This is pretty old, but I thought I'd update it for future readers.
Myself, and most everyone I know uses Hermes for Odin. Most, if not all use a double wash with spirit and valor. Training does NOT have to be max'd however... a lv150 trying to beat odin with a lv134 Hermes is not uncommon. It seems you need to be around 134 or above ren level though to have enough damage generated to kill the buglers.
The most efficient builds use a Thunderstorm Mage up top to stun and damage the first bugler, and a cyclone mage on the bottom (Boars Head slot 3) to inflict Deserting status on as many heros as possible (hopefully the buglers, which are the usual limitation with a low-trained or low-washed Rally hero.
The ability to kill off the buglers, especially the last one makes valor important. Without valor, you need a perfect run from the dancer to kill the last bugler. With valor washing, you can have dancer fails without issues if she's lasted long enough to get Hermes down to the last bugler. Its the difference between needing 14 dances in a row and 20 dances...
Wash for valor and use cyclone and thunderstorm mages.
