- The thing about Frieda is that she owned the strongest Titan but also wasn't a warrior trained to fight other Titans or other people for that matter as she was ultimately a sheltered noble rather than someone trained in the Warrior program or the military of the walls. I just think based on her losing to a relatively normal guy who barely used his powers she wouldn't stand a chance against any of the other shifters we've seen in action as Tybur would overwhelm her quickly (weak discipline but had some training it appears) and Ymir is fast enough to score a kill before Frieda could catch her and those are #3 and #2 weakest on the strength chart. At the end of the day without its special abilties the founder is just a normal titan and in that regard it comes down to the host to make the difference which Frieda didn't possess anything that could considered a difference maker (Eren beat Reiner for example by using grapples in Clash).

- What made Bert a strong shifter IMO is that he had A+ management skills (a big requirement for this Titan) as he managed to keep the Survey Corp pinned in RTS and Clash with his steam (even being smart enough to start an inferno to entrap them in the former) and also mastered the ability to form and dissolve his titan with sharp efficency (used to devasting effect in Clash to defeat Eren) that's just my interpretation though as to why he was good with the Colossal.

- I guess to expand on the Annie conversation if Armin turned on Eren I could see Annie joining with him simply to stop the rumbling but I think this late in the game Armin has to be firmly on team Eren as he doesn't really have any choice.

- I think Eren is a fine War Hammer user so far as he did use it pretty well in this fight (F for creativity, B+ for effectiveness) and he realistically won't be able to use all its abilities by the end of the series but I think if he had a few more years he would be better than Tybur as the man has improved spectacularly over the last 4 years with the relatively basic Attack Titan to the point that he has beaten nearly every titan at least once.
