Lara is insanely squishy early on. If you don’t wanna struggle with pots make sure to get the free pet, Puffram, and use the Auto Potion feature. The free pet is under your white bulb quest called, (Lv.33) Have you learned about pets?.

Lara Mobbing Combo and Bossing Skill Usage
When it comes to Lara it can be overwhelming with so many different elements and things to manage. Hopefully this will make this simpler for you.
When mobbing and you can one shot the mobs, you’ll want to use Eruption on Wind, River, and, Sun veins. You can cover almost the entire map with these summons.
When bossing with Lara you’ll want to use Absorption on all the elements for bosses that move often. If they don’t move like Zakum or Horntail, use Eruption on the elements.
Since you can use Manifestation skills with Eruption or Absorption, you’ll want to use Manifestation on the Wind vein to get the Attack Speed buff.
Lara is one of the best mobbers in the game and is one of the best choices for meso farming since Kishin nerf/change.
