Chrom IV's

Trying to decide on IV's for Chrom. I am trying to build him into a Pseudo-Healer + Dragon Check for some depth AA.

The build I am considering is:
[Weapon] Falchion (+eff) [A] Atk/Res Bond 3
[Support] Reciprocal Aid [B] Renewal 3
[Special] Sol/Aether [C] Panic Ploy 3
[S] ???

Th IV's I'm considering are:
(+HP/-Spd)
(+HP/-Res)
(+Spd/-Res)

Notable Calc: (+HP/-Spd) w/ Speed +3 seal can beat optimal +10 Nowi w/ -spd.
Haven't found a way to change up my skills or seals to let him take out other blue dragons though.

The thing is that Chrom doesn't really want any of those IVs. He wants at least some speed so he's not doubled by dragons, and he wants his res to be able to take a hit from them, and not all Nowi's will take a speed bane (I've encountered more Nowi's with decent speed).

If I had to pick, though, then I'd probably go with...... I honestly don't know. Probably +Spd since he doesn't have Quick Riposte.

Those are just the ones I was leaning towards. If you have a different suggestion please share. I just chose those because they seemed best suited for his intended role.

I considered this too, the only reason I am second guessing it is because I already have a M!Marth to fill the role quite well. He is more or less supposed to be a support unit with the bonus of killing dragons when I run into them in Arena Assault.

Gotcha. I tried medic build on Alm before his refine and it was pretty disappointing in practice. I hope you have better luck with Chrom. Been told quite a few times to put QR on B slot. I like renewal/falchion/aether just for self sustain. Works really well on fast unit with large hp pool.

Alright, I really like Chrom and can say that speed is the most important IV

As in, you don't want it neutral. Either get a boon for avoiding doubles, or a bane for making use out of the other skills.
One reason why you'd want the res, is for dragon baiting. But if you go spd+ you have to go -res.
And def is his best stat to go for, he wants to be able to bait. As much as possible.

So:
Spd+/Res-
Def+/Spd-

The HP seems nice, but is already high enough for panic ploy.

Now, for builds.
My preference goes to Steady Breath, Aether and quick riptose.
This way you don't need renewal. And Chrom really likes to have QR.

If steady breath isn't an option, you can go for a bond skill or stance skill.

As seal just go for close defence. Works great with his weapon and keeps him alive agaist dragons and strong armor units.

This would be my ideal Chrom (His def stacks up to 45 when defending properly and his res is a respectible 23, enough to survive a hit)

If you're using atk/res bond I don't think I would go for +spd. That looks like a OHKO setup to me and I would probably go +atk -spd.

I personally prefer +spd -res or -HP on him with some kind of spd bond, but I'm not so sure about that version of him without merges.
