When [[Roy]] started opposing the Etrurian abuse of the people of the Isles, Echidna joined up with his army upon the request of [[Larum]], a resistance member. | ||

Echidna joins as a | Echidna joins as a pre-promoted Hero in [[The Hero of the West|Chapter 11A]] of ''The Binding Blade'' where she will come out of upper yellow house on the right side of the map on turn 8. She will be ambushed by 3 enemies that can attack your units as well, so it's important to keep your fragile units out of range. She does have a small chance of death if she gets hit by all of the three enemies, but this is quite rare. | ||
She joins with high bases in areas such as [[strength]], [[speed]] and [[ | She joins with high bases in areas such as [[strength]], [[speed]] and [[Skill (stat)|skill]], but low ones in areas such as [[luck]], [[defense]], [[resistance]], and [[constitution]]. She also has low growths in every area besides [[HP]], ensuring that her stats will not improve much. She comes equipped with a steel axe which lowers her speed a lot because of its high weight and Echidna's low constitution, so it's recommended to trade her lighter axes or swords. Her weapon levels are fairly high allowing her to wield powerful weapons such as Killer Axes, Killing Edges and Wyrmslayers at base, this along with her high strength and speed allows her to be a potent combat unit in her joining chapter as well as many of the next few chapters as well, but her low defense and somewhat low HP means that fighting large groups of enemies is quite risky with her even if dodge-tanking is fairly viable in ''The Binding Blade''. Because of her low growths and low bulk she will fall off near the lategame, as she will have trouble doubling some of the enemies and one rounding them without a crit, even so she can still contribute well during the later chapters thanks to her having access to both axes and swords. She's a great candidate for both [[Durandal]] and [[Armads]] thanks to her high base weapon levels, but these weapons should not be used much before [[The Ghosts of Bern|Chapter 23]] if the player desires to get the true ending. | ||
Overall, Echidna is a solid unit with great combat for a few chapters, but will fall off before long. Even so, she's still perfectly usable in later chapters and is one of the few viable axe users in the game. | Overall, Echidna is a solid unit with great combat for a few chapters, but will fall off before long.

Depending on the village you visit in [[ | Depending on the village you visit in [[The Misty Isles|Chapter 9]], you will get access to the path where you get either Echidna or Bartre. Bartre is overall bulkier thanks to his higher HP, luck and defense, along with being stronger with a high 22 defense. Because of his high constitution he can use heavy weapons without losing speed, while still being light enough to be rescued by units like Shanna, and has access to bows which are useful for dealing with numerous dangerous enemy flyers. Unlike Bartre, Echidna has very high speed and skill which allow her to double and hit enemies constantly, which is fairly rare in ''The Binding Blade''. Most importantly Echidna has access to swords which are a much better weapon type than axes and bows, along with a high enough weapon level to use powerful ones such as killing edges, making her a much better boss-killer and her overall combat much more consistent. | ||
Overall, because of her more balanced stats and access to a better weapon type, Echidna is generally preferred over Bartre. | Overall, because of her more balanced stats and access to a better weapon type, Echidna is generally preferred over Bartre. | ||
