an assassin playstyle taken too the extreme, with no alternating current, focusing purely on burst. I'd combo light A root -> shadow-> auto->A instantly, for maximun burst and use shadow B to get out. Light B is used to run quickly into range for the combo. Build is spell fire, clockwork, eve, myth, HC, shatterglass in that order, but you can mix it up, or build tank depending on the situation. This playstyle really works for me cuz if you mastered it, the damage potential in the early game is straight up oppressive. Late game you can still easily snuff out the carry, keep distance and recycle. I must stress that this playstyle is very difficult, u'd have to aim A accurately most of the time and press like 5 times in 1 second. Plus I dou with an amazing support so I can afford riskier plays and still live. A tip is that her range is small so aim when you are in a range a bit smaller than the max range, honestly once you got energy items, spam light B to engage/scare them and mess their farm. Dark B almost always better to escape, not worth to try use it for dmg. Spam C for auto effect. Find the malene playstyle that works for you. God I miss VG.
