In the thrilling universe of Attack on Titan, a myriad of powerful characters exist, with the strongest among them being the wielders of the Power of the Titans. Although Pure and Abnormal Titans can be found throughout Paradis Island, only Nine Titan Shifters can exist simultaneously. Every Eldian, however, technically has the potential to become a Shifter.
Tragically, those who inherit one of the Nine Titans can only live for thirteen years, and many meet their end during battle, such as Bertholdt Hoover and Lara Tybur. Consequently, fans have witnessed many beloved characters transform into Titan Shifters. Despite each of the Nine Titans possessing unique abilities, they do not all have the same level of power.
As we approach the highly anticipated finale of the original manga by Hajime Isayama, *Attack on Titan*, and its anime adaptation, it’s time to present an updated ranking of all Nine Titans according to their overall strength.
1. The Cart Titan: Pieck’s Unassuming Powerhouse
Often considered the weakest of the Nine Titans, Pieck’s Cart Titan possesses several unique advantages. Unlike its eight counterparts, the Cart Titan moves on all four legs, transforming it into an efficient mode of transportation. Pieck frequently utilizes large structures affixed to her back, capable of carrying both people and weapons.
Demonstrating the Cart Titan’s significance, Pieck successfully rescues Zeke Yeager from the clutches of Captain Levi due to the Titan’s boundless stamina and high-speed capabilities.
2. The Jaw Titan: A Small But Mighty Force
The Jaw Titan’s primary assets are its formidable mandibles, which can effortlessly tear through any material, including the War Hammer Titan’s crystal cocoon. As the smallest of the Nine Titans, the Jaw Titan skillfully evades high-velocity attacks and swiftly counters its adversaries.
Falco’s Jaw Titan stands out among previous versions due to its unique ability to sprout wings and take flight, thanks to the spinal fluid from the Beast Titan.
3. The Colossal Titan: A Towering Threat
The Colossal Titan, arguably the most famous of the Titans, made its first chilling appearance in the series’ debut episode. Standing at an impressive 200 feet tall, the Colossal Titan remains the largest of the Nine Titans until Eren’s Founding Titan is unveiled.
Both Bertholdt and Armin masterfully harness the colossus’ explosive power, triggering a near-nuclear blast by transforming at the perfect moment and location. The Colossal Titan generates enough high-temperature air to effectively repel nearby opponents.
4. The War Hammer Titan: A Mysterious Force
The enigmatic War Hammer Titan emerges much later in the story, surrounded by a veil of mystery. The War Hammer Titan boasts the remarkable ability to create a variety of structures and weapons from its crystalline flesh, and it can be operated remotely, making it nearly impossible for enemies to pinpoint the Shifter’s location.
After Eren defeats Lara Tybur and consumes her spinal fluid, he gains control of the War Hammer Titan, though he never wields it again.
5. The Female Titan: A Formidable Foe
The Female Titan, known for its exceptional strength and resilience, has left fans questioning the implications of its gender-specific name. Annie Leonhart’s Female Titan has become an iconic villain, effortlessly eliminating numerous highly skilled Scouts without reaching the limits of her power.
Despite her failure against Levi, the Female Titan proves to be a formidable opponent for anyone else in her path. She possesses the ability to summon Pure Titans by screaming, although this tactic is rarely employed due to the risk of being devoured by the summoned Titans.
6. The Beast Titan: A Deadly Adversary
The Beast Titan stands out as a uniquely dangerous threat among its peers, particularly when controlled by the ruthless Zeke Yeager. This enigmatic creature left fans in awe when it first appeared, bearing no resemblance to any previously seen Titan.
Zeke’s royal lineage grants him a unique power: the ability to transform individuals who have ingested his spinal fluid into Pure Titans. This ability only serves to underscore the lethal nature of the Beast Titan in the hands of such a cunning and merciless adversary.
7. The Armored Titan: A Formidable Force
The Armored Titan, known for its exceptional durability, stands out among the Nine Titans. Its body is covered with several layers of interlocking armor plates, making it extremely resistant to damage.
With Reiner’s unyielding willpower, the Armored Titan becomes a fearsome opponent. In a critical moment of the story, it aids the Scouts by grappling with the Shining Centipede, preventing further destruction.
8. The Attack Titan: A Time-Transcending Powerhouse
The Attack Titan has been wielded by Eren Kruger, Grisha Yeager, and Eren Yeager, connecting them through its unique time transcendenceability. This power enables the Attack Titan to send memories and visions to its past and future inheritors, allowing them to influence each other’s actions.
Eren Yeager’s mastery of the Attack Titan has allowed him to take down countless enemies and even defeat the War Hammer Titan. The Attack Titan’s strength, combined with Eren’s relentless determination, makes it an unstoppable force.
9. The Founding Titan: An Unrivaled Entity
The Founding Titan is undeniably the most powerful of all Nine Titans, with its ability to control and manipulate all Titans, including the Titan Shifters, at will. Possessing the power to alter the memories of Eldians, the Founding Titan can rewrite history and reshape the world.
However, its true power can only be activated by a royal-blooded Titan Shifter or someone of royal blood who touches the Founding Titan. Eren Yeager gains control of the Founding Titan after making contact with his half-brother Zeke, who is of royal descent.
Once Eren activates the Rumbling, he unleashes a massive army of Colossal Titans, unleashing unparalleled destruction upon the world. The Founding Titan’s almighty power remains unmatched, making it the most powerful and feared entity in the *Attack on Titan* universe.
In conclusion, each of the Nine Titans possesses unique abilities and strengths that make them formidable in their own right. However, when ranked by overall power and influence, the Founding Titan undoubtedly takes the top spot, as it can sway the fate of all Titans and Eldians.
