Ok, as far as I know, there are 3 types of hardening.

  * White hardening = Jaw and Warhammer
  * Blue/Crystal hardening = Female, Attack and Beast
  * Natural hardening = Armored

My question now is, are those abilities combinable if those are different
kinds of hardening? Like could the armored, jaw, or the Warhammer also be able
to have additional crystal hardening?

Different kinds of hardening abilities


There is no such thing called "white" hardening, Warhammer hardening is
crystal type, like female or attack titan, and Jaw hardening is neither
natural nor white(crystal), but it looks like the natural type. so because
armored titan is the only titan that can do natural hardening, there won't be
any hardening combination.

**EDIT** : I was wrong about Warhammer's body, it **IS** hardening but I don't
think it's different from other types of hardening

A quick look at a [wiki
page](https://attackontitan.fandom.com/wiki/Power_of_the_Titans_\(Anime\))
produced this:

About the War Hammer's appearance, it's probably caused by it's affinity to
the Hardening ability.
