Barthe, as is typical of Knights, has high HP, high defense, and high strength, while all other stats are very low. This combination of statistics limits Barthe's usefulness throughout the game. He is not good at fighting, as he is locked to inaccurate lances and has low skill and luck, resulting in terrible hit rates. Barthe is also not good at taking magical damage because of his low resistance, and he cannot take much damage from axe users, as they will double him and have weapon triangle advantage against him. His low speed prevents him from ever doubling enemies, decreasing his damage output and making it harder to exploit his high strength, and his low movement prevents him from reaching enemies to begin with, assuming the player is not slowing themselves down to accommodate for it. | |||
There are a few options for fixing Barthe's flaws. He joins one level away from promotion to [[General]], and his promotion bonuses are good across the board. If the player is willing to use the coveted [[Knight Crest]] on Barthe instead of using it on a better unit, Barthe can gain a statistical advantage and a bonus weapon type for weapon triangle manipulation. Unfortunately, the promotion does not fix his issues in skill, speed, resistance, or movement, but it is the easiest way to give Barthe stats bonuses quickly, and it prevents him from suffering weapon triangle disadvantage against axe users. | |||
Another option is to use all three of Barthe, [[Gwendolyn]], and [[Bors]], as they can perform a [[Triangle Attack]]. While using three Knights on the large maps in ''The Binding Blade'' limits the player's options, a Triangle Attack is the most reliable way to make use of Barthe's high strength, since it is a guaranteed hit, circumventing his low accuracy. Setting it up and using all three Knights can be a chore, however. | |||

Barthe, as is typical of Knights, has high HP, high defense, and high strength, while all other stats are very low. This combination of statistics limits Barthe's usefulness throughout the game. He is not good at fighting, as he is locked to inaccurate lances and has low skill and luck, resulting in terrible hit rates. Barthe is also not good at taking magical damage because of his low resistance, and he cannot take much damage from axe users, as they will double him and have weapon triangle advantage against him. His low speed prevents him from ever doubling enemies, decreasing his damage output and making it harder to exploit his high strength, and his low movement prevents him from reaching enemies to begin with, assuming the player is not slowing themselves down to accommodate for it.
There are a few options for fixing Barthe's flaws. He joins one level away from promotion to General, and his promotion bonuses are good across the board. If the player is willing to use the coveted Knight Crest on Barthe instead of using it on a better unit, Barthe can gain a statistical advantage and a bonus weapon type for weapon triangle manipulation. Unfortunately, the promotion does not fix his issues in skill, speed, resistance, or movement, but it is the easiest way to give Barthe stats bonuses quickly, and it prevents him from suffering weapon triangle disadvantage against axe users.
Another option is to use all three of Barthe, Gwendolyn, and Bors, as they can perform a Triangle Attack. While using three Knights on the large maps in The Binding Blade limits the player's options, a Triangle Attack is the most reliable way to make use of Barthe's high strength, since it is a guaranteed hit, circumventing his low accuracy.
