Is the new Chrom broken?

His Sealed Falchion gives him all stats +5 without the self damage drawback that Celica and Alm have.

His neutral IVs:
41 53 28 34 17
With all the buffs listed below:
50 75 50 56 39

The buffs I've included are:
Hone/Fortify Cavalry +6 atk spd def res
Sealed Falchion +5 atk spd def res
Fury +3 atk spd def res
Summoner Support +5 hp +2 atk spd def res
Regular Support +2 atk spd def res
Merging +4 hp +4 atk spd def res

Thats an easy to achieve 9 point health increase and a 22 point buff to all of his main stats, and it could be increased further with
Goad and Ward buffs
Boon/Banes
Blessings
Sacred Seals

Even unmerged, this new Chrom sounds really scary.

Yeah, he's a bit broken. Basically he needs to be taken out in one round at 100% HP or else he gets way too buffed. Kinda mad that the HP restriction on the sealed falchion is so lax. Even bringing it down to 75% would have been manageable.

In all honesty I don't think he's going to be all that busted, his res is piss poor along with his middling speed so any mage will trample over him.

I think the seal Falchion requirement is just much easy to achieve while giving great boost

Report

Not really. Judging from his base kit, Aether doesn't synergize with the Sealed Falchion because it could bring Chrom back to full health, losing the bonus. I believe DC/Vantage/QR seal or Brashperation are his best sets.

But with fury he'll always take 6 damage after combat even after healing up from Aether, activating his weapon's effect again. His base set actually gives him great self sustain while also keeping him in Sealed Falchion range.

Not really, stats-wise he is good as a cavalry unit,but not better than L!Ephraim.
Due to his low speed and resistance, he can only be used as a player phase unit and can be easily dealt with with mages and green non-dragon units. Even with all the buffs he can get, in a green units-dominated meta, his usefulness will become less appealing.
Bottom line, I think he can be on par or slightly better than L!Ephraim in terms of versatility due to his weapon refinery. But that's the best judgement I can give him so far, between tier 1 to tier 2.

sorry, as a tier 20 player who plays with only +10 units, we always OTK our opponent units, vantage will not work in this case. And I rarely face an opponent with vantage as B skill.

Report

will still be one shot by my +atk Micaiah. the Chrom you described is 100% maxed. not to many will +10 him even in tier 20. im guessing he will end up more like 42 63 37 43 25 as a average +2 maybe +3.
