—Billford, in a conversation with a villager
Billford (ビルフォード Birufōdo) is a playable character from TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga. He is a former knight of Barge and a subordinate of Sharon. He is also known as the Wild Bull of Barge. Alongside Sharon, he works as a mercenary in Sene in order to obtain resources so that they can eventually reclaim Barge.
Profile[]
Billford is introduced alongside Sharon when they enter a house belonging to an elderly woman who works with slave traders. When the elder talks down to his superior for being a woman, Billford defends Sharon by praising her strength and stating that she is more powerful than him. Afterwards, he and Sharon enter a battle against Runan's army in defense of Sene. During the chapter, he can be recruited to Runan's army by Sharon after Raffin speaks to her.
In the ending, Billford returns to Barge with Sharon. The two of them are also accompanied by Raffin if he accepted the Dragon Flute from Sharon.

Billford is regarded by many players as the quintessential Meme unit of the game, and for good reason. His stats and growths are barely better than Norton's, but he does come with one draw that even gets the attention in faster playthroughs: his movement growth. Not only can Billford keep up with the rest of your team, but he even has the potential to outpace them. While he may struggle to get much training during Runan's route due to vastness of the maps and amount of enemies carrying Armor Effective weapons, he definitely has a chance to proc movement on Holme's 2nd Route Split on Entombed Skirmish chapters. It also helps that the game gives you many Knight Crests, meaning that you could potentially have a 12 Movement General that can cleave through those pesky Cannanite bosses such as Ernst and Julius. Ultimately, Billford is about as useful as his movement growth allows him to be, if he doesn't proc any, he may end up forgettable, but if he does, he becomes one of the best units in the game.
