Sorry for the noob question, but how is Shingen supposed to be used during burst times? Do you activate Provisional Forest and hope to get your burst back to 100 before the buff ends?

Notice that while Shingen's bow has a good skill (assuming it works on Nutaku), most players are better off with the offensive weapon. The 30% elemental attack is something you should NOT miss out on unless you're running double P2W Eidolons. Anubis isn't even out yet, so...
And the "problem" with PF is that Full Bursting is important. I remember mathing it out before, and it was roughly "no PF full burst deals same damage as PF 4-Hime burst", so your PF is entirely wasted if Shingen can't join the party. I don't remember was this math with or without elemental advantage though, as that's important for the full burst bonus. I can't be arsed to calc it again for now.
Honestly, if you're ok with doing it, I'd rather you drop Shingen entirely and switch to Hercules. The big problem with having Shingen in any team is keeping up with her burst gen, since that's pretty much the only way you're going to get the most out of her. Problem? Only wind has the stuff to effortlessly keep up as of now. Of course, I'm not sure about the other elements in the long run, light might(...?) be able to pull off having Shingen in the team in the distant future.
If your team doesn't keep up with Shingen's burst, what you essentially have is a soul that does super fast but weak bursts every few turns, which to be honest is a waste of a slot. Satan AW and Pluto don't sound like picks geared towards fast burst, Pluto's case is pretty much powerhousing with lego stacks and Satan... her role just goes everywhere tbh. I say Hercules will be the better pick, because either way you're likely full bursting at almost the same time as if you would Shingen if you wait for a FB, but you have the added benefit of a 700k dmg nuke (well, depending on your grid), a soul that soaks dmg pretty darn well, and a 25% def break on burst effect, which helps you hit the cap added with Satan's def break so you don't really need to invest any other team slot or eidolon around that. Shingen could likely burst once during the period waiting for a FB and catch up to actually participate in the FB, but you're not gonna be wasting a PF buff for a single unit burst, and considering that her overall dmg output is not gonna be dealing more than 100k/turn from Hercules' nuke and then some.
What bear said.
Also, the 2 other souls you can use PF reliably with on EX skill is with:
1. Arthur, cause skill 1 just gives you max burst instantly
2. Hercules, only with (insert element here ) Axe Neme Askal aka her assault axe, which gives +30 burst on skill 2 so you can burst the next turn if you get a double attack, or 2 turns later while the PF buff is still active.
