Exalt Chrom Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (19)		★★☆☆☆
Atk (25)		★★★★★
Spd (6)		★★★★☆
Def (8)		★★★☆☆
Res (4)		★★☆☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

Neutral Stats for Exalt Chrom

Neutral IVs are best for Exalt Chrom, as he has 3 superbanes that can affect his usability greatly. Another argument for neutral IVs is Sealed Falchion's effect that boosts all his stats by +5 whenever he engages combat with HP < 100%. It's better for him to utilize that skill and become a well-balanced hero instead.

Exalt Chrom Best Builds

Pure Offensive Refined Exalt Chrom

HOT
： Sealed Falchion ： Reposition ： Moonbow ： -	： Atk/Spd Push 4 ： Lull Atk/Spd 3 ： Rouse Atk/Spd 3 ： Atk/Spd Solo 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is an offensive build for Exalt Chrom. Stacking Atk and Spd on all his skills and grabbing the weapon refine will push his firepower up, enabling him to potentially one-shot a lot of units. It should be noted that Atk/Spd Push 4 will trigger his weapon's effect, though you can also opt for Fury 4.

Budget Exalt Chrom

： Sealed Falchion ： Reposition ： Bonfire ： -

： Fury 3 ： Chill Def 3 ： Hone Cavalry ： Atk/Spd Solo 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a low cost low investment build for E!Chrom. With Fury 3, it will be easier to trigger the effects of his weapon, while Atk/Spd Solo stacks with the buffs it gives. Hone Cavalry is suited for all-cavalry teams, but you can also opt for Atk Smoke 3 or Def Smoke 3.

Exalt Chrom Best Weapon Refinement

Effect of Exalt Chrom's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Sealed Falchion	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: +3 Effective against dragon foes. If unit’s HP < 100% at start of combat or if【Bonus】is active on unit, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res +5 during combat. 【Bonus】 All effects that last "for 1 turn" or "that turn only." Includes bonuses granted by a skill like Rally or Hone and positive status effects (extra movement or effects like Dominance). At start of combat, if foe's HP ≥ 75%, grants Atk/Spd/Def+5 to unit during combat and foe cannot make a follow-up attack. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Sealed Falchion

With any upgrade you take for Sealed Falchion, it will make it easier to grab the +5 Atk/Spd/Def/Res buff because it adds another trigger condition. If a bonus is active on Sealed Falchions wielder, they will now activate the buff too.

Additionally, and more imporantly, the sword will now grant an additional +5 Atk/Spd/Def buff during combat it the enemy is at least at 75% HP. It also blocks follow-up attacks from the enemy so this is a very valuable effect.

For Chrom, it makes him very bulky against physical units as the only thing from stopping him becoming a physical wall is his susceptibility to follow-up attacks.

Exalt Chrom Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Exalt Chrom Roles

Chrom - Knight Exalt Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

E!Chrom is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

E!Chrom Strengths

Sealed Falchion's Buff Synergizes with Fury 3

Sealed Falchion grants Chrom +5 to all stats if his HP is 99% or less. He can also deal damage to himself through Fury 3, which grants an additional +3 to all stats. This makes Sealed Falchion easy to activate. Both skills give a total of +8 to all stats which is very helpful to Chrom.

If Sealed Falchion is specially refined, it can grant him an additional +5 Atk/Spd/Def! If you are at this point and can afford some more investment onto Chrom, you can go for Fury 4 instead. He will be a beast of a unit when it comes to stats when all said is done!

Chill Def 3 Lowers Tanky Foes' Def

Chill Def 3 inflicts -7 to the unit with the highest Def in the enemy team. This makes Exalt Chrom a great unit to fight against powerful, high-Def stat units such as Legendary Tiki (Young) and Idunn. Another perk of Chill Def 3 is that it affects them regardless of Chrom's position on the map making it easy for Chrom's teammates to take advantage of it as well.

However, it only affects them until their next action, so the penalty wears off if they are granted another action by support units. The penalty will be re-applied to them the next turn, though.

Sword Units' SP Doubled by Sword Valor 3

Sword Units gain double SP, provided that Exalt Chrom survives the battle. This is a very helpful skill when it comes to training sword units as it makes it easier for them to get valuable skills that greatly ease the difficulty in training these units.

E!Chrom Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Exalt Chrom takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Ridersbane, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take him down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
