Lighter-than-air craft kept aloft by buoyant gas, fielded most extensively by Marley and eventually obtained by the Survey Corps. Airships haul troops and cargo across long distances, and they shape several turning points of the war, from…

A firearm-based redesign of the vertical maneuvering equipment, built in secret for the Military Police's Anti-Personnel Control Squad to hunt the Survey Corps. Nearly worthless against Titans but lethal against people, it is later…

Heavy artillery developed by the Mid-East Allied Forces to counter the Titans Marley wields as weapons. Its 100mm armor-piercing shells can fell even one of the Nine Titans in a single hit, and the design later spawns handheld anti-Titan…

The Executioner from Hell is a giant guillotine-style trap conceived by Hange Zoë that crushes a Titan's nape with a weighted log, letting humanity destroy Titans without sacrificing a single soldier. Its debut in Trost marks the first…

Firearms are gunpowder weapons that occupy an awkward place in the world of Attack on Titan: nearly worthless against Titans, yet essential for human conflict. Kept primitive inside the Walls by deliberate suppression, guns define warfare…

The flying boat is a Hizuru-built aircraft that runs on Paradis Island's iceburst stone and doubles as a seagoing vessel. In the series' endgame it becomes the Eldian-Marleyan alliance's only hope of catching Eren Yeager, carrying the…

Iceburst stone is the volatile mineral that makes vertical maneuvering equipment possible, releasing pressurized gas when heated. Found nowhere but Paradis Island and rumored to be a creation of the Titans' power, it becomes a geopolitical…

Iron bamboo is an early crafting material from which the military once fashioned its weapons and gear, including the throwaway blades used with vertical maneuvering gear, before ultrahard steel gradually took its place.

Paths are the invisible channels binding every Titan and every Subject of Ymir into a single network that ignores distance, walls, and even time. Memories, wills, flesh, even the power of the Titans itself all travel along them, converging…

Signal flares are the military's long-range language, colored smoke rounds fired from pistols that let scattered squads report Titan sightings, order retreats, and steer entire formations without a single spoken word. The Survey Corps'…

The "source of all living matter" is the centipede-like anomaly that fused with Ymir Fritz two thousand years ago and birthed the Power of the Titans. Nameless and barely understood, called everything from God to the Devil of All Earth, it…

The special target restraining weapon is the Survey Corps' Titan-catching net: volleys of wired, double-headed arrowheads that pin a specific Titan in place rather than kill it. Its one great deployment traps the Female Titan in the Titan…

The Thunder Spear is the Survey Corps' explosive lance, a two-stage rocket fired from the arm that punches through hardened Titan armor and detonates inside. Born from suppressed technology to crack the Armored Titan, it evolves into the…

The Titan injection is the serum that turns a Subject of Ymir into a mindless Pure Titan, the mechanism behind royal successions, Marley's cruelest punishment, and some of the story's most agonizing choices. One vial in Levi's keeping…

Ultrahard steel is the alloy behind humanity's signature weapon: the paired single-edged blades of the vertical maneuvering equipment, the only portable arms that can slice through a Titan's flesh. Forged solely in the factory cities from…

Steel wire, pressurized gas, and paired blades give humanity its only real answer to the Titans. Strapped into a full-body harness, a soldier wearing vertical maneuvering equipment can launch grappling hooks, swing between rooftops and…

Before grappling hooks and blades, humanity fought giants with cannon fire. The fixed guns lining the tops of the Walls can blast a Titan's head clean off, yet half the time the head simply grows back, leaving the artillery as a stalling…

A head-sized lump of fermented culture grown only inside Wall Sheena, yeast quietly underpins food security within the Walls. Stockpiled beside grain and cured meat, it slows spoilage through a process no one inside the Walls can…
