Hello @vein, and welcome to the forum!
I don’t have an Android tablet, so I don’t have your Xiaomi, but if you use the Smart Pen with it, have you activated it? That’s one of the answers I could find regarding difficulties with the model you mentioned.
That would explain why only a part of your brushes works. The thing behind this is, that a lot of Krita’s brushes rely on brush functions like pressure or tilt, or both combined in order to work normally. This is a usual issue that new users sometimes state. And there are mainly two ways to handle this issue, one is to only use those brushes that do not need pressure and/or tilt, or use a pen and display combination that provides this to Krita.

Maybe this would have info that could help:
What exactly does not work? Does it not paint, does it not show, does it paint weirdly. It kinda sounds you have a pen that doesn’t support pressure sensitivity, basic 5 is one of the few that doesn’t require pressure to work properly.
I didn’t buy its smart pen along with it, so i cant know for sure
It doesn’t paint at all. I use my finger to draw also.
If your pen or the tablet at all do not perceive pressure, then only a part of the brushes of Krita will work. Which brushes these are, you have to find out yourself.

Edit: Grammar
Krita specifically needs a pen with pressure support or most of its brushes won’t work properly because they rely on it in one way or another. You can disable pressure in Krita so everything is interpreted as 100% pressure. That will make them paint but not as intended.
Thank you, the brushes work now
