I think the trait of the Attack Titan is simply being op af. That's fine. Your opinion is valid enough, but it remains baseless until you can support it. Tell us why you believe this; what evidence or suppositions led you to your conclusion? If its just a gut feeling, fine; however, that kind of thing sort of defeats the point of a discussion board. Also, "op af."? Huh? Please don't abbreviate. It's confusing.

Fair enough.

Even the Marleyans, which have been experimenting on titans for a long time, call it Female Titan (and that name may very well be even older, from the Eldian Empire period). This tells us that having a female appearence is, in fact, a peculiarity. Granted, it could also mean that it's inheritable by women only, but I don't see why we should assume that. After all, a woman that turns into a titan has her body changed into a male one (with the exception of the Female Titan and the Founder Titan, the latter of which seemingly retaining its host's gender), so it could very well be that a male host of the Female Titan has his body turned into a female one.

"Op af" = "over-powered as fuck". What I mean is that it has an enormous amount of strength and stamina. I'll admit though that Kruger's words were a little too vague when he said that the Attack Titan "keeps advancing towards freedom". Maybe that's too few to tell us that its only power is endurance.

When it comes to the difference between Female and Attack, the comparison might be harsh here. We could definitely analyze the two Annie vs Eren titan fights, and I totally agree with you that in those fights Annie seems just as powerful as Eren is. So these are the advantages of Annie's that I think we should factor in here: her being more used to controlling a Titan, her having been trained for way longer than him (from back in her childhood with her father all the way to the Marleyan army's training and finally the training inside the Walls), and her being able to strengthen her blows through crystalization.
