Does Eren armor up his arms before the hammer hits him, or does he weaken himself instead? I can't really tell. Either way, it seemed like the gambit was to test the strength of the warhammer to determine a safe way to defeat it. Using the 3D gear to take out the titan couldn't be used too early because it would give away the tactics and lower the success rate when used against ground troops (and vice-versa).

I'm looking out for Zeke next time, as he knows about 3D gear and had acquired a unit for research. Also his royal blood is the only thing in Marley that can actually trigger the coordinate (possessed by his half brother) and he doesn't even know it. Fun!
