Attack on Titan Strongest Character Ranking

No. 20: Marcel Galliard (Jaw Titan Power Level)

Starting off our list at number 20 is Marcel Galliard, the former leader of the Marley Warriors and the original owner of the Jaw Titan.

Marcel was an elite talent, excelling in both intelligence and physical stats, making him the clear standout among Reiner and the other candidates.

His shocking exit early on at the hands of Ymir's Pure Titan was a tragedy, but we can gauge his true potential by looking at the Lore and the later performances of Porco and Falco.

He had a tactical eye for spotting an enemy's weak point, a combat sense similar to the prodigy Gabi Brown.

However, despite his potential, his early death means he lacks the sustained combat Feats of the heavy hitters higher up on this list.

He’s a "What If" character with massive potential, but he settles here for now.

No. 19: Gabi Brown (Combat Skill & Accuracy)

Next up is Gabi Brown, a Warrior candidate who boasts inhuman accuracy and insane battlefield intuition.

She mastered the Anti-Titan rifle, famously sniping the neck of a Titan from massive distances and even decapitating Eren just as he was about to transform—a feat that honestly feels Ackerman-tier.

I ranked her above Marcel because she achieved high-level kills as a normal human that even some Titan Shifters couldn't pull off.

That said, she lacks the close-quarters durability and the raw destructive mass of the actual Titans.

While she's a sniping god, her overall Power scaling in a direct brawl is limited compared to those with Titan bodies or sheer fanaticism like Floch.

No. 18: Floch Forster (The Devil's Resolve)

The sole survivor of Erwin Smith’s final charge, Floch Forster, takes the 18th spot.

Starting as a mediocre recruit, his survival through that hell transformed him into a cold, ruthless soldier who worships "The Devil."

He doesn't have Gabi's natural talent, but his greatest weapon is a suicidal level of conviction that makes him terrifying.

Watching him take on an entire fleet with Thunder Spears was a massive Hype moment that proved he can hang with the Scout veterans.

While Gabi has better technical skill, Floch’s ability to shift the battlefield through pure madness gives him the edge here.

Of course, he still hits a wall when faced with the natural combat instincts and raw strength of an Ackerman like Mikasa.

No. 17: Miche Zacharius (Humanity's Second Strongest)

Miche Zacharius was long considered "Humanity’s Second Strongest Soldier," only behind the legendary Levi.

His standout trait was his supernatural sense of smell to detect Titans and his ability to solo multiple Titans—a feat even the Levi Squad struggled with.

While Floch fights with madness, Miche fights with refined technique and a massive, powerful frame.

He was the pillar of the Scouts, and had it not been for the Beast Titan's "out of nowhere" rock-throwing, he would have racked up way more kills.

However, he stands below the Shifters because the sheer reach and unique abilities of characters like Zeke proved to be too much for even his elite human skills.

He’s the king of fighting Pure Titans, but Shifters are a different ball game.

No. 16: Zeke Yeager (Beast Titan Power Level)

Marley’s "Warchief" and the owner of the Beast Titan, Zeke Yeager, grabs the 16th spot.

With his royal blood allowing him to control Pure Titans and his baseball-honed rock-throwing, he became a weapon of mass destruction that nearly wiped out the Scouts.

Even masters like Miche find it nearly impossible to even enter his range because of his overwhelming suppressive fire.

But you guys know Zeke's fatal flaw: he’s a glass cannon in close quarters.

His reaction speed is slow compared to a martial arts master like Annie, who would absolutely dismantle him if she got inside his guard.

Zeke is an OP character as a commander, but in a 1v1 brawl, his ranking is capped by his lack of mobility.

No. 15: Annie Leonhart (Female Titan Power Level)

Annie Leonhart and her Female Titan terrified fans with her elite Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills.

She is one of the few Shifters who can translate high-level human martial arts into her Titan form, and her ability to "harden" specific spots instantly makes her a nightmare to attack.

I’d bet on her to close the gap on Zeke and take him down with a submission hold before he could even throw a rock.

However, the Female Titan is a jack-of-all-trades and lacks a true one-hit-kill move.

Against someone like Porco, whose Jaw Titan can literally bite through any hardening, her defense risks being completely shredded.

She's a technical queen, but raw Titan traits eventually push her down the list.

No. 14: Porco Galliard (Jaw Titan Power Level)

The man with the strongest bite in the series, Porco Galliard, takes the 14th spot.

His Jaw Titan has the terrifying power to crunch through the War Hammer Titan’s crystal—the toughest defense in the series.

While Annie has the tech, Porco has the "armor-piercing" claws and teeth that render most defenses useless.

His agility also surpasses almost every other Titan, making him a threat to both soldiers and Shifters alike.

The only reason he isn't higher is his hot-headed nature, which often led to him being outplayed by tactical geniuses like Pieck.

He has the offensive stats, but his low durability and temper hold him back from the top 10.

No. 13: Pieck Finger (Cart Titan Power Level)

The high-IQ strategist of the Marley Warriors, Pieck Finger, claims the 13th rank.

While the Cart Titan isn't a brawler, her insane endurance (staying transformed for months) and tactical fire support are unmatched.

She doesn't have Porco's speed, but she’s a tactical genius who understands the flow of the entire battlefield.

Her ability to eject and re-transform instantly makes her surprisingly hard to kill in a Titan-on-Titan skirmish.

However, she relies heavily on her gear and situational timing.

Against a tank like Reiner, her machine guns might not have the "oomph" to get the job done in a fair 1v1.

No. 12: Reiner Braun (Armored Titan Power Level)

The man who was the "wall" for so much of the story, Reiner Braun, lands at number 12.

His hardened skin provides the ultimate defense, and his tackle can shatter the gates of Wall Maria.

Despite being the community's favorite "suffering" meme, his raw stats as a warrior are incredibly high, and his late-game resolve is something to behold.

He can tank shots that would vaporize Pieck, making him the ultimate frontline bruiser.

But the Power scaling takes a massive leap when you hit the Colossal Titan tier.

Reiner's armor is useless against the sheer heat and mass of Bertholdt, who can literally kick the Armored Titan across a city.

No. 11: Bertholdt Hoover (Colossal Titan Power Level)

The original "God of Destruction," Bertholdt Hoover, takes the 11th spot.

His strength comes from pure scale—the steam emission and the nuclear-level explosion upon transformation are game-changers.

He can crush Reiner’s armor through sheer weight and heat without even trying.

In the final Shiganshina battle, a focused Bertholdt was nearly untouchable, handling Mikasa and Armin at the same time with zero openings.

So why isn't he top 10?

Because the Colossal Titan has a massive stamina drain and a strict time limit.

Someone like Armin, who has the same power but a far higher "Battle IQ," knows exactly how to manipulate those limits to win the long game.

No. 10: Armin Arlert (Colossal Titan Power Level)

Taking the 10th spot is Armin Arlert, who inherited the Colossal Titan and paired it with his genius intellect.

Armin uses his destructive power like a surgical strike, as seen when he annihilated the Marleyan port.

He is essentially Bertholdt with a massive brain-buff, knowing exactly when to trigger the explosion for maximum impact.

He also has the cold-blooded resolve to "discard his humanity" to achieve a goal, which is a key stat in this world.

However, outside of his Titan form, Armin is just a regular human with average physicals.

In a situation where he can't transform, he’s helpless against the OP characters with Ackerman blood, like Mikasa.

No. 9: Mikasa Ackerman (Humanity's Strongest Ace)

Mikasa Ackerman, the woman who fought like an entire brigade just to protect Eren, is our number 9.

With her Ackerman genes awakened, her physical stats and combat instincts are beyond human, allowing her to outmaneuver and butcher Shifters.

Against someone like Armin, her speed and assassination skills could likely take him down before he could even bite his hand.

With Thunder Spears in hand, she became a one-woman army capable of soloing the Armored Titan.

The only reason she isn't higher is that she still lacks the "old man strength" and raw deviousness of her mentor, Kenny Ackerman.

She has the speed, but Kenny has the experience in killing humans—a much harder task than killing mindless Titans.

No. 8: Kenny Ackerman (Kenny the Ripper Power Level)

Levi's mentor and the man who terrorized the underground, "Kenny the Ripper," takes the 8th spot.

As an Ackerman specialized in Anti-Personnel ODM gear, he doesn't just kill Titans—he’s a professional at hunting people.

While Mikasa has a straightforward style, Kenny uses firearms, terrain, and dirty tactics to outthink his opponents.

He pushed Levi to his absolute limits, which is a feat almost nobody else can claim.

However, even an Ackerman god like Kenny hits a wall against the physical impossibility of Rod Reiss’s Titan.

He’s at the peak of what a human can achieve, which places him right here.

No. 7: Rod Reiss (Ultra-Large Titan Power Level)

At 120 meters tall—over twice the size of the Colossal Titan—Rod Reiss is more of a natural disaster than a character.

He’s a walking apocalypse that burns everything in his path just by existing.

No matter how skilled Kenny is, he can't even reach the nape of this monster without being vaporized by the sheer heat.

He has zero intelligence and can only crawl, but he is a defensive wall that is nearly impossible to breach without massive explosive power.

But for someone like Lara Tybur, who can create weapons from the ground to pierce his nape from a distance, Rod is just a massive, slow target.

His lack of mobility and brain cells keep him out of the TOP 5.

No. 6: Lara Tybur (War Hammer Titan Power Level)

The owner of the War Hammer Titan, Lara Tybur, takes the 6th rank.

Her ability to "shape hardening at will" is the most versatile power in the series—she can create spikes, swords, and massive hammers out of thin air.

Against a target like Rod Reiss, she could just spear him from underground and call it a day.

Plus, her body isn't in the nape but hidden in a crystal underground, making her almost impossible to kill on the first try.

But as OP as she is, she still struggled to hit the "God-speed" reactions of Levi Ackerman.

She has a massive "Gimmick" advantage, but she falls to the pure skill and speed of the true top-tiers.

No. 5: Levi Ackerman (Humanity's Strongest Soldier)

Ranking in at number 5 is the man, the myth, the legend: Captain Levi Ackerman.

Despite being a pure human with no Titan powers, he has dismantled the Beast Titan multiple times and made every Shifter he faced taste absolute despair.

Even against the War Hammer, Levi’s reaction time and intuition are so high he’d likely spot the cable connecting the Titan to the crystal and cut it before she could swing her hammer.

He is the "Grim Reaper" of the battlefield, a warrior whose power is so high it broke the Power scaling of the first three seasons.

But as the story reached a mythological scale, even the strongest soldier hit a wall.

Against the god-like powers of the Founding Titan, physical blades just aren't enough.

No. 4: Eren Yeager (Attack + War Hammer Hybrid)

Before the final transformation, Eren in his dual-wielding state (Attack Titan + War Hammer) was the most well-rounded fighter in the world.

Combining his elite MMA-style grappling with the ability to sprout spikes from the ground made him an unstoppable brawler.

Even Levi would have a nightmare of a time dodging a forest of spikes while trying to get close to a master combatant like Eren.

At this stage, Eren was also using his "Future Sight" to stay three steps ahead of everyone else.

He was the strongest "Individual" Titan we ever saw, but he still couldn't stop the absolute mass of the Rumbling on his own.

No. 3: The Wall Titans (The Rumbling Horde)

The millions of Colossal Titans sleeping within the walls take the 3rd spot.

A single one is a Bertholdt-level threat, but together? They are the end of the world.

It doesn't matter how good your technique is; you can't parry a wall of fire and feet that stretches to the horizon.

They destroyed global civilization and rendered all modern weaponry useless through sheer mass and numbers.

But even these titans are just "slaves" to the will of the Founding Titan.

They are the ultimate weapon, but not the ultimate user.

No. 2: Founder Ymir (The Source of All Living Matter)

The source of all Titans and the girl who spent 2,000 years building bodies in the "Paths," Founder Ymir is our number 2.

She can rewrite the biology of every Eldian, manipulate memories, and summon an infinite army of past Nine Titans.

She literally created the Wall Titans; she is a God of the AoT universe.

She has no physical body to kill, making her conceptually invincible.

However, for 2,000 years, she had no will of her own—she was bound by the royal bloodline.

The person who freed her and gave her "Destructive Will" a physical form is the one who takes the crown.

No. 1: Eren Yeager (The Founding Titan / Final Form)

The absolute No. 1 is Eren Yeager in his Final Founding Titan form (The Doomsday Titan).

A skeleton thousands of meters long, leading millions of Colossal Titans, with the ability to summon every previous Titan Shifter in history from his back.

By connecting with Ymir, he gained the power to control time, space, and memory, effectively becoming an omniscient deity.

The Wall Titans are just a tiny part of his mass. He exists in the past, present, and future simultaneously, manipulating causality itself.

A boy who just wanted "Freedom" became the most terrifyingly OP character in manga history.

He is the beginning and the end—the undisputed strongest in Attack on Titan.
