Newtonian chaos was about to break out on Earth. There was no do-over for this. There was no going back to the benches to figure out what to do next.
I don't see the big guns playing five-rounded Russian roulette with reality so Harry could have a big moment.

Alright I agree with you, however I do believe Odin has backup plans for backup plans incase he failed, and it was for her to take his weapon as her own, and for him to use it against her.

Battle Ground was the Battle Royal.

Battle Ground was not the Battle Royal. You had a frickin' Titan walk up and go toe to toe with a bunch of the big powers of the accords. but... how many of them died? Sure Titania got smacked around, still here. Odin, still here. Heck even the white court, the wizards, the knights of the cross, and Marcone are all still here. Sure, in another place we lost some wizards to an opportunistic Drakul and had a mortal kill a mortal, but in the big throw down? Not a single important opponent of hers was killed. Seems weird for such a dangerous situation unless it was all planned out ahead of time to at least some degree.

I don't believe so. The Stars and Stones will probably be the Battle Royal.

That is why I mentioned "rope a dope," if you are a boxing fan, and even if you aren't most people have heard of the strategy of the late great Mohamed Ali in the latter years of his boxing career. He'd lean back on the ropes for several rounds, yes, take a lot of punishment, it would even look like he was losing, but then when the time was right, he'd deliver the knock out punch. I'm thinking that Odin played rope a dope with Ethniu, and when she thought she had the upper hand, he delivered the knock out punch.

It's possible, but, I don't think he wanted that. Having a failsafe in case plan A fails is a bit different than 'lose my spear' being his plan.
That said, it IS intriguing that Chicago has 2 Swords and a Denarian on standby when a Titan comes knocking, and the third Sword coming in on time - almost as if the Angels (Fallen or not) did have sufficient foresight to predict a threat of this magnitude, and prepared for it. Almost makes you wonder if Lucy cheated in SF just to allow Uriel to upgrade his pawn to a Knight for this fight, though that may be attributing too much collusion.
Granted, Odin did have quite a bunch of Einherjar and 2 Valkyries ready to roll in Chicago too, so he can't have been completely unprepared.

Third Sword? If I remember correctly, the Sword of Love remained on the island and no one was chosen by Harry to wield it.
