Assault

Kyōshū (強襲)

The Survey Corps surround Porco's Jaw Titan form, but they come under attack from Pieck's Cart Titan form armed with machine guns which are effective at picking them off. While Eren is distracted by the commotion, Lara partially materializes the War Hammer Titan, impaling and trapping the Attack Titan in a tree-like structure made of its hardened substance, but fails to pierce its nape. 

Zeke's Beast Titan arrives while Marleyan soldiers surround Liberio. Falco emerges from underground, protected by a bud-like shield formed by Reiner's partial transformation. Mikasa and Eren are unsuccessful in trying to break Lara's crystal shell; Eren then transforms for the third time to escape the War Hammer Titan's trap. As the Survey Corps lose several soldiers, Armin arrives by boat and transforms into the Colossal Titan, destroying the Marleyan Navy. 

Levi uses the distraction to disable the Beast Titan, then drops a bomb on the fallen Titan's nape. Sasha kills a machine gunner of the Panzer Unit on the Cart Titan's back, enabling Jean and other soldiers to incapacitate the Cart Titan using Thunder Spears. As the Survey Corps try to kill Pieck, Magath and other Marleyan Soldiers defend her. Meanwhile, Hange arrives overhead in an airship to recover the Survey Corps, guided by lights placed earlier in the battle. Porco launches his Jaw Titan in an attack on the airship, but Mikasa immobilizes it by cutting off its legs. 

Eren rips off the Jaw Titan's arms, then uses its jaws like a nutcracker to break open the crystal covering Lara's body and swallows her remains, gaining the powers of the War Hammer Titan. As Eren is about to eat Porco, Gabi and Falco's frantic cries for help awaken Reiner and he reluctantly emerges to confront Eren.
