Hey everyone,
So I've been playing Tyr a bit and am a little bummed I don't see many guides on him out there (though the guides by DylanBamzy and Kaotik_Kolektor are very helpful and I highly suggest giving them a look), so I decided I'm gonna take a shot at a guide and share what I've learned with anyone else whos looking to get a bit of insight into this really cool god.
Since I'm still new to the Smitefire community and Smite itself I'm sure I'm gonna miss something or mis-speak so please provide feedback to help improve the guide and make it a better source material for everyone.
Let me know what you guys think and I hope to see you on the battlefield!
Pros:
So Tyr is one of the few gods that has a "stance", meaning one of his abilities is replaced with the option to change from either "Assault Stance" to "Guard Stance" and vice versa via his "Change Stance" Ability. So lets look at all his abilities (if you count the stances as different he has 5) and then see how they work together both in combos for you and your team.
Unyielding (Passive Buff)-
"Stuns, Taunts, Fears, Intoxicate, and Mesmerize cannot affect Tyr for longer than 1s."
This here is the reason Tyr is feared, why he can Solo Lane so well, why you can just keep on tanking, and why whole teams will single you out personally to be ganked because they know your gonna be a huge pain otherwise.
Fearless (Assault Stance)-
"Tyr charges forward, immune to knockup, damaging enemies."
Assault Stance: Tyr pushes all enemies along with him, hitting them 2 times and knocking them up in the air.
This is the bread to your "bread and butter", and trust me you'll see why within the first few minutes of using him. The Assault version of Fearless is quite possibly Tyr's best move. The cast animation consists of Tyr charging in a straight line towards an enemy, shoving them back for the entire duration of the cast (or less depending at what point during the animation you catch them), and delivering three blows, the last of which is a small toss when they get knocked up and tossed back a bit. What makes this ability great is it can be used in a number of ways:
Core Items:
This is a good core item for Tyr giving a good chuck physical power and speed. For your typical Bruiser loadout this is gonna be your best bet. While you can rock some Reinforced Shoes those will serve you better on a more defense heavy/tanky build so I don't recommend them except for in situations where you need the extra padding.
Breastplate of Valor Should be the first item you max. This is linchpin to the build and will make or break your chance or playing Tyr to his full potential. When this really comes into play is the CR (Cooldown Reduction) and how its gonna give you the maximum chances to harass the other team and escape. Combining this with Jotunn's Wrath will max your CR at 40 giving you the shortest delay between ability uses and this will allow you to pull enemies around and get out of dodge when you need to.
Jotunn's Wrath is the second half of your CD combo and is also one of the best all around items in the game. Giving Physical Power, Mana, Physical Penetration, and Cooldown Reduction make this item a must have for Tyr. While this won't make you a one shot killing machine it will help make each blow Tyr deals hurt that much more and keep you on the field where you need to by that much longer.
Hide of The Urchin is a bit of a weird item at first. At a glance it doesn't seem like the item you'd wanna go for since you have other damage resistance items like Mantle of Discord. The Saving grace for this item is the Mana and Health bonus you get, giving you a bit more padding and fuel to keep you in battle. The trick to this item is to stay in or near the thick of the fighting, your god killers you get you the stack you need to build it up into a much better item in to time flat.

Decent Effrot
I can notice that you are relatively new to the game with some of the information you have put in. I am truly honoured that you decided to make a guide and its the first step in the right direction to becoming a better player. If you want I could team up with you to teach you most of the ropes of Tyr and some other solo laners if you want. Just ask for my name and ill add you and we can get talking.
