Who's the best Titan shifter for Titan vs. Titan combat Spoilers: Up to chapter 45 of the manga

posted by Spikegilfer1997

So this topic is floating around community, thought I'd give my ramble opinion on it.

Colossal I'd say is the weakest.

Eren is kind of a one trick pony. "Rawr" *Charges*
Reiner was shown using similar straight mbele tactics, I believe Eren remarks upon him using nothing but offense, could be wrong, been a while.

The agility the dancing gets from her size is significant. My only issue is if she could get through the armor of Reiner.
And Annie, I think she has the best ujumla, jumla stats with a well rounded fighting style, in the anime Eren gets the better of her because he came out of nowhere with a bezerker rage. Even then, he had assistance and combat with him was never really her goal at that point, whereas he was trying to capture her. She has the agility to keep up with humans using maneuver gear, which Ymir is kwa no means zaidi elusive than. I have the feeling that her crystallization is harder than Reiner's constant armor. The reason for that is Reiner's armor was shown deflecting normal kanuni, cannon balls. But Eren nearly took his head off just with grappling, moves that Annie taught him. And she's zaidi than quick enough to elude Bertoldt, crystallizing a hand she could take inayofuata to no damage from the steam while destroying the neck.

So Annie would
Defeat Reiner
Defeat Eren
Defeat Ymir
Defeat Bertholdt

Eren would
Defeat Reiner
Likely Defeat Bertholdt
Lose to Ymir (He makes broad sweeping motions, the leaving a weakness to precision and Annie has been shown to dodge him, Ymir is much quicker)
Lose to Annie (If his death was specifically her goal, I have little doubt.)

Reiner would
Defeat Bertoldt
Lose to Annie (Again, Eren used her moves to beat him.)
Likely lose to Ymir (It's an issue as to whether au not she can pierce the armor.)
Defeat Bertholdt

Bertholdt would
Lose to everyone, he's not designed for combat.

Ymir would
Beat everyone with the possible exception of Reiner and the definitely exception of
Annie.

So I'd say
1. Annie
2. Ymir
3. Eren
4. Reiner
5. Bertholdt
I guess this is a girl power message, despite my being male. Levi being the badass that he is just balances things out.

Overall, Annie has a masterful and adaptable skill-set. Ymir is the one who could give her the most trouble, but if I had doubts about her ability to pierce Reiner's armor then I'm not going to think that Ymir can get through the crystal (Since I believe it to harder) And Annie has bested zaidi agile targets before.

Please maoni your thoughts in the comments, I like conversing with intelligent people, regardless of their opinion.

lovebaltor I agree with you on this. Even though I don't really like Annie, she is very skilled. She's kicked Eren's ass a lot and even managed to trick and defeat Levi's squad. Ymir's form is personally one of my favorites. It's pretty sweet, and I love how brutal she is. (Plus the long claws are pretty bad-ass) I never found the Colossal really...intimidating I guess. Yeah he's ugly, but all he does is kick and vanish into smoke. Spoopy. When Reiner finally came out to Eren about the two of them being Titans, all Bertholt did was flop about as a half titan on the wall since he couldn't do anything. (Except get really hot, and that was really all for defense) Eren is a one trick pony. It's even explained that he needs some fury-motive to be able to transform and kick butt. I don't know if the others do as well, but Eren's is like dead-set on having a motive. He's strong, but once he's run out of juice, he gets clumsy and too full of himself. (Which is why he got his head kicked off by Annie) Reiner is...meh. I thought the Armored titan was cool when I first saw it, but now it's just meh. He's strong due to that armor, but even then he has a pretty faulty weakness. (The back of the knees) Take those out and he's pretty much immobile. Overall, I agree with your opinions. Annie and Ymir use their powers to their full potential, and know how to use them [i]well[/i]. Nice to see some kind of an analysis article on here; it was a fun read ^_^

Spikegilfer1997 I was a it harsh on Eren in my opinion. His overall personality was initially the "Rawr *Charge*" tactic but he has taken steps away from that, not engaging the female titan at first, backing off when he realized Reiner was trashing him. But he still does succumb to his emotions at times, he's in the middle of a transition and certain conditions will make him revert to his baser instincts. More of Ymir's dancing Titan would be nice. Although I still find it kind of funny that Annie is 5'0 and her Titan is twice the size of Ymir's who's human form about the same height as Eren. But I'm glad to see it was worth the read, surprisingly detailed combat when you think about it.
