Bernadetta is also a surprisingly good unit as well, thankfully we didn't end up with another Neimi (super cute archer girl who's GARBAGE in combat). From my writeup on Three Houses Edelgard route:
Given how she's my favorite 3H girl, I'm ashamed that it took me so long to realize how great Bernadetta is *as a unit*. I was definitely focusing way too much on her middling stats and so-so growths, and not picking up on just how AMAZING her personal skill is. Seriously, +5 damage to every single attack as long as Bernie is not at full health? Mentally ill women are not just better in bed, they're better in battle too!
Also, I didn't really notice until recently, but apart from Claude, Bernadetta is the only 3H character with aptitude for archery to have a Crest. Seriously, consider the likes of Ashe, Ignatz, Shamir, Leonie, Petra etc - NONE of them have Crests! That means that apart from Claude, only Bernadetta can use Failnaught without hurting herself. Also, the fact that she has a Crest of Indech makes her the PERFECT wielder of arguably the best bow in the game, The Inexhaustible. I have no idea why this was the reward for completing *Leonie's* Paralogue, given how the bow seems made for Bernadetta.
Bernie being such a good archer is a pretty big deal, because the Bow Knight class is really fucking good in Three Houses, I mean, 2+ Range AND Canto, WTF? Bernedetta benefited so much from Dancer support during the Crimson Flower late game, because with her amazing range and mobility, as well as the The Inexhaustible being a superpowered Brave Bow, she could always be counted on to kill 2 enemies every single turn. Bernie Bear is infinitely superior to that crusty old socialist Jew cuck!
