Why Choose Tyr?

Tyr is a Warrior under the Norse Pantheon. He's generally considered a balanced god, with strong late-game CC and front-line potential, but multiple counters to even him out. If you like being a tank and setting up potential kills for team members, then Tyr is definitely a god to try out. Although his early game is quite underwhelming, it's his mid-to-late-game that you seek to get to. At that point, you'll begin to see the tank side of him as you attack your opponent under their own tower, wisely utilizing your strong healing to keep yourself in the fight.
Granted, that's not the best option for any god, but Tyr is able to push lanes quite easily once his mid-game comes online. Despite what was said earlier about Tyr setting up kills for his team, the Lawgiver is surprisingly strong in his attacks. His first two abilities can combo into a nasty CC-filled sucker punch that can eliminate unwary targets.
Tyr is also amazing at retreating from tough spots. He has three escapes at the ready, almost at all times. His first ability is a dash that allows him to cover ground quickly, and his third ability allows him to switch his stance, allowing for a second use of that first ability. His ultimate is his third escape, capable of moving him massive distances.
So why choose Tyr? Put simply: the guy is a BAMF!

Pros, Cons, and Extra Thoughts

Pros:
- Excellent clear
- Good front-liner and tank
- Excels at pushing lanes
- Ability damage is quite strong
- Great sustain
- Good mobility and escapes
- Passive is great
- Easily sets up kills for team
- Combo can lock down enemies with CC and disarms

Cons:
- Mana-heavy early and mid-game
- Ultimate is nothing special
- Lots of counters
- Relies almost solely on hitting his combo to be a contribution to team-fights

Extra Thoughts:
- While his ultimate truly is nothing special, it is CC-immune, meaning he can ignore hard CC, such as Awilix or Geb
- His combo is his damage, therefore he's very reliant on CDR
- His mana is only an issue in the first half of the game

Team Play

Tyr is exceptional at opening up enemy gods for the killing blow. His unique combo is a hard-hitting CC move that can push a number of unwary enemies right into a line of damage from your team. This god has more than one optimal way of engaging in team fights, although you do want to try to be the driving force on your team.
First and foremost, front-line brawling. Tyr will be a known presence at the onset of the fight, but with a relic like Blink, Tyr can quickly disrupt an enemy team's formation. Activating that relic will allow you to pop in and CC an enemy back into your camp. While this can be tricky if the enemy team has been keeping track of your usage of Blink, a skilled Tyr can still catch a squishy Hunter or Mage by surprise.
Another good strategy is to let the Support tank while you come in from behind. Providing they don't have wards up, you can catch the enemy by surprise, pinning them while separating them from their team, effectively killing them if your team is nearby to capitalize.

Build Discussion

Standard Build
This is an easy, safe build that offers new players good tank and sustain. For the most part, this build may even be enough until the end of the game. The big "?" on this build is the use of Gladiator's Shield. This item is effective at all stages of the game, but definitely falls off. The reason this remains in the standard build is due to the fact that, in my experience, the build has worked consistently. However, this build gives lots of flexibility on that last item pick when one wants to trade out the Gladiator's Shield.

Late-Game Tank
This, in my view, is a great tank build for the Lawgiver. Blackthorn Hammer is an underrated item that provides soft CDR and great Health and Mana, and even some Power to beef your build up. With this item, you will be far tankier and won't have to rely on any sort of Mana potions or buffs, as the passive will nearly always keep you at a good amounf of Mana.

Optional Full Tank Build
Sometimes, a team may have a Support that cannot frontline. Aphrodite and Chang'e come to mind. While they're not popular in that role anymore, it's possible, especially in a casual match. That's why you may have to become the de facto Support. In that case, this build should help you reach great levels of tankiness.

Erlang isn’t really that much of a problem for Tyr, seeing how he is a problem for all but everybody but his problem isn’t increased because it’s Tyr. Also Hercules and Amaterasu should definitely be higher in the threat list because both destroy Tyr

I disagree with both god choices. With it becomes a healing contest, but all has to do is not focus when he pops his second ability.
As for , the only way she negates his damage is the silence, but can essentially bait it out. Her healing is also not as good.

How does ama destroy tyr?

(81) |

She may be faster and have a silence in her kit, but I'd like to know the reasoning behind this as well.

She has a silence and an annoying ultimate that can force your ultimate to avoid being stunned. She can be annoying and bother to fight against but I don't think she is able to destroy a Tyr, The maximum she can do is not be killed easily but also can't kill easily tyr.

(3) |

If she is a good Amaterasu she will just stalemate the lane and stop the Tyr from using his pressure he gets from his clear advantage. If the ama decides to play aggressively she can cancel out the Tyr’s main damage ability and it’s going to be all but impossible to box her due to her sustain and percent “pen”from her passive. It is also going to be a lot harder to deal damage to her due to her damage mitigation’s on her two making it even harder to box her. It is also harder to hit her due to her movement speed.

@Myst:
What do you think about the and (in a late game build)?

Also, is just great all-around, in my opinion. Lots of Health and sustainability. Even if you can't make full use of the passive, the regeneration is really amazing. Plus, coupling it with the Fire Giant buff, and you can basically go into a team fight, lose a bunch of health, and then heal back up insanely quickly.

Late-game, getting rid of is a good move. Switch it for more tank or health or if you're really ahead do something with flavor, in my opinion.

(72) |

totally lost its utility late game on , since will heal as much as gladiator and it stats are also low for late game.

can be functional if the enemy team has minimum anti healing and a lot of knockups and knockbacks.

Another thing I'd like to say is that this is too early. This item is very expensive and tyr has protections in defense stance so you can delay it, but it definitely is a good option.

And for last but not least, is definitely a bad item on Tyr, same for (but this last one is acceptable if you're ahead, although not recommend in normal situations and builds).

I disagree with the argument. By your fourth item, chances are you are going into team fights now or, at the very least, roaming to help allies. At that point you'll be facing magical enemies, and as this is the first magical item in my standard build, I personally put it on at that point because the extra tank makes it pretty safe for me to roam.

As for , I could see why you think that, and while I almost never use it, it's not a bad item for decreasing the viability of AA gods. But, and I should probably reconfigure the build a little, seems a much better option for that.

Don’t build Frostbound on Tyr, he’s not Bellona, Osiris or Erlang.

(72) |

If you want to punish AA gods is much better. Right after cast you combo you usually do not stay hitting basic attacks on enemies for so long to make the passive worth. Frost works better in gods like , ...

About , this item is expensive. If you are looking for magical defenses you can pick for example a and if you want hybrid protections, then you can choose that offers also health and mana and is cheaper and when you stack it you gain a little shield and almost the same amount of protections from discord. Plus, as you said you are probably going into teamfights now so it's the best moment to stack it. I'm not saying doesn't worth on , I'm saying that at the position it is, there are better options.

Skill leveling needs to be fixed. You can't put the 5th point into a skill until level 9. And there's no reason to point-skip for 2 non-ult skills.

Load more comments (1 more replies) →

Thanks for that, I'll get that fixed up. I knew something felt off about it.

(72) |

About skill points, Leveling first is not bad, but I think is a better option. I'd alternate between and just like I do in my guide, 'cause provides high damage and high sustain. And also theres no need to put a early point in since you can use it at level 0.

Both are good for a first ability, but his is not as effective at clearing wave early on, which is of utmost importance for in the early stages.

(72) |

does 180 damage (with the 2 stances) while does 170. But the real diference is that you can deny your enemy poke since you have your early healing can be somehow useful for a very early pressure. Also if is not effective clearing the wave, why do you prioritize this skill instead ? Wouldn't be better upgrade first then you go to ? Or do what I say to put a point on each skill alternating between both?

(143) |

You should get fearless at level 1. You can still max power cleave though, just use fearless to group the minions.

Point in the third ability is good for free protections.

(72) |

It's only 10 protections/physical power, it doesn't make that diference. I think would be better put this point at since it has an insane damage early game/mid game.

I could totally agree with you, and I definitely use that method often, but I've found in the early game, having just a bit more protection while Penetration isn't really a thing yet really helps to tank a few more hits. You also level quite quickly in the early stages, so it's fairly interchangeable how you manage that point in the third ability.

(143) |

You should start Fearless at level 1 not power cleave, (unless there is some matchups which dictate otherwise). With both stances you can hit the whole wave easily. I would probably max the 2 before the 1 first though.
