Overall
Bath starts out very powerful as a level 9 knight, excelling in HP, attack, and defense, but his other stats are rather low, and can be problematic, since Barth will have troubles hitting or avoiding enemies. While he does have the Triangle attack option with Bors and Wendy, their low movement ratings make it difficult to set up. If you do decide that you want to use Bath, he is best used primarily as a full-out tank against physical attackers, since he has such high HP and defense (but not magical attackers, due to his 2% growth rate in resistance). Otherwise, Bors is a more well-rounded option.
