His signature weapon is {{h2|List of swords|Falchion}}, inherited by the royal family of Ylisse as descendants of Marth; Chrom also uses Falchion's counterpart, the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem|Archanean item}} or Binding Shield.

Since ''Awakening'', Chrom has appeared in a number of other games. He makes an appearance in [[fireemblemwiki:Before_Awakening|an ''Awakening''-based mission]] in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Fates}}'', where he meets [[Corrin]]. In the crossover game ''{{s|wikipedia|Project X Zone 2}}'', he is one of three playable Nintendo characters (alongside Lucina and [[Fiora]]). Chrom is also prominently featured as a major character in both ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE}}'' and ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Warriors}}'', and is one of the many units the player can recruit in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}''. | Since ''Awakening'', Chrom has appeared in a number of other games.

The primary difference distinguishing Chrom from Roy is that his sword attacks lack a hilt sweetspot, instead dealing consistent damage across the entire blade, akin to Lucina's Parallel Falchion; this makes Chrom far more consistent and gives him vastly superior spacing abilities at the cost of partially losing some of Roy's potentially devastating damage output and KOing ability. Chrom's neutral attack, forward tilt and up tilt all have altered animations where Chrom holds his sword in a standard grip; forward tilt in particular has vastly improved range since Chrom moves slightly forward during the move, and the altered animation means that it hits much lower as well, being able to hit ledge-hanging opponents. Additionally, Chrom does not have flame properties on his up smash, down aerial, or any of his special moves, unlike Roy. His [[Flare Blade]] is nearly identical in function to Roy's version, although it uses the [[normal]] effect, and it is aesthetically different as well. His [[Double-Edge Dance]] is nearly identical in function to Lucina's Dancing Blade, due to its lack of a hilt sweetspot, and the finishing hits not using the flame effect. His up special, [[Soaring Slash]], is a unique move that is functionally similar to Ike's [[Aether]]; it features Chrom ascending while twirling with his sword in his hand before quickly descending downward, albeit without throwing the sword up first; while the move offers decent vertical distance, the move's near-complete lack of horizontal distance, coupled with it being Chrom's only recovery option, results in Chrom's recovery often being widely regarded as one of the worst in the entire game. His [[Counter]] is nearly identical to Roy's version, but does not use the flame effect, and deals slightly more knockback. Finally, his Final Smash, [[Awakening Aether]], is a unique move, with Chrom dashing forward to catch his opponents rather than standing still. Additionally Chrom has a unique victory quote if he wins against Lucina; in any of his three victory screens, he may say, "Our bond is stronger than steel." | The primary difference distinguishing Chrom from Roy is that his sword attacks lack a hilt sweetspot, instead dealing consistent damage across the entire blade, akin to Lucina's Parallel Falchion; this makes Chrom far more consistent and gives him vastly superior spacing abilities at the cost of partially losing some of Roy's potentially devastating damage output and KOing ability.

*Chrom's role in Lucina and Robin's reveal trailer for ''Smash 4'' has become memetic among the community, combined in the western fanbase with the presence of Captain Falcon, who is already memetic around the fandom; in the Japanese fanbase, it is instead more commonly combined with the "No, you'll get it today" ("{{ja|なくはないです。|Naku wa nai desu.}}", roughly "''Not really''") subtitle at the end of trailer. The phrase itself also appears as one of randomly created [[name]]s in both ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' (much like how "[[John|NOJOHNS]]" is in the English version). | *Chrom's role in Lucina and Robin's reveal trailer for ''Smash 4'' has become memetic among the community, combined in the western fanbase with the presence of Captain Falcon, who is already memetic around the fandom; in the Japanese fanbase, it is instead more commonly combined with the "No, you'll get it today" ("{{ja|なくはないです。|Naku wa nai desu.}}", roughly "''Not really''") subtitle at the end of trailer.
