How to earn focus point?

I completed "the second dream", but I did not know how to use this true Tenno power. Please tell me how to earn focus point and select the build, many thanks!

Focus lenses.  They can be difficult to upgrade, and find if you're not running Plains or Orb Vallis bounties.

You can earn Focus by equipping a Lens on a gear item and gaining Affinity after being level 30. There are 3 tiers of Lens: Lens, Greater Lens, and Eidolon Lens. The conversion rate is higher as you get a better Lens. You can gain Focus through Eidolon shards from hunting Night cycles on the Plains of Eidolon as well. My advisement would be to put a lens on a DPS Warframe and head to ESO or Equinox/Banshee and stealth farm Affinity through Adaro, Sedna. To gain Focus through Eidolon hunts, you do not need a lens on any gear. This is the best farm as lens conversion is capped based on your Mastery Rank per day. There is no cap on Eidolon shards.

Farm up lenses from plains of eidolon bounties and equip them on a lvl 30 frame or weapon. I recommend starting with Zenurik lenses since Zenurik school is really good for general use.

A yellow orb will pop up in missions when you are playing with the item with the lens. You have 45 seconds from that point to kill as many enemies as you/your squad can to gain focus experience points. This will happen several times per mission.

Then, go to your operator chair and spend the focus points to unlock stuff.

Install a Lens on a Rank 30 piece of gear via Upgrade -> Actions,
gain Affinity with that item (a nuking Frame is a good choice), that'll get channeled into Focus.

More Lenses can be acquired from Bounties.

You select your active School at the Operator, there you can also invest Focus into the various Focus passives.

Mind, you unlock access to more nodes after The War Within.
