+res -def Exalted Chrom help

His attack is still great and his speed is ok after you add in some horse buffs and his Falchion.

I was considering doing a L&D build which would give him 63atk 38spd after his sword procs and without other buffs. He can function as a mobile physical glass cannon.

Or you could do something crazy like double close defense and after his sword procs he would have 37res to help him fight dragons, and 43 def for all close threats.

Play to his res. He excels at fighting dragons when he has res. Dragons have seen a huge surge in popularity.
