Eh, I was doing theory emblem in that post, as using a Warrior requires either training one of Ward or Lot, or not getting Echidna, neither of which I really feel like doing. And FE6 hit-rates have made me salty towards axes.
Although since I've always gone Echidna route, I don't really know how useful Bartre would be. Is there any situation where he would be more beneficial than Echidna?
