So basically I need debuffs?

I suppose I can save up for Joan for her debuffs but would going for her still be worth it if I move Cybele up? I kinda had an idea about the frames things before but didn't really get it outside of sometimes certain atck buffs wouldn't stack. Is there somewhere I can go to see which abilities fall under which frame or is there a way to tell? Would it be worth spending my resources from the advent on SP to unlock Joan or any other Soul to fit play

Yea as far as Eidolons and Weapons go it'll just take time till I have a good amount, I wish I would have played the last wind event to farm weapons but I'll just wait for now. Is their some other way to farm wind weapons outside of gacha and wind events?

What about weapon skill, I've been under the impression you only have to level the weapon skill of the main hand weapon, is that correct

Andromeda is somewhat unnecessary since the revive skill is not as good as it sounds, she just has the highest heal value but the 2 other healer souls are essential as one has a dispel skill and the other has a party affliction recovery.

Frames can often be guessed by the way they are applied, with some exceptions. Skills that inflict damage and a debuff are often a-frame and skills that just apply debuffs directly are usually b-frame. An exception is Mordred's Outrage which deals damage, applies a bunch of afflictions and a b-frame atk and def down debuff. C-frames are special so you can't really tell without just using it or looking it up. Eidolons have their own separate frame too so their buffs/debuffs stack with your himes but not with another eidolon of same effect.

Since I kinda doubt you'll be able to handle Ragnarok Advent stages any soon, Joan is an option to get. If you swap to Cybele, you can hold out on getting D'art but if you do get her, you can replace Cybele, though you'll lose a ex skill always having to have Sniper Shot on. Mordred is important for end game content and in general, she helps on most any boss. You could probably swap out Cybele for someone else as well if you go Mordred.

SR weapons drop from disaster raids which you can farm. They drop 2 defender weapons and 1 assault weapon, you want the assault one. All weapon skills apply, assuming you have matching elements to your himes.
