Fallen Chrom Skills at 5★

Arcane Devourer Might: 16　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat, if unit's HP > 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, grants Special cooldown charge +1 to unit per attack (only highest value applied; does not stack), and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40% during combat, and also, if unit's Spd > foe's Spd, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat.

Fate Unchanged... Moves target ally to opposite side of unit, grants another action to unit, inflicts 【Isolation】 on unit and Pair Up cohort (if any) through their next action, inflicts 【Exposure】 on nearest foes within 4 spaces of both unit and target ally after movement through their next actions and on foes within 2 spaces of those foes equipped with a skill that can trigger the Savior effect through their next actions. (Additional action granted and Isolation inflicted once per turn only.)

Galeforce Cooldown Count = 5 If unit initiates combat, grants unit another action after combat. (Once per turn. )

Atk/Spd Clash 4 If unit or foe initiates combat after moving to a different space, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd during combat = X + 6 (X = number of spaces moved by whoever initated combat; max 4.) If X ≥ 2, neutralizes unit's penalties to Atk/Spd during combat.

Spd/Def Snag 4 Inflicts Spd/Def-4 on foe during combat. If a movement Assist skill (like Reposition, Shove, Pivot, etc.) is used by unit or targets unit, inflicts Spd/Def-7 and 【Sabotage】 on nearest foes within 4 spaces of both unit and target ally after movement and on foes within 2 spaces of those foes equipped with a skill that can trigger the Savior effect through their next actions. 【Sabotage】 Inflicts penalty on unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = highest penalty on each stat between unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit through its next action. Calculates each stat penalty independently.

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (17)		★★★☆☆
Atk (15)		★★★★★

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.

+Spd / -Res

The best IVs for Fallen Chrom are +Spd and -Res. Despite his Atk being a superboon, Spd is his most important stat, as it will help him create more follow-up attack opportunities. This will work will with his Galeforce kit as it can help him takedown foes with his extra action.

His Res stat is unsalvageable, so taking it as a bane should be a safe choice.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Fallen Chrom up to +10 to ensure he keeps up with the fastest units in the metagame.

Fallen Chrom Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Fallen Chrom Roles

Chrom - Fell 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

Fallen 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.

Fallen Chrom Strengths

Arcane Devourer works well with Galeforce

Arcane Devourer is Fallen Chrom's inheritable weapon that helps him gain bonus stats, reduce damage taken, and neutralize effects that prevent him from making follow-up attacks. His weapon synchronizes perfectly with his Special Galeforce, which helps him reduce its cooldown to 4, and accelerate it further with each attack he makes. This makes him a great offensive unit that can take more than one action, especially with the help of his Atk/Spd Clash 4 and the added penalties on foes with his Spd/Def Snag 4.

Fallen Chrom gains an extra action with Fate Unchanged...

Aside from Galeforce, Fate Unchanged... also serves as another source for Chrom's extra actions. Like its other counterparts, Fate Unchanged... also has built-in Reposition that helps allies move from the opposite direction of the user. It also inflicts【Exposure】on nearby enemies as well as enemies with Savior effects near those enemies, forcing them take added damage from this effect.

Fallen Chrom Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Fallen Chrom takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, and one blow from this type of weapon will deal significant damage. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

Fallen Chrom as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Fallen Chrom has Arcane Devourer, Atk/Spd Clash 4, Spd/Def Snag 3, and Inf. Spd Tactic as good inheritance options.

We recommend focusing on Arcane Devourer due to its limited availability. However, it is also possible to get most of these skills on one go. Prerequisites of these skills are available on 4★ units like Atk/Spd Clash 3 on New Year Panne, Spd/Def Snag 3 on Kent, and Spd Tactic 3 on Titania.
