This is my steel path build, it kinda does works and does its job. Without a status primer use [Gladiator Might] instead of [Condition Overload], the riven just needs to have decent stats and increase your crit chance, [Sacrificial Steel] can be swapped with [True Steel] as long as your riven gives enough extra crit chance to get you to 100%.

I recommend getting Primary dexterity maxed(21p) or secondary dexterity to increase combo duration

Really simple to use, hold right click and neutral combo, use the forward dash to move between semi close enemies. If its an eximus or an extra tanky enemy like the acolytes then its more necessary to use the primer. The goal is to constantly have your combo counter at 12x(you should get only red crits around 7/8x)

You can use a lot less forma by not using [Sacrificial Steel] or by using an umbral forma. You can also avoid using a riven by using both sacrificial mods and [Gladiator Might]
