Nintendo shared new information about Chrom and Robin, the “Emblem of Bonds” and the new DLC Emblem Bracelet for Fire Emblem Engage. The pair combines Chrome’s swordsmanship and Robin’s magic abilities and tactical prowess to play with their opponents.
Their Sync Skill is “Surprise Attack,” and it prevents enemies from counterattacking when initiating attacks from terrain with evasion bonuses. Their Engage Attack “Arcthunder Sword” attacks enemies with a sword infused with magical power.

Their Engage Skill is “Other Half,” and it allows Robin to join in with a Chain Attack when initiating the attack. Their Engage Weapon is the classic “Levin Sword,” which allows the pair to attack from a distance with lightning magic.
Chrom and Robin share a bond beyond that of fate, and they show it in a conversation with Alear when both awake from their Emblem Bracelet at the same time. Similar to Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude, they are both considered a single Emblem.
