Becoming the Strategic Genius: Transforming into Armin Arlert

Born in the Shiganshina district, he becomes an orphan at an early age when his parents try to escape the Walls by using a Hot Air balloon. When Armin discovers an illegal book about the world beyond, he is labelled a heretic by the other kids. So, he confides in his best friends Eren and Mikasa, developing a closer bond with them and eventually hoping he would become an equal to them.

Armin joins the 104th training corps yet he is feeble and frail. Nonetheless, he puts his wits to good use which makes him a worthwhile trainee. By leveraging Erin’s titan powers, he is able to seal the breach in the wall which highlights his sagacity and intelligence. Also, during the Battle of Shiganshina, Arlert reclaims the Wall Maria due to his self-abnegation. He is later chosen to inherit the power of Colossal Titan from Bertholdt Hoover after being seriously injured. He puts this ability to great use while infiltrating Marley.

Arlelt can become 60 meters tall which is his Colossal Titan form; attaining vast strength and capable of massive devastation. He flaunts thermal explosion (releasing massive bursts of steam and energy) while oozing scalding steam from his body (steam emission) due to the transmutation.
