Odin is probably one of the more easier bosses I've faced in this run. He has a lot of vulnerabilities. He has a big body, so hitting him is easy, especially since you can hit him where his "halo" is. He's slow. His moves are slow, with terrible hitboxes. This makes it easy to play around his attacks. Whirling Dragonfire has a far-range hitbox on first sweep(misses close targets), and a close-range hitbox on second sweep, allowing you to use an arte to avoid the second sweep when you are close to him(Soaring Vortex is my usual go-to).

He only has two really dangerous attacks; one is an instant attack where the end of his dualblade twirls. The other is after 50%; he can generate one of several pre-shaped electric fields on the ground. Nothing I can really do against them other than to pray he doesn't use it, or when he does, I am already in a position to avoid it.

Another issue is when he Thunder Fangs into the wall. I liked the idea of using Soaring Vortex after landing to get to his backside, but if he's against the wall, using SV when he uses Whirling Dragonfire will kill me. The hitboxes on Thunder Fang are pretty difficult to deal with against the wall as well(would usually kill me) because of the hitbox range of the dualblade 'in one place', so I avoid that as much as possible. I don't think his body is a hitbox during it though, allowing me to 'fall' through it, though you can still get hit even if you are "on him" on the ground, so its not completely 'free'.

At 50%, he will drop and use Null Field, reinstating his resistance to the elements. He will be vulnerable to all elements and weapon types for a brief moment after he does Thunder Fang, and the developers were extra nice by making him have a longer recovery time after it. You can guard manipulate him into doing this move, making it easy to start a Power Combo(sorry, I am NOT gonna struggle through all-resist =0v).

Not gonna lie, my power combo game is terribly basic, lol. I need to do better 😂.
