“All right, if you say so. Crap, we can't be sitting here talking. The bandits are catching up to us. Stay behind me, Sister. This is a straight path with nowhere to hide... One wrong move, and we'll be sandwiched!”
—Barts, in a conversation with Enteh

Barts is a playable character from TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga. He is a resident of the village of Taurus and the adopted brother of Plum. He is also a close friend of Thomas.

Profile[]

Barts is the son of Daros and his wife, who died when he was very young. He was raised with the belief that Lan was his real mother. After Enteh is kidnapped by Yazam, he travels to his base in order to rescue her. He eventually saves her, but Yazam soon finds out about it and sends his men to hunt them down. The two of them receive aid from Runan and join his army. If he visits Plum's house during the chapter, he takes a Poleax before departing. If he enters his grandfather's house, he receives either a Gold Bag or Healing Fruit, depending on whether Enteh has also visited or not. After Plum joins Runan's army, Barts makes a failed attempt to stop her out of concern for her safety.

During the liberation of Wellt, Barts can find Thomas inside of a ballista and recruit him to Runan's army. If he is sent with Holmes after the first route split, he can rescue Plum from her owner in Map 14.

Barts' ending changes depending on who rescued Plum from slavery. If Holmes saved her, Barts and Rennie are revealed to be lovers and decide to live together in Salia with permission from Lionheart, who sees him as a son. If Barts rescued Plum instead, they return to Taurus, where he reveals that he has fallen in love with her and decides to leave, presumably to try to make sense of his feelings.

Personality[]

Barts has an informal personality, as befitting for a villager. He has a tendency to eat in an impolite manner, which Plum tries to stop because she thinks that it reflects poorly on her. He wishes to become famous on the battlefield and leaves Taurus with the intention of accomplishing that goal. He is also protective towards Plum, which is the reason why he initially opposes her decision to join Runan's army.

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Barts starts off relatively strong, with solid base stats that allow him to one-round most enemies in Maps 2 and 3. He can even handle the Map 2 boss with Lee's support for distant healing. While his combat abilities don't match those of Narron's, Barts performs well enough early on to justify using him.

However, Barts' weaknesses become evident after the first route split. Earlygame axes are notoriously heavy and inaccurate, which hinders Barts despite his otherwise decent Speed. Midgame enemies often wield light weapons like swords and carry shields, making them difficult for Barts to deal with. Given these challenges, it's advisable to assign Barts to Holmes' party, where the enemies are more manageable for him.

Another drawback is the competition for Hero Crests. With Vega and Shigen likely also in Holmes' route, Barts may not be able to promote for a while. By the time more Hero Crests become available, newer, more powerful units like Loffaru, Sherra, and Renee make promoting Barts less worthwhile, as their contributions far outshine his.

It's worth noting that at Level 15, Barts can learn Flurry, which useful against tougher enemies like Arch Mogalls and Draco Zombies. While this can be useful, the investment is extremely expensive and there are better ways to deal with them.
