TLDR

Operating Lingsha is not difficult as you only need to switch between Basic Attack and Skill to make sure Fuyuan's action count didn't reach 0, and use Burst whenever Fuyuan's action just ended or if it's still too far away.

First of all, her Basic ATK. It's a normal fire attack to a single target but what's special is that this BA is tied to her talent - Sylvan Smoke - which will regenerate Energy every time Lingsha uses Basic Attack. This is extremely convenient since Ultimate is her most important kit.

Next is her Skill, it's related to her Talent. It does a lot of things like; Lingsha will deal Fire damage to all enemies, then heal all allies in the team, while also making Fuyuan's action advances.
If Fuyuan (from Talent) is not on the field, the Skill will also summon Fuyuan with an initial count of 3.

Regarding Fuyuan from Talent, every time the little bunny takes action, it will launch a follow-up attack dealing Fire damage, dispel 1 debuff from all allies, and restore HP to all of them.

Finally her Ultimate. Lingsha will deal Fire damage to all enemies while inflicting them with Befog. Befog status will make the targets receive increased Break DMG. Aside from that, the Ultimate will also restore HP to all allies and Fuyuan's action advances by 100%.
