Chrom (pronounced /⁠kɹɑm⁠/^[key][2]; Japanese:クロムChrom) is the prince of theHalidom of Ylisse, the younger brother of its current ExaltEmmeryn, and the elder brother of PrincessLissa. He is a descendant of the legendaryHero-King, bearing the Brand ofNaga possessed by hisbloodline on his right shoulder, and is the current wielder ofFalchion, Ylisse's national treasure. He is the captain ofthe Shepherds, an Ylissean militia initially convened to combatPlegian encroachment on Ylisse's borders, and led the combined forces of Ylisse andFerox in wars with Plegia, theValmese Empire and later theGrimleal, fighting to prevent the resurrection of the Fell DragonGrima.

Chrom is one of the three main characters ofFire Emblem Awakening, the others being his tacticianRobin and his daughter,Lucina. He is also a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, as one of the representatives of theFire Emblem series.

Fire Emblem Awakening

Role

Chrom, as one of the main characters ofFire Emblem Awakening, must be deployed in every chapter other thanskirmish scenarios. Chrom, unlike his sister, isn't outstanding when it comes to most negotiations or battle strategy, but he is skilled with the sword and holds onto both of Ylisse's treasures, Falchion and theFire Emblem. If Chrom dies during any chapter, the player receives aGame Over.

War with Plegia

During thepremonition, he and Robin are engaged in a battle withValidar. After the battle, Validar uses the last of his strength to fire dark magic at Chrom, who is pushed aside by Robin and is attacked instead. The dark magic corrupts Robin and causes them to strike Chrom with a lightning bolt, killing him.

In the opening cinematic for thenext chapter, Chrom, joined byFrederick andLissa, find Robin laying in a field, with no memory other than Chrom's name. Frederick is immediately suspicious, so Chrom suggests taking Robin to the next town to sort things out. However, the town is shown to be on fire and being raided by bandits, so Chrom instead takes the time to help the town. With Robin's help, Chrom sees Robin as a friend.

In thenext chapter, Chrom meets the enigmatic masked"Marth" during a cataclysm and Robin meets Chrom's older sister, the Exalt of Ylisse,Emmeryn. Robin is then introduced to Chrom's militia, theShepherds, and Chrom leads them to deal with the newly namedRisen in thefollowing chapter. Chrom is then told to askFerox for help, which turns into abattle of strength before he can meet thereigning Khan. After meeting withFlavia, she offers to help Chrom with the battle against the Risen if Chrom candefeat Basilio's swordsman, which ends up being the masked Marth from before, and win her the throne. After the match, Chrom learns Lissa's friend,Maribelle, has been taken byPlegia forces and he meets KingGangrel. While Emmeryn tried to negotiate the situation, Chrom getsinvolved in a battle, which ends in a declaration of war between Plegia and Ylisse.

The war soon turns into anassassination attempt on Emmeryn, which is prevented by Marth's appearance, and Chrom discovers Marth is actually a woman in disguise. After Chrom joins with Marth to remove the remaining enemy forces from his castle, Chrom moves toward Plegia, to beambushed and then discovers Emmeryn is to be put to death, so he launches arescue mission. The rescue fails and Emmeryn takes her own life to prevent Chrom from handing over the Fire Emblem to Gangrel. As Chromdeals with this loss, hemoves toward Plegia to defeat theMad King Gangrel for good.

The Valm crisis

Two years later, Chrom will become the ruler of Ylisse along with his wife. At this point in the game, he will automatically be married to his highest-ranked female support who is not dead, married to someone else, or Lissa. If no such partner exists he marries a genericMaiden. He has a daughter named Lucina, who he and his wife leave atYlisstol toassist Regna Ferox with the attacking army from the continent ofValm. DuringChapter 13, Chrom meets withValidar, who is now the king of Plegia, for help, he and Robin meetsomeone who could be Robin's twin, and discover Marth is actually Chrom's daughter, Lucina, from the future.

Afterdefeating Valm's forces and crossing into the continent, Chromrescues a woman namedSay'ri and she takes the Shepherds to meetNaga's Voice,Tiki. Tiki tells Chrom of the five Gemstones that must be gathered for the Fire Emblem, and she and Basilio give Chrom theirs, and they must be used to seal backGrima, who has returned due to the powers of theGrimleal. After araid on Fort Steiger anddefeating Say'ri's brother,Yen'fay, Chrom and his troops go after EmperorWalhart. Walhart does not go down easily, but after two battles with him, Chrom finishes victoriously.

The Fell Dragon

After Walhart's defeat, Chrom now has to perform theAwakening after gather the remaining Gemstones. However,Validar manipulates Robin into stealing the Fire Emblem from Chrom, and the group barely escapes. In an effort to recover the Fire Emblem, Chromleads his troops to the Dragon's Table, to find Grima's resurrection is already underway. Breaking throughAversa's troops, Chrom and Robinare separated from the rest of their allies and the events play out similarly to the vision Robin had at the start of the game. However, Robin weakens the lightning bolt that was supposed to kill Chrom, and Robin's doppelganger is revealed to be Robin from the future. The future Robin uses their life force to resurrect Grima and becomes his vessel, so Chromtravels to Mount Prism to perform the Awakening ritual and gain the power needed to Grima. After afinal match with Aversa, Chrom and Robin meet up withGrima. If Chrom is the one to land the killing blow, Grima returns to slumber for another thousand years. If Robin is the one to deliver the killing blow, they fade away and Chrom spends his time searching for Robin, to find them unconscious in a field once more.

Analysis

Chrom is the main character ofAwakening, starting at level 1 in the prologue. He has low bases, but high growths in all areas except magic and resistance. His defense growth is not super high, nor is it super low. He comes in the uniqueLord class, which its main gimmick is the use of theRapier andNoble Rapier, since they can only be used by Lords andGreat Lords. He also starts at an E in swords, meaning he can only use bronze weapons, and the ones in his inventory.Dual Strike+ as a starting skill is great as a way to increase the chance that he or his partner activates a dual strike.Charm at level ten is not super impactful as it only gives an extra five hit and avoid in a three tile radius.

Chrom should always promote to Great Lord, and get all its skills since they are really useful.Aether is a combination of theSol andLuna skills, but it always strikes twice, using each skill once, regardless of Chrom being able to double.Rightful King gives +10% to skill activations, which is very useful to make proc skills a little more consistent.

If the player does not care to use the Rapier and Noble Rapier in the long term, Chrom has some great reclass options.Cavalier in particular gives him seven movement, and the skillDiscipline for extra weapon experience. The skill is quite helpful considering how building weapon ranks with weak bronze weapons can be annoying. For promotions,Paladin andGreat Knight are more or less the same, with Paladin getting eight move, and Great Knight getting axes. Paladin getsDefender andAegis as skills. Defender increases stats when paired up, and Aegis has a chance for damage reduction from certain weapon types. Great Knight gets Luna, which is worthless if the player has access to Aether, andDual Guard+, which can be great to increase the chance to negate damage when paired up.

Archer is not the greatest for Chrom, as both Archer andSniper take away his ability to use swords, meaning he cannot use theFalchion, one of his biggest selling points.Skill +2 is mostly unnecessary with his great skill growth.Prescience is also not particularly attractive giving +15 to hit and avoid only if the player initiates combat, though it can be nice. If Chrom becomes a Sniper, he can gain the skills ofHit Rate +20 for a big boost to his hit rate on both player and enemy phase, andBowfaire for +5 damage when using bows, but Chrom only has two classes that can utilizes it.Bow Knight is the superior option to Sniper mostly due to having eight movement compared to Sniper's six, and he can use swords to continue using the Falchion.Rally Skill is a decent supportive skill, andBowbreaker is amazing for an extra fifty hit and avoid against bows.

For wives, Chrom should pick physically oriented ones to further boost Lucina's combat.Olivia is a popular one to greatly further her strength, and pass downPegasus Knight so Lucina can getGaleforce. This pairing also is great forInigo, as Rightful King gives Inigo more chances to activate skills, and is just a good father in general. FemaleRobin is another strong choice due to being a strong combat unit that benefits from Chrom's modifiers while paired up, having the same availability as Chrom and being a great option for getting an optimized Lucina.Morgan also gains Rightful King from Chrom, which he appreciates as well to increase the chance of his proc skills activating.

Project X Zone 2

Chrom appears, alongside Lucina, Tiki, andFiora fromXenoblade Chronicles, as a special guest from Nintendo inProject X Zone 2. He and Lucina first appear the chapter "Paralogue 5: The Fire Emblem", where they, along with Valkyrie, Yuri Lowell, and Flynn Scifo have to protect Tiki from the Risen and Kamuz's troops. The map is based onDivine Dragon Grounds fromFire Emblem Awakening.

He and Lucina appear to join the team permanently during "Chapter 20: The Power to Change Fate". After the player reaches the third room in the Great Tree, Kamuz reappears from a Fracture with a group of Risen and his own troops after a few rounds have passed. Chrom and Lucina follow shortly after, appearing next to the third stranded pod. They rescue the allies stuck in the pod, then join the team to fight Kamuz and seal the Summoning Gate.

Bio

Descendant of the Hero-King Marth and prince of the Halidom of Ylisse, a country that worships the divine dragon, Naga.

He wields the legendary sword Falchion, a weapon passed down through the line of kings. He is also the captain of the Shepherds, a militia that he established in order to defend the kingdom.

He is currently fighting to defeat the Risen that have appeared in each region and to prevent the ambitions of the Grimleal. This dark cult is dedicated to the Fell Dragon Grima, a monster who promises to bring about the end of the world.

Chrom is a brave youth with a strong sense of justice and deep affection for his allies. He was initially shaken after learning the truth about Lucina, but he now views her simultaneously as a trustworthy companion and his beloved daughter.

He trains daily with his sword, which often results in considerable destruction to the general vicinity.

WarioWare Gold

Chrom makes an appearance in the microgame,Fire Emblem Awakening, where the player must either move him within the time limit to defeatVictor, or wait on a space. On higher levels, one or two of his allies will appear.

Trivia

• Chrom is one of two characters to have dialogue in a support conversation not directly involving him. He appears inLucina's C and A support conversations with her sibling as well asRicken andNowi's C support. Chrom shares this trait withRobin.
• InAwakening, unlike all other characters who simply have their portrait mirrored when facing to the right, Chrom has an entirely different set of portraits for this purpose, due to his asymmetrical design. While there are a few other characters with an asymmetrical design, such asVaike, Chrom is the only character inAwakening and one of only two in the franchise (the other beingNergal fromThe Blazing Blade) with this trait.
