it is far from a perfect analog, but if you were looking for a visual example of how haku fights when not solely using hyoton, check out sypha’s  fighting   style ( two videos linked ).  this applies doubly for haku’s style in the jinchūriki au, because you can bet your sweet ass haku uses kokuō’s boiling release to float like sypha.  
haku isn’t a one-trick pony. haku’s chakra natures are water, wind, ice, & lightning; expect to see allllllll four in battle. plus, hyōton consumes a lot of chakra, so haku doesn’t bust it out immediately in battle; they usually save it for containing/holding enemies, quick transport, & unleashing portals once they’ve mastered the final tiers of hyōton. whenever possible, most of haku’s hyōton use is done without hand-seals, because using an actual jutsu rather than simply manipulating water that’s already in the area, takes a lot of energy. & in battle, you don’t burn energy you don’t need to.
as a whole, haku’s style is 99% aerial. they were trained as a compliment to a swordsman, & so they tend to leave ground assault to whoever they fight beside. however, haku & zabuza have switched it up when situations called for it, with haku acting as striker & zabuza buffeting with ninjutsu.
