Mi Fu's Skill Priority

Her Battle Skill and Basic Attack are both very important for her actual damage output, so try to level both of them equally. Her Combo Skill can be neglected, as it simply serves as a vehicle to apply Physical Susceptibility and let her use her empowered Battle Skills, and neither of these effects get scaled with additional levels in her Combo Skill.

Her Ultimate does a solid amount of damage, but most of her DPS output will come from hitting enemies with basics and using her empowered Battle Skill as often as possible. You can level the Ultimate, but it is not nearly as important as for many other characters.

How to Play Mi Fu

Mi Fu's ideal playstyle has her being your controlled main operator. When you begin the encounter, you will want to use her Skill to rope in all the enemies and get right into the next phase of her skill. You will then want to build up to at least 3 stacks of Vulnerable quickly via your team to trigger her combo skill, which applies Physical Susceptibility.

You immediately follow this up with another Battle Skill, which will consume the Vulnerable applications by triggering a Crush attack, while also allowing her to use her final enhancement of her Battle Skill once you have enough SP again. Ideally you want to be able to do this immediately after the setup for it, to benefit from the damage amplification effects, so make sure to have enough SP for two back-to-back Battle Skills.

Once you have finished bursting like this once, you can either trigger another of her Combo Skills by reaching 3 Vulnerable stacks again, or use her Ultimate, to not have to use her regular Battle Skill again. While it does provide some grouping utility, this can be done by other characters as well, and you'd rather just cast her Skill 2 and Skill 3 versions instead of wasting SP on her Skill 1.
