May 7th 2014: Guide was created
May 7th 2014: Added Credit to Bodaciousrage for inspiration of core items
May 9th 2014: Added Changelog to guide under advisement so readers could better understand development of guide.
June 24th 2014: Updated for Rama patch. Complete overhaul of item build.
June 25th 2014: Updated guide with Ancile icons and links. Also added efficient jungle start. Included Situational items in the full build section at the beginning of the guide.
[October 13th 2014: The guide has had a small update, most information is relevent still with the current meta outside of a couple of changes. Sorry for the long awaited update I had just been very busy with work.
Anyhow the changes that I have made is explanations on leveling skills in different orders amongst other less noticeable changes.
Hello all I'm here to talk to you about the hardcore, baddass, booty getting, pirate God Tyr. It's been roughly 2 MONTHS! yikes....since I've updated this guide. Now I would love for you to believe it was because I foresaw the major changes that occurred over the past 2 months but the honest truth is I lucked out hardcore.
Anyhow I feel that it's time to overhaul my build, go the traditional route of being an ability God build, show you why Tyr is still a viable competitive pick, and lastly explain to you what has changed so much for the big man.
Odin who?". Let's be honest though this nerf was targeted more towards those silly SWKs and Odins that wanted to support and still do massive damage, this made the game not fun period. This patch had the silver lining of making the game fun for us warrior players AND the other players. How so you ask? Well we saw people play less warriors solo lane which meant that when you did come against a mage in solo lane as a warrior you had a favorable and fun lane as long as you could juke, this is a win/win for everyone! Ancile was our god send, this item is something that seems so strong for such a cheap price.

PROS
Best Passive in the game High Burst Damage Output Very Tanky High Mobility Tough to Escape from |
|
|
|
CONS
Low Attack Speed usually regulates him towards being an ability God. Easily deny yourself escape with your combo. Requires very specific positioning for proper ability usage |
|
Greater Blink, we need to always have a way out when we go in for the kill. We may be very tanky but the fact is you're not gonna be able to take a barrage of 3 Gods all at once....or atleast for very long. The most important con about this god though is the fact that Positioning is key at all times, Tyr is not an EZ-MODE god by any means but when you can recognize positioning and when it's ok to setup for the kill those killstreaks will roll on in.

Warrior Tabi: These are standard boots in my opinion on most Physical Gods. With the recent addition of Ancile there should never be reason to take  Ninja Tabi over these boots. With my normal Build I can achieve a 41 Penetration rank with these boots, stacked with Titan's Bane this is an incredible amount of damage output even at just 200 Physical Power total.
|
|
|
Ancile: This item right here is going to be a staple item on almost every warrior from here on out. It Provides 50 Magical Protections, 20 base Physical Power, and a stacking passive (30 Physical power 15% Cool Down Reduction). This item provides 3 amazing stats in one item and really lets you branch out to other options in your build, if you're not building this as a warrior you should probably not be playing a warrior. |
|
|
Void Shield: I feel like this item is now a staple in most any warrior build. With the passive you're ramping up your damage pretty nicely while still getting yourself those much wanted protections to be the bruiser you are. You could opt for getting a Witchblade here instead, but I will go into more detail about that item shortly.
|
|
|
Jotunn's Wrath: This item is core on every single Tyr period, the stats are more than enough to say why. But lets break it down anyhow, The passive alone is the most important part. It gives 25% CDR , combined with Ancile you're looking at your ability cooldowns cut nearly in half. The penetration is also a huge boon for the damage you're going to be putting out.
|
|
|
Shifter's Shield:This item is also a pretty core item on most Tyr builds. I almost always use this in my build because of the amazing stats it gives. Above 50% health it gives you 60 Physical Power stacked with your Change Stance Is just sweet sweet love. Vice versa under 50% health is to awesome just to make sure you get that extra protection to slip away after murdering someone.
|
|
|
Runic Shield:This is probably one of your best bets for some aggressive Magical Protection after Ancile. It gives you a bit of Power so you still get a positive damage upgrade from it. Plus the passive is great in helping you survive a Barrage of Magic burst. It's pretty much 90 Magical Protection on a 20 second CD. I would only grab this if you're facing a Mage Heavy team that doesn't have much sustain if you really need it.
|
|
|
Pestilence:Now personally I'm not the biggest fan of this item at all, but I do list it for a very specific reason. The only reason ever to use this item is if you're up against any heavy healing God. I really think that's the only reason to ever get this item but I feel it is warranted in this guide. |
|
|
Witchblade:This item is a viable pick by all means to handle those assassins and Hunters alike. With the passive you're going to upgrade your survival, and your teams, by a noticeable margin in team fights. If you do happen to pick this up for some reason abuse the move speed on it as well, you're going to be zooming all over the map and secure important objectives that much more easily. |
|
|
Transcendence:While I do agree this item might not have a place in Tyrs kit, I can't argue with the fact that it will help with mana problems and give you a hefty amount of power. The passive alone with the base damage of this item gives you nearly 100 Physical power, this is certainly nothing to sneeze at for a god that already has a huge amount of burst damage. I would only grab this item in place of something else if you are confident in your ability to juke and out play your opponents. |
|
|
Mystical Mail:This is usually the first item you see built on most Tyrs but that's for a very specific reason Minion Wave Clear. I would advise on getting this only if you're in the solo lane and going against a hyper aggressive Warrior/Assassin to help keep you up and get your minion kills. |
|
|
Titan's Bane:This item right here is usually your 5th or 6th item just to punch through tank/bruiser defenses. It's going to be largely useless against your squishier targets but that's where our 40 Penetration will still be performing well for us. |
|
|
Greater Blink: This is the bread and butter initiate of your dreams. It has a very short CD, gives a move speed buff for a couple seconds and it frees up your Guard Stance Fearless to be used as a Kill Secure or escape. There is no reason any Tyr should not have this ability ever. |
|
|
Wrath of the Gods: This item is something that you should try to get when you can unless you really really need beads. It has a dual purpose for Tyr, it's objective securing/stealing and it helps with your lane clear. You could also opt for  Fist of the Gods if you're in arena or there is 1-2 other HoGs on the team. The stun that it provides can be the difference between securing a kill or even escaping from an unfavorable ambush.
|
Ancile is a good choice if you're facing mage in you're lane instead of Jotunn's Wrath since it provides that needed CDR.
Bumba's Mask. This is such an awesome start for you that you'll nearly have dinged level 2 already.
Hand of the Gods here so it is up again for your next buff. After obtaining your buff you and your solo laner will be picking up Blue buff for him. Now you're going to be at halfway level 2 by this point. The problem is you're not ready to start roaming yet so you're going to be staying in solo lane to sponge some XP till you are atleast level 3.

Thank you, the guide has been updated to reflect this and also added Red pot Bumba HoG jungle start.
It's nice to see someone actually editing their guide after taking criticism :D
I would also add the situational items to the real build, not the text only (if you get what I mean :P)
Update: Talked to Mowen,
Thank you, the guide has been updated to reflect this and also added Red pot Bumba HoG jungle start.
Game hard, my friend. Tyr was one of my former mains (RIP WARRIORS) so it's refreshing to see a decent guide.
On a final note, I'd consider
Thank you for the compliments. While the original guide included
On a final note, I'd consider
Ohhhh it's a specific skin. yeah that makes sense.
But I didn't realize it wasn't in the database yet, let me see what I can do about it. You might want to uhh, be a little more amiable about how you converse with people, however. I only meant to come here for the title so I just skimmed across the build order.
Wow, I am really sorry. I should have read over that before posting >.> For some reason in my head it didn't sound anywhere near as rude as it does when read lol. I need some sleep to many hours of playing Smite today.

I came here just to say you might want to change SOMETHING about the guide name so at least there's SOME idea who the god is for. I saw the update thingy on the righthand side and realized there is no way to know what this guide is about based on that.
Also you have warded shield in the build, isn't that an unfinished item? You also have no magical protection in this build.
The guide name is one of Tyrs Jokes in his Pirate skin, I am sorry that you feel like this has no relation to the god in any way but it does.
Your second concern is warranted but incorrect and pretty self explanatory if you had read the guide. First
Also you have warded shield in the build, isn't that an unfinished item? You also have no magical protection in this build.
Just wanna point out that the
Agreed, I will probably put that into the guide soon(within the week?). The reason why it was originally not included was due to the guide being written for very casual players that are probably not as good and able to get the most out of the buff.
