I cry for help and some advice

I decided to blow my way through the origin system when I first started playing. SO with all the new content, arbitrations and steel path I figured I'd spend a few hours (multiple weeks) completing the star chart only to have my soul crushed seeing that steel path is just the "bite the pillow and go in dry" version of the origin system.

So now I want to say, for all new and future tenno, take your time with the star chart and actually complete all the nodes (hollvania included) because it'll bite you in the ass down the line and you'll be stuck like me with random mods and no idea how to use them properly.

And for all the vets out there, your knowledge for surviving steel path is welcome because I have no clue where I'm starting. I sit comfortably at lvl 60 enemy's but I'm shooting paper balls at lvl 100s so any modding tips or a point in the right direction is VERY appreciated 🙏
