What are the Titans in Attack on Titan?
Eren Yeager – [Rank 1]
The strongest character of Attack On Titan is a former member of Survey Corps and ranked 5th during graduation.
He is the only one who had overcome Ymir’s power by inheriting War Hammer Titan’s power as well as Founding Titan’s power.
Initially started as a heroic lead, he gradually became the anti-hero in the series and committed violent crimes and killed dozens for the sake of Eldia.
He is also the half-brother of Zeke, and as a human, his main trait was the will to learn and adapt to the situation later on; this has also helped him become physically strong and significant in combat skills.
He is also a pro in using ODM gears; in one of the later parts of the series, we will witness him convince Ymir to lend her strength to him, and after that, he will showcase his true powers, which will be GOD level power in AOT.
With that god-level titan power, Eren then unleashed all the wall titans and created a much bigger body than Ymir’s and colossal Titan’s body.
He then used the Founding Titan’s telepathic power and communicated to all the subjects of Ymir to destroy the world outside Paradis Island.
So this is enough for us to understand what power Eren Yeager’s Titan possesses.
Although in the anime series, this part of Eren possessing Ymir’s powers hasn’t been covered yet.
So to witness that, we will have to wait till 2022 when season 4, part 2 of Attack On Titan, will release.
Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 2 will cover the final chapters of the manga and might be a bit disappointing as it will cover Eren Yaeger’s fate at the end, which is not something one might expect.


Eren Vs. Armored Titan and Eren Vs. War Hammer Titan
In season 3 and season 4, we have witnessed Eren vs. Reiner’s fight a couple of times, and in both cases, Eren has beaten Reiner’s Armored Titan with his hand-to-hand combat abilities.
Even in season 4, Episode 6, we saw a faceoff between the War Hammer Titan (Willy Tyber) and Eren’s Attack Titan, and there Eren inherited the power of War Hammer Titan by using Jaw Titan’s sharp teeth and consuming the spinal fluid of War Hammer Titan to inherit all her powers.
