'''Barthe''' (Japanese: {{hl|バース|Bāsu}} ''Bath'') is an [[Ostia]]n knight. He remained loyal to [[Lycia]] during the [[Disturbance of Bern]] and did not betray them to follow [[Bern]], unlike some other Ostian knights, such [[Legance]].

{{analysis}}
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.


Barthe is the epitome of an armor knight - high HP, high defense, high strength, but all other stats are awful. This combination of statistics limits Barthe's usefulness throughout the game. He is not good at fighting, considering he is locked to inaccurate lances and has low skill, resulting in terrible hitrates. Barthe is also not good at tanking magical damage because of his low resistance, and he cannot tank much damage from axe users, because 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 accomodate 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.

Unfortunately, the promotion does not fix his issues in skill, speed and resistance, but it is the easiest way to give Barthe bonus stats 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]], because they can perform a Triangle Attack. While using three armor knights on the large maps in ''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 armor knights can be a chore, however.


Overall, Barthe has some good stats, but also many flaws that make him difficult to use, especially long-term. Ways to make him better and more useful exist, but they require sacrifices from the player. Most players end up benching Barthe because of the sacrifices involved in using him.

Barthe's official artwork from {{Title|The Binding Blade}} can be viewed in {{Title|Path of Radiance}}{{'}}s extras menu if a copy of ''The Binding Blade'' is connected to a Japanese copy of ''Path of Radiance''. This illustration, along with all other ''The Binding Blade''-related artwork, is inaccessible in the international versions of the game, owing to the fact that ''The Binding Blade'' was not released in those regions.
