Legendary Chrom Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (17)		★★★☆☆
Atk (26)		★★★★★
Spd (7)		★★☆☆☆
Def (12)		★★★★☆
Res (3)		★★★☆☆

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

See the IV Checker for All Units

Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

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.

+Atk and -Spd

Legendary Chrom's best IVs are +Atk and -Spd. With a +Atk boon, he can increase his damage output, and take down more enemies. With his rather poor Spd stat, it is ideal for a flaw.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

If you are merging a +10 Legendary Chrom, we recommend +Atk. With +10 merges and an Atk boon, Chrom's Atk stat reaches 66, which well let him take down more foes and be even more effective against fliers and armored units.

Bonus Stacking Legendary Chrom

HOT
： Randgríðr ： To Change Fate! II ： Curved Shot ： -	： Atk/Spd Prime 4 ： Spd/Def Tempo 4 ： Inf. Null Follow 4 ： Bonus Doubler 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build functions well through stacking Bonus effects to activate Atk/Spd Prime 4. Spd/Def Tempo allows Chrom to easily trigger Curved Shot in combat.

Close Counter Tank Legendary Chrom

： Randgríðr ： To Change Fate! II ： Bonfire ： -

： Close Reversal ： Quick Riposte 4 ： Atk Smoke 4 ： Def/Res Form 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a build that focuses on making Legendary Chrom a mixed phase tank. Quick Riposte is a must-have for this build, as his poor speed makes him unable to retaliate.

Legendary Chrom Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Legendary Chrom's Weapon Refine

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Randgríðr	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Effective against flying and armored foes. Grants Atk+3. At start of combat, if foe's HP > 75%, inflicts Atk/Def-6 on foe and neutralizes unit's penalties during combat. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X to unit during combat (X= number of 【Bonus】 and 【Penalty】 effects active on unit x 2, + 4; excludes stat bonuses and stat penalties), and also, if 【Bonus】 is active on unit, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30% during combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Randgríðr

Refined Randgríðr now allows Legendary Chrom to take more stat buffs from his active bonuses and penalties. It also provides him damage reduction of 30% on enemy's first attack during combat.

Legendary Chrom Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Legendary Chrom Roles

Chrom - Crowned 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

Legendary Chrom is a ranged physical attack phase unit. 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.

Legendary Effect raises Arena Score

Eff.	Atk+2	Spd+3	Def+4	Res+4	Pair Up

Pair Up and Eff.	Atk+2	Spd+3	Def+4	Res+4

As a Legendary Hero, you will gain a Water Blessing when summoning Legendary Chrom.

Additionally, being a Water type Legendary Hero means that during Water Season, other allies with a Water Blessing will receive HP+3 when they appear in battle with Legendary Chrom, and his total stats will be treated as 180. This will lead to a higher Arena Score.

Legendary Chrom Strengths

Weapon can nullify penalties on Chrom while inflicting penalties on a foe

Legendary Chrom has the exclusive weapon Randgríðr, which will neutralize any penalties on him and inflict Atk/Def-6 on a foe during combat when the foe has 100% HP.

This skill gives him a huge advantage in combat, and paired with the fact that it is effective on armored and flying foes, he has the power to OHKO a vast number of foes.

Exclusive assist skill grants him additional movement after repositioning an ally

When Legendary Chrom uses his assist skill To Change Fate! II on an ally, it will move the ally to Chrom's opposite side, grant both Legendary Chrom and his ally Atk/Def+6 and 【Bonus Doubler】, and grant Legendary Chrom another action.

Reposition is easily one of the most useful assists in the game, and being able to move an ally and grant himself another action is a huge bonus.

Can tank close attacks thanks to Close Counter

Since Legendary Chrom can learn Close Counter by default, he will be able to fight back against close ranged attackers that attack him.

When combined with his B and C skills Lull Atk/Def 3 and Rouse Def/Res 3, plus the penalties inflicted by his weapon skill, he is great at reducing the enemy's damage output and tanking their attack to follow up with a strong counterattack.

Legendary Chrom Weaknesses

Low Res and Spd

Legendary Chrom suffers from poor Res and Spd stats, so he is very prone to taking follow-up attacks, which can be lethal if the enemy is a magic attacker or dragon.

This can be somewhat alleviated with skills and buffs from support units, but in general, he needs to avoid taking damage from magic attackers and certain non-armored dragons.

Legendary Chrom Team and Counters

Teammates for Legendary Chrom

Líf	Altina	Lysithea	Brave Lucina
Legendary Azura	Peony	Brave Ike	New Year Peony

Strong Supports

Legendary Chrom can be used within any type of team, but he can benefit from a team supporting him. Brave Lucina can grant him buffs with her weapon, as can dancers like Peony and Legendary Azura.

Brave Ike can stand in as a tank unit, being able to take hits for Legendary Chrom, though Chrom can stand beside him as a tank as he has very low speed and won't be able to double on his own.

Damage Teammates

If you're running a Vantage 3 build for Legendary Chrom, you can run someone like Líf to tick his HP down when he attacks.

You can pair him with Altina if she's also running a Vantage build so both will have it ready if you are using Líf to damage them enough.

As you'll be scoring kills for Legendary Chrom mostly on the enemy phase, you can have him stand in as a tanky unit for your team, while you have full burst units like Lysithea to take care of other enemy units like tanks.

Legendary Chrom Counters

Brave Hector	Boey	Brave Ike	Nino
Robin (F)	Echidna	Legendary Celica	Annette

Triangle Adept Units

Legendary Chrom can be brought down by investing in a unit with Triangle Adept 3 on their A slot.

Units like Boey and Nino can stand in as mages that can use their own color advantage to potentially one-shot him.

Give them a low cooldown special like Moonbow to take him out in one go.

Tanky Units

Tanky units like Brave Hector and Brave Ike can take hits from Legendary Chrom and then retaliate either with a Distant Counter effect or when they attack him.

Brave Ike packs a lot of damage reduction in his kit and can take advantage of his color advantage to make sure Chrom barely lays a scratch on him.

brave Hector, on the other hand, has insanely high Def and can retaliate with Ostian Counter to potentially one-shot him from a distance.

Fast Green Units

Echidna and Annette can easily out-speed Legendary Chrom to take him out in one turn due to him being a lot slower.

They also boast high Atk to further improve their one-shot potential.

Legendary Chrom as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Inheriting Lull Atk/Def or Rouse Def/Res

Legendary Chrom can be foddered off to inherit Lull Atk/Def 3 or Rouse Def/Res 3. If doing so, you should try and inherit Close Counter simultaneously.

However, as a very powerful and rare Legendary Hero, we recommend keeping and developing at least one Legendary Chrom before foddering off or merging any duplicates you pull.
