Brave Chrom Skills at 5★

Geirdriful Might: 16　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1.) Effective against armored foes. 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, +5; excludes stat bonuses and stat penalties), reduces damage from foe's first attack during combat by 40%, and also, if 【Bonus】 is active on unit, grants Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.)

A Fate Changed! Range: 1 Moves target ally to opposite side of unit and grants another action to unit. Grants any 【Bonus】 active on target ally to unit and Pair Up cohort (if any) for 1 turn and inflicts 【Isolation】 on unit and Pair Up cohort (if any) through their next action. (Additional action granted and Isolation inflicted once per turn only. Granted bonuses exclude stat bonuses inverted by Panic.)

Surge Sparrow If unit initiates combat, grants Atk/Spd+7 to unit during combat, and also, if unit deals damage to foe using a Special, restores HP = X% of unit's max HP (X = unit's max Special cooldown count value x 20, +10; max 100). (Triggers even if 0 damage is dealt.)

S/D Near Trace 3 Enables【Canto (Rem. +1)】. Inflicts Spd/Def-3 on foe during combat. 【Canto (Rem. +1)】

Inf. Spd Tactic At start of turn, grants Spd+6 to allies within 2 spaces for 1 turn and 【Null Follow-Up】 to infantry allies within 2 spaces. Granted only if number of that ally's movement type on current team ≤ 2.

Brave Chrom Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (19)		★★★☆☆
Atk (12)		★★★★★
Spd (12)		★★★★★
Def (4)		★★★★☆
Res (4)		★☆☆☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Spd / -Res

The best IVs for Brave Chrom are +Spd and -Res. Boosting Spd improves his already amazing offensive potential and will ensure that he doubles his enemies for the knockout, while obtaining Special charges faster with the acceleration provided by Geirdriful.

His Res is a dump stat and lowering it further will not affect any of his matchups. Thus, it is a safe bane to take.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommand a +Spd IV when merging Brave Chrom to +10 for similar reasons above.

Brave Chrom Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Brave Chrom's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Geirdriful	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Effective against armored foes. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = number of 【Bonus】effects and 【Penalty】 effects active on unit × 2 (excluding stat bonuses and stat penalties), and reduces damage foe's first attack during combat by 40% ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and also, if 【Bonus】 effect is active on unit, grants Special cooldown charge +1 per attack (only highest value applied; does not stack). If a movement Assist skill (like Reposition, Shove, Pivot, etc.) is used by unit or targets unit, grants "reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special 'reduce damage by X%' skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials)" and "neutralizes foe's bonuses during combat" to unit for 1 turn. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit and unit deals damage = number of Bonus effects active on unit, excluding stat bonuses, × 4 (max 16; excluding area-of-effect Specials) during combat, and restores 7 HP to unit after combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Geirdriful

Refined Geirdriful grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res bonuses equal to 10 plus 2x the number of 【Bonus】 and 【Penalty】 statuses on unit, 40% damage reduction on his foe's first attack, Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat, bonus true damage equal to 4x the number of 【Bonus】 statuses on Chrom (capped at 16 damage), and 7 HP post-combat healing.

Refined Geirdriful also grants 50% damage reduction piercing to Chrom and neutralizes foe's stat bonuses during combat upon using or being targeted by a movement Assist skill.

This refine loads up on valuable effects and improves Brave Chrom's combat performance significantly.

Brave Chrom Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Brave Chrom Roles

Chrom - Fated Honor 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

Brave 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.

Brave Chrom Strengths

Geirdriful grants stat bonuses, damage reduction, and Special acceleration

Brave Chrom's Geirdriful is a loaded weapon with multiple effects that swing combat in his favor, especially when refined.

Below is a summary of these effects upon refining Geirdriful:

Condition(s)	Effect
Always	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
Always	Effective against armored foes.
Brave Chrom initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally	Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X to Brave Chrom during combat (X = number of 【Bonus】 and 【Penalty】 effects active on Brave Chrom x 2, +5; excludes stat bonuses and stat penalties)
Brave Chrom initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally	Reduces damage from foe's first attack during combat by 40%.
Brave Chrom initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally 【Bonus】 is active on Brave Chrom	Grants Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat.
Brave Chrom's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to Brave Chrom
Brave Chrom's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Grants bonus damage equal to 4x the number of non-stat【Bonus】 statuses on Chrom (capped at 16 damage)
Brave Chrom's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Restores 7 HP after combat.
A movement Assist skill is used by or targets Brave Chrom	Grants 50% damage reduction piercing to Brave Chrom and neutralizes his foe's bonuses during combat.

It is worth noting that using A Fate Changed! applies 【Isolation】 to Brave Chrom and copies any other visible 【Bonus】 effects on his target ally, which enhances Geirdriful's bonus in-combat stat buffs.

A Fate Changed! is yet another Chrom-exclusive Reposition Upgrade

Brave Chrom continues the trend of Chrom alts receiving busted assist skills; this time being A Fate Changed!.

A Fate Changed! is a Reposition effect that grants Brave Chrom an extra action after use. After using it on an ally, Brave Chrom receives all 【Bonus】 effects that were active on the target ally, excluding stat bonuses, therefore enhancing the bonus stats granted by Geirdriful.

These bonuses include, but are not limited to:

• 【Null Follow-Up】 from infantry allies affected by his Inf. Spd Tactic,
• 【Deep Star】 from Wind Tribe Claude,
• 【Dominance】 from Hilda (Genealogy) or Bridal Micaiah,
• Movement +1 from multiple other sources,
• and many more!

It wouldn't be a powerful Chrom alt without a broken assist skill, and A Fate Changed! proves us right once again.

Brave Chrom Weaknesses

Abysmal Res

Brave Chrom continues the trend of having terrible Res with his base 17 Res stat. With a Res stat this low, he will be a sitting duck against enemies that deal magic damage, unless both the damage reduction and stat bonuses granted by Geirdriful are active.

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

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