The amiibo Chrom is the Fire Emblem series figure of Chrom, the prince and swordsman from Fire Emblem Awakening. Nintendo Japan released it on 28 September 2017 and Nintendo UK lists it in Europe on 20 October 2017, around the launch of Fire Emblem Warriors. Our units come in the Japanese retail box. Like every amiibo, the figure stands on a round base with an NFC chip inside: tap it on a Nintendo Switch, a Nintendo 3DS with an amiibo reader or a Wii U GamePad and it unlocks content in a long list of Nintendo games, from Fire Emblem Warriors to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Chrom in Fire Emblem
Chrom is the lead character of Fire Emblem Awakening on Nintendo 3DS: the prince of Ylisse who leads the Shepherds and fights with the sword Falchion. He has since appeared in Fire Emblem Warriors, Fire Emblem Heroes and the Super Smash Bros. games, which made him one of the best-known characters in the series. This amiibo Chrom belongs to the Fire Emblem Collection line rather than the Super Smash Bros. series line, so it sits naturally on a shelf with other Fire Emblem amiibo such as Alm, Celica and Tiki. Nintendo notes that designs may vary slightly from product photos.
Fire Emblem Warriors and Fire Emblem Engage
In Fire Emblem Warriors on Nintendo Switch and New Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo says the amiibo Chrom gives an exclusive weapon, and scanning it again raises the chance of getting a high-value weapon. In Fire Emblem Engage on Switch it is a read/write figure that gives Fashion and Music Tickets for unlocking costumes and music tracks. Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes reads it for in-game presents or items, and on 3DS Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia uses it to summon a monster that fights alongside you. For a Fire Emblem player, these are the games where the figure is most useful.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Other Games
Nintendo lists Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a read/write game for this amiibo Chrom: it brings Chrom in as a fighter that grows and evolves over time, with the progress stored on the figure. Outside Fire Emblem and Smash, the compatibility list is long. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gives weapons and materials, Super Mario Bros. Wonder gives a power-up on a course, Super Mario Odyssey reveals a Power Moon, and Donkey Kong Bananza gives a giant sphere of a random material. Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Monster Hunter Rise and Miitopia also read it, usually for random items or tickets.
How amiibo Work on Each Console
On Nintendo Switch you hold the figure over the NFC touchpoint on the right Joy-Con control stick or on a Pro Controller. The New Nintendo 3DS family has a reader built in, older 3DS and 2DS models need Nintendo’s separate NFC Reader/Writer, and on Wii U the reader sits on the GamePad. The figure has no battery and needs no charging. Read/write games such as Smash Ultimate and Fire Emblem Engage store data on it, and an amiibo holds save data for one game at a time, so you clear existing data in the console’s amiibo settings before writing a new game’s data. Some games may need a software update first.
Japanese Packaging
The Japanese box shows the character name in Japanese, but the figure and its NFC chip are the same product Nintendo sold worldwide, and amiibo are not region-locked. The packaging only matters if you collect sealed boxes and want an English-language package to match the rest of a shelf. Inside, the amiibo Chrom works with UAE, European, American and Japanese consoles alike.
Who This Is Not For
The amiibo Chrom is a figure, not a game, and most rewards outside Fire Emblem and Smash are small random items that many other amiibo also give. Collectors who want an English-language sealed box should know the packaging is Japanese. Nintendo does not publish the figure’s height or weight, and the sword and cape are thin parts better kept on a shelf than in a young child’s toy box. Without a Switch, 3DS or Wii U the NFC chip has no use, and owners of older 3DS or 2DS models need the separate NFC Reader/Writer.
