I’m not saying about lvl 200+ but, let’s say, very casual steel path (lvl 110-180?). I tried to use it with status focused zaw and, as you can imagine, I wasn’t happy with the results. Is there any way or hidden tricks to boost the damage dealt from it or it’s a dead exodia for now?

They patched out that interaction with Hotfix 33.0.11, mostly because it’s a performance issue. They did this with Saryn as well when she had a similar interaction with Exodia Force.
The Garuda interaction was patched, yes. I think the video does explicitly address this and points out it is viable with just a grouping tool in steel path, explicitly.
