'''Chrom''' (pronounced {{IPA|kɹɒm}}<ref>''Fire Emblem Awakening'' cutscenes</ref>; Japanese: {{hl|クロム|Kuromu}} ''Chrom'') is the prince of the [[Ylisse|Halidom of Ylisse]], the younger brother of its current Exalt [[Emmeryn]], and the elder brother of Princess [[Lissa]]. He is a descendant of the legendary [[Marth|Hero-King]], bearing the Brand of [[Naga]] possessed by his [[Holy Blood|bloodline]] on his right shoulder, and is the current wielder of [[Falchion (Archanea)|Falchion]], Ylisse's national treasure. He is the captain of [[Shepherds (group)|the Shepherds]], an Ylissean militia initially convened to combat [[Plegia]]n encroachment on Ylisse's borders, and led the combined forces of Ylisse and [[Ferox]] in wars with Plegia, the [[Valm|Valmese Empire]] and later the [[Grimleal]], fighting to prevent the resurrection of the Fell Dragon [[Grima]].

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 generic [[Maiden]]. He has a daughter named Lucina, who he and his wife leave at [[Ylisstol]] to [[The Seacomers|assist Regna Ferox]] with the attacking army from the continent of [[Valm]]. During [[Of Sacred Blood|chapter 13]], Chrom meets with [[Validar]], who is now the king of Plegia, for help, he and Robin meet [[Grima (character)|someone who could be Robin's twin]], and discover Marth is actually Chrom's daughter, Lucina, from the future.

==''Fire Emblem Engage''==

Chrom appears as an equippable [[Bond Ring]]. He can be summoned using [[Lucina]]'s [[Emblem Ring]]. In addition, Chrom is one of the [[Emblem]]s added through [[Downloadable content in Fire Emblem Engage|DLC]], and is paired with [[Robin]]. He can be recruited by completing the divine paralogue [[The Shepherd Exalt]], of which he is the boss.

[[File:Ss ssb4 chrom and avatar.jpg|thumb|left|Robin's Final Smash, including Chrom.]]

Chrom appears in {{SSB4}} as part of [[Robin]]'s [[smashwiki:Final Smash|Final Smash]], in which Robin summons him to [[pair up]] to attack opponents. He also appears alongside Robin in one of their victory animations. The games' director, Masahiro Sakurai, commented in his ''Famitsu'' column that he considered including Chrom as a playable character in his own right, but dropped him in favour of Robin, who he felt offered a more unique moveset, while Chrom was considered to be just "another plain-old sword-wielder like [[Marth]] and [[Ike]]".<ref name="gonintendo-ssb4-20140717">{{cite web|url=http://www.gonintendo.com/s/233268-sakurai-talks-lucina-s-inclusion-in-smash-bros-wii-u-3ds-why-chrom-didn-t-make-the-cut|author=RawmeatCowboy|site=GoNintendo|title=Sakurai talks Lucina's inclusion in Smash Bros.

In both versions, there is also a Chrom [[smashwiki:Trophy|trophy]] available.

He and Robin combine their skills in Robin's Final Smash.

{{SmashWiki|Chrom (SSBU)}}

[[File:SSBU Chrom.png|right|200px]]

Chrom makes his first debut as a playable fighter in {{SSBU}}. He is an [[smashwiki:Clone|Echo Fighter]] of [[Roy]], possessing all of his moves as well as his adaptations of Marth's swordplay. Like Lucina, Chrom's sword is equal in strength across the whole blade, instead of having a hilt sweetspot and a weaker sourspot that Roy does. Aside from this quirk, Chrom also has one other difference from Roy by having an entirely different up special move that is very similar to [[Ike]]'s Aether.

 

He also appears in Robin's Final Smash like he did in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'', and the Mii Fighter outfit and wig based on him return as well, this time as unlockables.

 

In [[smashwiki:World of Light|the World of Light]], Chrom was vaporized along with everyone else except for Kirby. Chrom can be rescued after defeating [[smashwiki:Galeem|Galeem]] and encountering [[smashwiki:Dharkon|Dharkon]], and can be found in Dharkon's realm.

 

* '''[[smashwiki:Flare Blade|Flare Blade]]''' (Japanese: {{hl|エクスプロージョン|Ekusupurōjon}} ''Explosion''): Chrom's [[smashwiki:Neutral special move|standard special move]]. A slamming strike which can be charged for up to five seconds to deal a more powerful blow; at maximum charge, it can one-hit KO most characters at 0% (with few exceptions), but will also damage Chrom himself. A clone of Roy's Flare Blade that utilizes light and shockwave effects instead of flames.

* '''[[smashwiki:Double-Edge Dance|Double-Edge Dance]]''' (Japanese: {{hl|マーベラスコンビネーション|Māberasukonbinēshon}} ''Marvelous Combination''): Chrom's [[smashwiki:Side special move|side special move]]. A combination of four sword strikes, which attack in different directions depending on which way the analog stick is pointed for each swipe. A clone of Roy's Double-Edge Dance without fire effects.

* '''[[smashwiki:Soaring Slash|Soaring Slash]]''' (Japanese: {{hl|翔流斬|Shōryūzan}} ''Soaring Flow Cut''): Chrom's [[smashwiki:Up special move|up special move]]. Chrom unleashes a fast upward slash then leaps into the air, before performing three somersaults with Falchion extended then descending directly downward. The move ends when Chrom hits a surface, the ledge, or falls to the bottom blast zone. The move could be used as a sacrificial KO. Functionally identical to Ike's Aether, with the difference being that Chrom does not throw his sword first.

* '''[[Counter]]''' (Japanese: {{hl|カウンター|Kauntā}} ''Counter''): Chrom's [[smashwiki:Down special move|down special move]]. Chrom assumes a brief defensive stance and will retaliate if struck in this stance, cancelling the foe's attack and dealing to the foe 1.35x the damage Chrom would have sustained.

* '''[[Aether|Awakening Aether]]''' (Japanese: {{hl|覺醒天空|Kakusei tenkū}} ''Awakening Heavens''): Chrom's [[smashwiki:Final Smash|Final Smash]]. Chrom rushes forward in a manner similar to Marth's Final Smash, and then reels back before performing Aether on the first person he hits in his path. This Final Smash can catch up to two people.

 

=====[[smashwiki:Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]]=====

'''[[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]]''': He finally made it to the fight!<br>

'''[[icaruspedia:Palutena|Palutena]]''': He's the prince of the Halidom of [[Ylisse]]... and the descendant of the Hero-King [[Marth]].<br>

'''Pit''': Marth's sword and Chrom's sword are both named [[Falchion (Archanea)|Falchion]], right? The designs seem a bit different. Are they really the same sword?<br>

'''Palutena''': The sword Chrom wields is Falchion, but Marth's sword is Exalted Falchion.<br>

'''Viridi''': And [[Lucina]]'s sword is [[Parallel Falchion]].<br>

'''Pit''': Falchion. Falchion. That word makes no sense!<br>

'''Palutena''': Falchion can become the Exalted Falchion once the [[Fire Emblem (Archanean item)|Fire Emblem]] brings out its true form.<br>

'''Viridi''': I wouldn't say that. I mean, [[mariowiki:Wario|Wario]] launches people with farts. Pretty sure the style of weapon doesn't make a huge difference.

 

There is no [[smashwiki:Codec Conversations|Codec Conversation]] about Chrom as they are reused from {{SSBB}}, which Chrom did not appear in.

 

Chrom's fighter spirit can be obtained either by completing his route in classic mode or buying it in the vault.

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.
