Wrong, you underestimate Grayfia. The reason why Strada did so well against Vali and the others is mainly do to his experience. Vali in particular kept leaving himself to openings which Strada took advantage of. As Strada said, "people who keep attacking from behind leaves themselves open". Vali made that mistake twice and underestimated Strada by steady falling for after images. Grayfia is a veteran from the Devil civil war so her combat experience and I don't her being as naive as Vali. In Strada eyes, Vali and Bikou have the mentality of kids in battle. The same won't be for Grayfia. Now can Grayfia beat Strada? Probably not but I'm sure she can give him a hard fight but as I said, Strada would have his hands full with Xenovia. Time stop wouldn't help Rias in any way. Ddraig isn't Fenrir. Ddraig has more than just physical attacks. She also has to deal with his long distance attacks such as his fire breath and there's the possibility that Ddraig can bypass Time stop with Penetrate. Rias constantly using time stop wouldn't last long. She would be overwhelmed. I doubt her Balor form would get stronger since the issue is maintaining the time limit and it's drainage of stamina.

The reason Vali didn't use Divide on Crom because there is a limit to Vali. Vali himself admitted he couldn't use Divide on gods class but does that mean Albion couldn't use it considering the amount of times he fought Ddraig?
