[Bedivere sounded honestly confused by that assertion. Hadn't he just talked about how he wasn't nearly as impressive as the other knights of the Round Table? Though perhaps that was what Dazai found fortunate. And really, being a bit more obscure could help. If nobody knew his identity, then they could use that to surprise the enemy and catch them off-guard. But Dazai didn't know of the grail war until just now, so he couldn't be strategizing like that yet. Right?
Interestingly, he didn't take Dazai's comment as being made fun of. Instead, he took it at face value and gave it an honest answer.]
I certainly would like to live to that ideal, yes. The code of chivalry is very important to all knights. But as for what makes a strong servant, I would say 'a strong or versatile Noble Phantasm' is pretty important. A useful Noble Phantasm can easily make up for inadequacies in other areas.
[After pausing for a moment, he hastily added a bit more of an explanation:]
Noble Phantasms are like a 'powerful final attack' of sorts. A servant isn't supposed to use it carelessly, but it is a secret technique that could turn the tide of battle.
Aah, but that isn't the only important part. Being dedicated and loyal is important too. If a Master and Servant don't get along, working together is impossible.
