Clash of the Titans arc
After Bertolt Hoover and Reiner Braun betray the Survey Corps and attempt to kidnap Eren and Ymir, Hange Zoë attacks Bertolt, leaving Lauda in charge of Team 2.[2] The subsequent battle leaves Lauda seriously injured, and unable to participate in the mission to rescue Eren and Ymir.[4]
