[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.
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 |
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. |
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. |
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. |

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, Ancile is now in the database.

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 Hide of the Urchin a very solid item. Mixed protections, health, and scales through the game. Very decent against mixed teams. Otherwise I don't have much to offer, it definitely serves its purpose and it's aesthetically pleasing. GJ!
Thank you for the compliments. While the original guide included Hide of the Urchin with the release of Ancile now, we can forgo Urchins to abuse Ancile with Void Shield. While it is not in the guide I would probably only use Hide if I planned on building Transcendence instead.

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 Warded Shield is the second tier component to Ancile, Smitefire does not have Ancile as an item in their item database yet that I can use for linking. Second, in the item descriptions area not only is Ancile listed as a core item I point out the stats that the item gives to show that the build does have Magical Protection in it. Thank you for the input and advice.

Just wanna point out that the Bumba's Mask, Hand of the Gods and Potion of Physical Might jungle start is a lot more efficient.
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.
