The dodge move is identical to the flip that Jean performs in slow-motion in the opening.
She can be brought down by attacking her ankles, and her neck is hardened enough to shatter blades after one use.
The Female Titan is the only Titan to have an actual human fighting style, complete with roundhouse kicks and blind-fighting when her eyes are stabbed out.
Sasha's potato special and subsequent Super Speed are based on a gag scene from the original work.
Ironically, this mechanic was later implemented in game for everyone and is the single largest gas-guzzler so far. The gas conservation is actually a reference to the training arc where he mentions offhand (in order to impress Mikasa, due to her deficiency in this area) a technique he invented to conserve gas that involves releasing it in short bursts.
Jean's passive abilities-lower fuel consumption and the power to break out of a Titan's grip by slicing its hand-are based on episode 5 and 8.
Marco's ability to draw Titans is based on how he distracted a Titan for Jean's sake in episode 8.
He's not invulnerable, but his kill rate is almost guaranteed to be higher than other characters.
Eren's special is transforming into the Rogue Titan and going to town.
Mikasa uses gas and blades faster than anyone else, referencing her god-awful resource conservation in the Trost arc (breaking her blades on a single titan and then being the first to blow away her gas stores).
It is very good for blinding non-boss titans in the game.
Petra's spin attack is used to blind the Female Titan.
Levi's propensity for Spin Attacks and aloof attitude means his special is about killing Titans as fast and efficiently as possible-hence why he can perform a drive-by kill where most other characters have to stop.
Shown Their Work: Almost everything about the characters' combat styles references the show in some way:.
But since Armin has the worst stats in every category, it actually does make sense that he would have a powerful Support ability (just as he is in the series). It represents his tactical genius, and is actually a more powerful variant of Marco's taunt (stopping the titans completely instead of merely distracting), even affecting aberrant titans and the Female Titan (albeit for a much shorter duration), where as Marco's taunt only works on regular titans.
Rule of Fun: Armin being able to dance and make Titans laugh makes absolutely no sense, but it works as a gameplay mechanic.
Road Runner PC: The players' main advantage is the truly insane speed edge they have over the (mostly) ground-bound Titans.
Dying any other way involves limbs flying everywhere and blood fountains.
Overdrawn at the Blood Bank: Dying via being bitten results in a blood spurt larger than the player character.
One-Hit-Point Wonder: Getting slapped, squished, bitten, or otherwise attacked by a Titan is instantly fatal for most characters.
Ludicrous Gibs: See Overdrawn at the Blood Bank below.
Glass Cannon: Most characters can mow through Titans when used by a skilled player.which still doesn't mean they have any more hit points than anyone else.
Made easier with Marco's special ability, which draws aggro from any Titan in range.
Fishing for Mooks: Sometimes the best tactic is to draw one Titan away from a massive pack in order to take it down without distractions.
Escort Mission: Like in the series, one stage is focused on having the player characters guard the Rogue Titan as it carries a massive boulder to block a breach in the Trost District's wall.
The addition of player-titans has taken this to a new extreme.
Despite their heads sporting large, brightly colored mohawks, they're some of the most dangerous Titans in the game thanks to their lightning-fast speed and ability to hurl lethally accurate boulders over a very long distance.
Attack on titan tribute game stats update#
As well, a later update added Punk Titans. Crawling Aberrant Titans have a land speed advantage over almost everything in the game and are capable of trampling players.
Abnormal/Aberrant Titans, which are often capable of running and jumping to snap an unsuspecting player out of the air.
This is actually the name of a standardized technique, involving flying up and over a Titan's head and swinging down toward the neck.
Mikasa's special ability allows her to attack from directly above a Titan, slicing downward like a guillotine.
