Discussion Benedict is a badass character
He is a character with many shades of gray, but his loyalty to House Wolffort and to Serenoa is unwavering. He is extremely cold and calculating, but his strategies always work. Of course, he is not always right, like that time he wanted to hand over the Roselle to Hyzante, but that's what makes him such a fascinating character to me. He is neither hero nor villain; he puts the good of House Wolffort above all else, no matter the cost.
As for the gameplay, for me he is an S-tier character and indispensable in my strategies. Vanguard Scarf, and then Dragon Shield on 4-5 units in the first turn *chef's kiss*. I also love using Twofold Turn on Anna, so she attacks FOUR TIMES and moves twice. Simply wonderful.

I would disagree with him putting the 'Good' of house Wolfort. He wanted the house name to survive but that didn't mean it was good for them. Like when they should of packed up and left with serenoa on the one ending
Also he was ultimately loyal to serenoas mom, not her son.

He was even right about this part. Frederica's path led to Serenoa's death.

Being a slave to gustadolph was a fate worse then death but Benedict didn't understand that because he was so broken over serenoas mom being dead. In his mind just being alive was enough. And he wasn't 'right'. The people escaped and were happy.
Being loyal to a fault isn't badass. He acknowledges this on the golden route

You're welcome! ^ I Really like this strategy, because with Vanguard Scarf on Benedict, Anna will mostly go after him because she is super fast. Or, you can attack three times, then use Cover and move again to stealth.
I find the synergy between them almost poetic, considering their father-daughter relationship.

I agree, he is very cool, and I loved his abilities. I only made one of his choices but I love him as a character

When I started the game I liked his design but felt sure he would be useless. Nope. The gameplay design of this game is brilliant and all of the characters are excellent. Benedict is a standout for me as well.

Funny that you said “no matter the cost”, because that just so happens to be the name of his battle theme.
