How strong is the War Hammer Titan in AOT? ( Titan power explained)

War Hammer titan recently make its appearance on Shingeki no Kyojin(進 撃 の 巨人 ) or also known as Attack on Titan final season episode 6 and it leaves us very excited because obviously, it's a new titan and we all love it when it comes to revealing new titans, not Eren though, he literally punches the Lara which is the War Hammer titan while it's in the middle of transforming, that's Eren for you lol. Anyways, today I am going to talk about the War Hammer Titan and how strong it is compared to the other Titan Powers.

Obviously, the War Hammer Titan is the 9th and Final Titan shifter power in AOT. In the manga, it appeared around chapter 100 or chapter 101 to be exact. It turns out that the user of the War Hammer Titan was Willie Tybur's sister, Lara Tybur...

MAPPA really did a best job in making Lara a waifu material lolol.

Willy previously told Magath that he saw the War Hammer Titan user when they were passing the Tybur house. When you looked back at the manga the Tybur sister was positioned in the back perfectly blending into the wall as if she could be the family's maid, if you don't know what I'm talking about here's an example picture,

Lara basically transforms into a 15 Meter tall War Hammer titan after Eren's attack titan interrupts her brother's speech, Willy. Here's one of the most iconic scenes in AOT...Eren quickly punches the War Hammer titan before it even finishes transforming and it leaves us speechless and it also leaves us with laughter, I mean... have you seen a scene like that in any other anime? if you do, please tell me which anime is it so I can also watch it hehe. Anyways, admit it or not we can all agree that the move that Eren did is not enough for him to overpower the War Hammer Titan and because of that his Titan suddenly got impaled by a giant spike made by the War Hammer titan that effortlessly lifted his whole giant body. We all know that by using Titan hardening the war hammer titan can create cool weapons or anything else that it needs from underground. Did you know that the Tybur sister uses this ability to create the war hammer titan? if you've already watched the anime or read the manga you already know that Lara's body is not attached to the war hammer titan instead it is inside the titan crystal, one of those is nearly indestructible. later on, Eren recalling his fight with the war hammer and would say that it was an annoying enemy, or should I say a tough opponent and it didn't have the vulnerability like the other titans have, what I'm pointing at is the other titan's weak spot which is their nape. We all know that in the war hammer's case it is not its nape instead it is the titan crystal where the shifter is. Anyways, in the first place, Eren tried to destroy its body including where the nape is but it didn't even kill the war hammer.

A brief note on this crystal or should I say crystal titan, we've seen the Tybur sister and Annie used this crystal to protect themselves but we don't know if all titan shifters can learn how to use this power, and for some odd reasons only female users can use it or it is one of the specific ability of the war hammer titan. Okay, I've been thinking about this after I've watched the episode where the war hammer titan appeared, what if the 8 other titan shifters can use the crystal to like, protect themselves? I don't know if it will be two times harder or two times easier HAHAHA. Anyways, if the theory is correct the crystal is war hammer ability and this ability to create a crystal around yourself especially the way that the war hammer uses it should be underrated. While in Annie's case she is just inside the crystal and she cannot turn into her titan unlike the war hammer's unique abilities can stay inside the crystal while it creates its titan and fights with it. We all know that the only way to destroy this titan crystal is through the jaw titan's jaws and claws so you could say that the jaw titan is super effective against the War hammer titan.

Obviously, the war hammer titan can create or form a war hummer using its hardening ability and its ability to form things from the ground is very reminiscent of the way Ymir Fritz forms titan bodies or help generate titan shifters from some unknown land where she molds the spacial ground there int whatever she's making, it is pretty similar to the war hammer's case because it is forming things from the ground. The war hammer titan war hammer is very long and it also has spikes on its ends rather than a flat surface to double its damage. While Eren's titan and the war hammer is fighting, Eren dodges the war hammer's strike so instead of making one big spike like before, the war hammer titan makes countless small spikes out of the ground and if you really pay close attention those spikes are made with mini spikes on them facing the opposite direction so it is not easy to get out once you step on in, as Eren's titan got stuck and can't escape the war hammer titan he goes crazy and keeps hardening his arms to block the war hammer titan's hammer but we all know that the hammer was so tough and sharp right? it didn't only breakthrough his harden arms but also straight through his titan's head as well, with just one swing. Before the war hummer titan gives its final blow we all found out that the Tybur sister can speak in or talk in her titan form asking Eren if he has final words. We all know that the war hammer titan is not the only titan that can talk but it is still cool if you ask me. At that point the only thing that can save Eren is Mikasa showing up which make me scream because of how cool she looks, Mikasa showing up and thunderspearing the war hammer titan, Mikasa thought that the job is done because she completely blew out the nape but basically she's wrong because Eren did the same thing, the only reason that the war hammer titan keeps regenerating is that its user is in underground and not in the nape. Now, this is when things got really crazy and at the same time, cool if you ask me. The war hammer titan creates a crossbow which is a weapon that needs to be flexible in order to work, it just fascinating because the war hammer's hardening can create a material that is flexible. The war hammer shoots Eren with a giant crossbow but luckily he was saved by our girl, Mikasa. Because of that the war hammer goes and creates many cool weapons and one of them is a sword and a nine-tail whip that can cut a whole building. Basically, Eren is very clever in this battle, he realizes that the body of the war titan materialized from the feet up so he starts finding the body of the war hammer titan.

When Eren found the crystal he immediately breaks the cord that connects the crystal to the war hammer titan that is when the war hammer suddenly stops working, if the other titan's weakness is their nape, the war hammer titan's weakness is the crystal. The Tybur sister then creates another partial war hammer titan and from it, a branch-like spike grows and traps Erens Titan. Eren's titan is still holding the crystal, it tries to bite through it but as I mentioned earlier only the jaw titan can break the titan crystal so it was a fail. The war hammer titan is pretty much undefeatable if the jaw titan didn't show up, luckily Porco's jaw titan showed up so Eren used the jaw titan to break the crystal. The only way for Eren to absorb the war hammer titan is by using the jaw titan as a nutcracker HAHA, obviously by that Eren gained the OP war hammer titan power for himself. I know you are wondering why the war hammer titan didn't keep forming war hammer titan body after war hammer titan body to defeat Eren, well as I mentioned earlier the was detached from the ground so maybe there might be something to do with it. But people say that maybe the Tybur sister used up too much energy to like, transform and stuff. Magath later points out that the good strategy for the war hammer titan is to make it use its power again and again so obviously all those cool creations, spike, and stuff comes with a price. Eren also mentions some ways for the war hammer titan can be useful for Hanji, usually, you can trap the titan shifters by sticking them underground where their titan transformation is pretty much useless not so for the war hammer titan. Eren tells Hanji that the war hammer titan controls hardening and creates weapons and stuff from the underground, in short, it was an annoying and tough enemy. The other annoying enemy part again goes to show how strong the titan power is and if Mikasa wasn't their Eren has no chance of winning that battle. The usual weakness of titan shifters doesn't affect him, he proves that he wasn't bluffing when later they found out that he uses the war hammer titan's hardening power to create an escape route and then sealed the hole to prevent anyone from following him. Now let's talk about Eren's extensive use of power when Marlene forces attack the paradise, you have to keep in mind that Eren is using the war hammer titan's power in combination with his attack titan so he created a spike after spikes throughout the whole battle, when he was being overpowered by Reiner and Porco's titan he spikes from the ground to stab them both, I was so speechless in the whole battle but then Pieck's cart titan shows up carrying an Anti-titan Artillery in her back, she lunches an anti-titan shot at Eren which gives Reiner and Porco more time to scape, This 3 vs 1 battle is pretty much two times harder without all the spikes and stuff, He basically manages to stay alive until the beast titan showed up and he wouldn't be able to do that without the war hammer titan's power.

Let's fast forward, since Ymir is helping Eren he was able to summon as many war hammer titans of the past, it is actually possible that this ability to summon more titan shifters of the past relies on the war hammer titan's power as well as the funding titan power. All in all if we ignore the founding titan and the weakness of the war hammer titan which is the jaw titan, war hammer titan could fare very well against the others. I mean, it has many strengths, for instance being able to make any weapons, being able to make all sorts of spikes that could literally lift up titans, being able to operate remotely from a place of safety because of the titan crystal and, being able to escape from underground prisons, so...The War Hammer Titan has a potential.

And That is all for today! gosh, my fingers literally hurt just from typing, not to mention my neck and eyes HAHA. Also, Rest In Peace for our potato girl, I'm still depressed because of what happened to her, I mean she saved a kid, she spared a kid, but then she was killed by a kid. I know I shouldn't be depressed that much because we all know that there are more heartbreaks to come, Hajime-sensei literally said that he's going to break our hearts more. Anyways, I hope you like it! this is the longest article I've made(i think) thank you so much! have a nice day/night!byeee!
