New midway point video time.
EDIT: We get a good look at Heimdall (she's got a megaphone what) and Spider Mech Odin/Alfador. Also, apparently the other sis of Baldr was carrying a Baldr plush all along lol.
EDIT 2: As for the banner, I hate the fodder but Tharja has renewable Ice Wall so I'll try to nab a few copies of her.

Sort of amusing speculation that I saw is that the reason why we got two Grimas here, and specifically Grima and not "Hierophant", is because they don't want a repeat of this year's CYL where Grima ranked high enough to appear in the final rankings, but didn't appear on the list because "What gender is Grima?".
Only sometimes postsI see Grima raided Hortensia's stash of face stickers.

In all fairness, IS seems to be making an exception because this Robin is straight up Grima now.
No more possession shenanigans. No more "Robin is Grima's meatsuit" argument. They have now become one (hence why they "go away" after transforming like 90% of dragons do).
Got Attuned Tharja (+HP -Def) on my first pull and Noire (+Res -Def) on my 13th along with Rosado (+Def -Spd) and Merrin (+HP -Res). Tempted to go to spark,but I'll hold off for now.
Edit: Wow, Baldr doesn't die just gets shooed away (which given how prideful she was that was probably worse). Feels like Alfador is channeling the writers.

Went full circles and got one Attuned Tharja, one Female Grima, one Nomah, one Azelle(!), one Anankos, and one Zelestia (so close to max merging her...!) so I sparked another Tharja and used her fodder to update my Aversa.
Story wise Baldr is not gonna die it seems. That's... underwhelming (though that's entirely on me expecting otherwise). And in true Odin fashion, Alfador wants to sacrifice Rune to unlock some knowledge he really wants to possess because he's an ass).
Heimdall both as a boss and as an unit is so weird. Like, her weapon's gimmick is very much evil, but not only it can't affect Savior units (thus preventing it to be downright stupid busted), but she's fairly easy to tank and KO in return. And she doesn't even require modern omnitanks; my Book 7's Lumera accidentally ate a charged Frost Moon to her face before swinging her sword at her, so any fairly invested old unit can do the same with the proper kit (seen an OG Marth do it as well).
EDIT: Oh and Female Grima's forging bonds was hilarious. It's the equivalent of her OG self meeting her more nuanced FEH self and having an existential meltdown over how loose the latter has gotten with her pure evil shtick.

FeH in general tends to have a "softening" effect on villains you summon (further exaggerated by memes and occasional fanfic), although I will admit I quite like FeH Grima. My go-to Heroes Journey pair is Summoner and original male Grima.
The concept of Resplendent Heroes (stat bonus and being tied to FEH Pass) still annoys me but there are some very nice outfits. I like the Hel aesthetic but I do wish they'd go a bit harder with it.

This will make a fine addition to my Grima collection.
