Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Bartre joins halfway throughThe Binding Blade as aWarrior with enormous strength. His stats are good enough to contribute from the get-go. With A-rankaxes, Bartre can use almost every axe in the game at base level. A D-rank inbows allows him to useSteel Bows and theLongbow. Bartre can deal effective damage against enemyPegasus Knights andWyvern Riders. This is useful in several maps, since enemy fliers become more common over time. That said, Bartre cannot use powerful bows like theKiller Bow and theSilver Bow. His hit rates can also be unreliable, although his skill stat is not terrible.
Bartre's main disadvantage is his lowspeed. While he is fast enough to avoid getting doubled by most enemies, some will double him still. He is also unable to double all but the slowest enemies, so if he does not kill in one hit, he needs more than one round. This becomes more problematic over time thanks to his 30% speed growth. He also has poor resistance, which makes enemy mages dangerous to face against. Most units inThe Binding Blade cannot one-round, and Bartre is more durable than most thanks to high HP. For that reason, he is still good at combat as a filler unit who requires no investment.
Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
Role
Bartre appears with Dorcas in Chapter 11 in Eliwood's Tale, and Chapter 12 in Hector's Tale. Coming out of a nearby village after being told that Lord Eliwood was passing through. Realizing the Eliwood's small army, may need help fighting off the bandits, Bartre and Dorcas join the fight.
Later, in Hector's Chapter 31x. He once again meets, the sword-wielding woman that knocked him out at the Western Isles, Karla. Seeking revenge Bartre challenges Karla to battle. Karla luckily agrees to a battle at the arena. After the fact, when Karla asks how he got stronger, he explains that he has been traveling with Eliwood's army. Karla joins the army, hearing this information. Karla and Bartre later wed, thus having Fir at some point. Unfortunately, Karla's time with Bartre would be cut short by an illness.

Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Bartre joins alongsideDorcas inChapter 1 ofEliwood mode, orChapter 2 ofHector mode. Assuming the player went throughLyn mode, Dorcas will already have a significant edge against Bartre, having had some time to grow provided the player used him. That said, on his own merits, Bartre is generally mediocre.
Bartre's base strength is 9. This allows him to dish out decent earlygame damage, especially against sturdy units likecavaliers orknights, who happen to wieldlances most of the time (all the time in the case of a knight). He also wieldsaxes, a powerful weapon type that has easy access to 1-2range combat. Unfortunately, Bartre'sdefense andresistance are low, having a base of 4 and 0 and agrowth of 30% and 25%, respectively, so his staying power at the front-lines are rather limited.
However, Bartre's biggest weakness is his horrible basespeed of 3, even for the standards of his character class. For starters, since you need 4 moreAS than your enemy to double them, Bartre cannot even doubleSoldiers at base (they're not troublesome to eliminate, but evenOswin, an armor knight, can still double them), or knights, despite their naturally low speed. What makes this issue even worse is the speed of regular enemies on Hard Mode. Cavaliers tend to have around 7 to 9 speed, making them dangerous to Bartre, and further hampering him is his constitution of 12. It doesn't sound that bad on paper as it allows him to wield hand most axes without a significant speed penalty, but it comes into play when Bartre needs to use aSteel Axe in a specific situation. Not only will hishit rate be low, but if he misses, he will take heavy damage back by way of the enemy doubling him. While he has a solid 40% speed growth, he will spend a long time working his way out of it. Dorcas, whose main weakness is his poor speed growth, will be faster on average Bartre for 15 levels, while Lowen, whose speed is borderline, will always be faster than Bartre on average. Even missing out on one or two speed points can be the difference between being doubled or being unable to double. Bartre will just end up not killing anything unless you setup kills for him, considerably slowing your gameplay down. Simply put, Bartre is not a unit worth using.
For all of Bartre's flaws in regards to his performance, using and training him is required to recruitKarla in Hector mode. Despite Karla being considered a poor unit, her bases are still decent forthe next chapter, and she also comes with aWo Dao, one of the only two in the game. Keep in mind that to recruit her, Bartre has to be a level 5 Warrior. Doing this is far from impossible, and even with the worst possible level ups he can survive against her, so if the player wishes to they can promote him at level 10.
Fire Emblem Heroes
Role

Trivia

- Bartre has anunused portrait inFire Emblem Awakening, possibly indicating he was a plannedSpotPass character.
- InThe Blazing Blade, Bartre's growths are identical toDozla's fromThe Sacred Stones.
- InThe Binding Blade, Bartre has an unused Fighter palette, suggesting that at one point during development he was going to originally appear as an unpromoted character.[2]
