Reiner joined his fellow surviving Warriors in entering the walled territory during the chaos, and he would not use the Armored Titan again for another five years. As panicked Eldians fled the city while Titans swarmed in, Reiner's Armored Titan advanced to the north gate and charged it, breaking through and breaching the northern part of Wall Maria. Īfter arriving on the island and venturing northwards to the Walls, Reiner entered Shiganshina District, the southernmost district of the Walls, after Bertolt destroyed the south gate with his Colossus Titan.

In the year 845, the nation of Marley sent out Reiner, Bertolt Hoover, Annie Leonhart, and Marcel Galliard across the ocean to Paradis Island as the start of the Paradis Island Operation. He would later make use of his Titan form in a war between Marley and an enemy nation, using his Armored Titan to take the brunt of enemy artillery fire. In the year 843, Reiner Braun was chosen to inherit the power of the Armored Titan. After these seventeen centuries when Karl Fritz, the 145th King of the Fritz family, abandoned the conflicts of Eldia and relocated to Paradis Island, the Armored Titan was taken by the nation of Marley during the Great Titan War. In the 1,700 years following her death, the Armored Titan was held in the possession of one or several of the warring Eldian houses subservient to the Founding Titan. The Armored Titan, like all the Nine Titans, was brought into the world after the death of Ymir Fritz. The Armored Titan could also use this ability to create claws on its hands and feet which could be used to scale the Wall of Shiganshina District with ease. Similar to the Female Titan, the Armored Titan was capable of utilizing crystal-like hardening around its body to at least some extent. However, this only seemed to apply to the current body created by transforming, as transforming into the Armored Titan later revealed it to be restored of its namesake armor.

Ī lesser-known disadvantage was that if the holder of the Founding Titan wished to, they were able to cause the hardened skin of the Armored Titan to crumble away to nothing this left the Titan prone and extremely vulnerable to damage. This could be alleviated if the user chose to shed segments of the armor to increase movement capability, such as the armor behind the knees, enabling the Titan to move with incredible speed. Whether due to increased weight or restrained movement, the Armored Titan was only capable of maintaining moderate running speeds when completely armored. While certainly formidable, the primary disadvantage of the Armored Titan's skin was the decreased speed of the Titan form. The armor could be used for physical protection as well as offensively, dealing great damage upon impact on anything the Titan charges.

However, the armor had some limitations and was not capable of protecting the user from high-power weaponry such as the Mid-East Allied Forces' anti-Titan artillery. This armor was capable of shielding the Titan from significant amounts of damage, shielding direct hit from a cannon, breaking ultrahard steel blades of vertical maneuvering equipment when struck and withstanding the Colossus Titan's explosive transformation. The defining feature of the Armored Titan was the all-encompassing layer of plated, armor-like segments of hardened skin protecting the Titan body.
