Problems with Odin

- Speed is not high enough to double anything, but a lot of his stat points go there
- Attack is too low to hurt anything without massive amounts of buffing
- Unlike Henry doesn't excel at either defense stat so can't really tank anything without putting effort into it
- Robin (M) exists and is basically a superior way to do anything you'd want to do with Odin.

So there are two options I think might work that Robin (M) can't quite do quite as well.

Get Blarrowl+, crank the speed with the enhancement, gain power from your friends, and make it viable to double with just natural stats. Overall I think powered up Owl tomes are better for characters with more balanced stat spreads, and while I think Robin (M) is potentially also strong with the Owl the benefits it gives to his speed are minimal.

Keep the blade tome, keep defiant attack, survive a single hit (which Odin's stat spread generally allows pretty well as he has average defenses and high enough speed to rarely be doubled) and use Brash Assault Seal + Desperation +Defiant Attack to actually hit back pretty hard. The issue here is you need to +SPD because even at 32 SPD he's getting doubled by too much, he's too much work if he can't bait, and he SORELY needs every bit of attack he can get.

I'm probably going to try the latter build soon now that I can actually use feathers on things that aren't +10ing Serra again and it seems very Odinlike-- also it's much cheaper than giving him an owl tome.

No problem!
