S+ Tier Characters
Heroes
Features
Annie (Female Titan)
Top burst physical damage dealer that applies Crystal Rift debuff, banning enemy heals and gaining temporary invulnerability for herself, which prevents own death.
Eren (Attack Titan)
The best multi-line AoE damage dealer that ignores enemy defenses, with an Advancing Force transformation that grants her immunity from death during combos.
Annie (Training Corps)
Massive single-target nuke with Bone Fracture debuff that shreds tanks over time, and her basic attacks apply fracture for consistent pressure.
Armin (Diplomat)
Has a unique damage sharing mechanic that protects all allies very effectively and applies strong AoE heals, while his Fury mechanic enhances team aggression.
S-Tier Characters
Heroes
Features
Bertolt (Colossal Titan)
Inflicts an AoE sunlight debuff that immobilizes enemies and deals burn DoT in group attacks, which is very solid for long range DPS.
Dot (Garrison)
Stacks up to 10 strategic marks for uncleansable explosions, anti-assault procs, and self-healing, while inflicting a death down debuff.
Hange (Survey Corps)
Great beginner-friendly unit for inflicting trap paralysis and basic slow down on enemies, but the AoE imprisonment works only for one turn.
Keith (Garrison CDR)
Rear-line marksman, which synergizes with Dot (Garrison) for stacked explosions and anti-assault procs, while inflicting death down on attackers.
Ymir (Jaw Titan)
Rear debuffer that relies on RNG for lacerate, heal-down, death down, crit lifesteal, and delusion buff, even though the latter one is uncleansable.
Willy (Tybur)
Top AoE healer and buffer that grants 100% ATK and +40% fury chance with war declaration that adds another +7% ATK and high regen speed.
Porco (Jaw Titan)
Single-target healer that heals full HP on an ally’s death and applies anti-revive on enemies, which is good for rear executions.
Reiner (Armored Titan)
Late game tank that deals heavy injuries, inflicting immobilize and restricting enemy buffs, which protects allies with 75% DMG share and absorbs up to 1000% DMG.
A-Tier Characters
Heroes
Features
Connie (Survey Corps)
Speedy rear stunner with self-motivation buffs, but mediocre DPS and utility, while her stun RNG is not very reliable.
Eren (Survey Corps)
Her attacks ignore the enemy’s defense, and her basics are good in pursuit, including self-heal and buffs, but this Eren variant is definitely on the weaker side.
Eren (Training Corps)
Solid starter unit with AoE heal-down and self-regen, but she has no long term application, turning into mere fodder later in the game.
Floch
Can be hard to set up, but with the right conditions, Floch provides Thunder debuff and paralysis control, although there’s no burst damage whatsoever.
Lara
Use her for mid or rear position bleed and pierce build with diamond coffin skill that purges fatal damage, but she’s still too focused on survival rather than assault.
Mikasa (Survey Corps)
Executes enemies with low HP and triggers ally slashes with Akerman stacks for increased critical damage, but not very good without the right synergies.
Mike (Survey Corps)
If you like setting up explosions, then Mike would be a fun choice, just don’t expect too much.
Note that most of the remaining heroes are basic filler units that may have an impact in the early game, but quickly fall off in the mid-to-late game content.
