All skills in Attack on Titan Revolution are accessible through shared trees, families, and Titan transformations, encompassing 45 named abilities that require specific unlock routes to manage your loadout.

Your character can equip up to five skills, but family restrictions and your equipped serum determine which abilities you can access. In this Roblox experience, learning a shared-tree skill uses a different progression route from unlocking a Titan kit. Start with the checklist, check your family's restrictions, and then spend skill points on abilities your character can use.

Skill checklist and unlock requirements

The checklist contains 15 shared-tree skills, 17 family abilities, and 13 Titan abilities, for 45 entries. Titan abilities belong to individual transformation kits, so gaining Titan Shift does not give every form the same moves.

Shared-tree skills

Offense, defense, and support skills are available through the shared skill trees without requiring a particular family.

How to unlock and equip shared skills

Spend skill points and gold

Open EQUIPMENT in the lobby to manage your skills and upgrades. The shared skill tree has support, offense, and defense branches. Each tree offers two build paths, and you can use only one path within each tree.

You earn one skill point per level. Purchasing nodes costs SP and gold, so having enough points does not remove the gold requirement.

Use this order before buying nodes:

  1. Check which skills your family already provides.
  2. Choose the build path you want within each shared tree.
  3. Check the SP and gold cost of the next node.
  4. Equip the abilities you intend to use in your five available slots.

Resetting the skill tree costs 999 gems. Choose your paths before committing points if you want to avoid paying for a reset.

Check your controls and equipped perk

On PC, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 activate the corresponding equipped skills. Check the in-game SETTINGS for additional controls and platform-specific bindings.

Heavenly Restriction compensates with other bonuses, including increased ODM and Thunder Spear damage per equipped skill. It is a deliberate alternative to an active-skill loadout, not a way to keep those abilities usable.

How to unlock Titan skills

Equip a serum and open its branch

Titan shifting requires a serum, which can drop from A- missions or raids at any difficulty. Your family must also permit transformation: Zoe, Ackerman, and Helos cannot Titan Shift.

To access a transformation's skills:

  1. Obtain the serum for the Titan form you want.
  2. Equip that serum.
  3. Open the skill tree.
  4. Select the lightning-bolt icon at the upper right.
  5. Unlock the abilities for the equipped transformation without paying gold.

The lightning-bolt option appears when you have a serum equipped. Check that equipment requirement before looking for the Titan branch.

Choose the form for your task

Four transformation types provide different combat options.

Titan formSerumSupported strengths and restrictions
Attack TitanAttack SerumGeneral-purpose stats; Berserk Mode is available with Yeager or Fritz
Armored TitanArmored SerumHas a rush skill that can quickly demolish buildings
Female TitanFemale SerumFast attack speed, with lower damage compared with other Titans
Colossal TitanColossal SerumDamages its surroundings on transformation and has an area-of-effect skill kit

Family choice can add another condition within a transformation. The Female Titan has a family-specific passive with Leonhart or Fritz: landing three consecutive basic attacks increases damage and attack speed.

Pick your intended form before planning around an individual Titan skill. A family that supports Attack Titan's Berserk Mode does not turn another transformation into the Attack Titan kit.

Family skill mechanics to check before choosing a loadout

Shifter Regen and Last Stand

Shifter Regen restores 45 health over a short period and heals up to two injuries. It is a recovery option to account for before spending shared-tree points on the rest of your loadout.

Last Stand increases damage and ODM speed by 15% and reduces incoming damage by 30%. It also ignores injuries for 40 seconds, but it has a lethal injury condition.

Choose between these options through their family requirements first. Access to a strong recovery or survival skill does not make it available to every character.

Shiki's Rage Mode and attack skills

Shiki builds the Rage gauge by attacking. Activating Rage Mode increases ODM stats by 15%, adds 125 maximum health, increases health recovery by three, and resets skill cooldowns.

Shiki's Let it RIP variant spins toward the mouse cursor for six seconds, continuously damaging enemies it hits. Its duration makes cursor direction part of using the attack, rather than a single target selection at activation.

Shiki's Swift Strikes variant can kill up to five nearby Titans in an instant. Treat five as its target ceiling, not a promise that every activation will find that many valid enemies.

Colossal Titan skill damage comparison

The following Colossal Titan values apply with all Resonance Stones equipped. Use that condition when comparing the multipliers with your own setup.

SkillDamage and control effectWhen to choose it
Seismic ShockA ground stomp sends out a shockwave dealing 1035.0% damage to nearby TitansNearby groups around your position
Tectonic QuakeA forward kick deals 862.5% damage, followed by a destructive path dealing 431.2% damageTargets positioned ahead of you
HeatwaveSuperheated steam deals 1035.0% burn damage over five ticks and stuns nearby Titans for 5.6 secondsNearby enemies you need to damage and stun
Incendiary VolleyA forward hand swing deals 862.5% damage, while scattered burning shards deal 276.0% burn damage on impactEnemies along the swing's path
EjectReverting releases steam that deals 150.0% damage to nearby TitansNearby enemies when leaving the transformation

Choose between nearby coverage and forward attacks

Seismic Shock and Heatwave both affect nearby Titans. Choose Heatwave when you need its stated stun as well as burn damage. Seismic Shock provides the ground-stomp shockwave.

Tectonic Quake and Incendiary Volley attack forward, but their follow-up damage comes from different effects. Tectonic Quake creates a destructive path; Incendiary Volley scatters burning shards that must hit enemies.

Compare complete effects, not just percentages

The damage entries describe different components. Heatwave applies its burn over five ticks, while the 276.0% burn on Incendiary Volley belongs to shard impacts. Neither figure should be treated as an identical single-hit attack.

Position nearby targets within your chosen effect, aim forward attacks along occupied paths, and account for Eject's steam damage when ending the transformation.
