>When is the right time to send your warriors to Valhalla?

You mean Asgard, right? Anyway, when it comes to timing you can wait until just before using up the final period in the chapter to send the required amount of warriors. So you have basically the entire chapter to recruit, train and send the ones that will fulfill the conditions. You're not obligated to send all your warriors, the bare minimum will suffice.

>I suppose I'm first mean to fulfill their traits.

Absolutely. Keep in mind what Freya says they'll need at the beginning of the chapter (write it down if you must, it won't be repeated) and play through the game normally. Eventually you'll come across warriors that will satisfy 1 or (if you're lucky) 2 of the conditions if trained properly. Sometime it'd be someone you already had with you from a previous chapter.

>There's a whole lot of stuff in the menus

It's a good idea to level character skills since those aid in battle and improving stats (if you're intent on keeping the recruit with you) and character traits are mostly for the purpose of fulfilling conditions, so don't waste skill points on useless traits because they do nothing in combat (although raising them raises the character's Hero Rating, which probably influences the items you receive from Freya).

Also, yes... Hard Mode is the only mode you should be playing. You don't have to worry about all your recruits starting out at Level 1 because you will almost always have enough points in the EXP orb to help them catch up to the rest of the team.

The game's A ending absolutely requires a guide because it's so easy to screw yourself over from the get-go and get stuck on the B ending route. Basically, you have to lower Valkyrie's Seal Value down enough by a certain point while simultaneously keeping her Estimated Worth up enough to avoid the C ending (not-so-instant Game Over).
