I won a Tyr!

Taran/Magnum is ok, but you really need to get the Bot as high as possible to survive in close quarters.

Scourge/Spark is versatile, but the lock-on delay on the Sparks is inconvenient.

Pulsar/Marquess is arguably the strongest Tyr build, but also probably the most expensive.

Storm/Gust is a great budget build, as is the classic Leadhose.

Thanks. I have been thinking about making some Pulsars in the WS since I was smashed up by some at range recently. I also appear to have a Marquess lying around (I have no idea where that came from), so I might work towards it.

Nice.
First of all, if you don't have its legendary pilot, try to get it. Second, as you said, Tyr is not magical, which means you have to be careful when using Tyr. Its physical shield is not for brawling, only use it when necessary. IMO Taser setup is good if you don't hate the 5 seconds lock on delay. With the Taser setup, you have the 600-meters range on long maps and high DPS on short maps.
In the end, it's a good bot to invest on it because it's not OP which means it's never gonna get a nerf.

Healer robots ranking in my opinion in order 1.Mender 2.Tyr 3.Weyland

I like the Tyr. I run mine with Ignighter and Blaze just because and I like it and am leveling 2 Ignighters along with the Tyr. It has taken out other Tyr and Fenrirs of the same level pretty easily. Ideally the Tyr is best played as a support bot healing teammates and with light weapons that reload after every shot rather than only when empty. I would think Halo Corona would be best. Lockdown and heal blues. Pop out of cover with two mediums for the speed boost and then activate the two lights and brawl then return to cover with the speed boost and heal. Repeat.

Those energy shotguns do seem pretty sweet. Unfortunately I have a Nemesis already upgrading and he wants a pair, my Persuer is also demanding two more of them as well!

Heal blues? Surely you mean "Watch them scatter as soon as you head towards them"?

Congrats. Best bot in the current META excluding Leech and Phantom IMHO.
Seriously. Massive shield, high hp, decent speed, high firepower. Plus healing at a very fast rate (with the honor points from that). I got two Ao Jun from SCs and sold them for silver.

As Fry said, get the Legendary pilot.

Attaching a screenshot of my recommended skills + FFA stats, from a two bot hangar, Tyr being the respawned bot.

Weps - was surprised at how well the Taran Halo worked. Currently running that instead of a Halo Corona build. Both are very effective. All lvl 11.

It's a fine first bot in FFA, but you'll need a levelled Last Stand for the initial fight. After that, heal up and go.

I'm going for the event Pulsars and a 2nd Tyr as a MR build, and FFA kill stealer.

Congrats! The Tyr is probably the only other bot right now that I would like to have. I would drop my Ares for it in a heartbeat. As for weapon load out, just about anything that would work on Griffin, Raven, Ares, will work on the Tyr.

In my encounters with the Tyr, I found it to be a nasty brawler as well as a decent MR bot. Maybe do RDB while it levels up, and then do Leadhose when you get it to a level you like, and then from there, decide what other sorts of builds you want. Taser is great, but only if you have 2 Scourge and 2 Sparks lying around. If you don't, and you have to grind for something new, it's probably better to just grind for better stuff like Pulsars, Marquesses, Shredders, Halos, Coronas and maybe eventually Hussars. Seriously, with 2M and 2L, you could slap just about anything and make it work, so take your time. Heck, if you have Wasps and Stings leveled and lying around, that would work too.

My real question is how on earth you made a superchest this early.

Easy....with the ads for bronze chests.  I would have opened my SC but saving keys for another Au chest.

I am 90+% there with almost 700 keys....

Since these events killed the ads, it is slower now.  But before, man!  A zillion ads a day.......

Yeah for me I was just wait until Sigrun came up from the offer/pilot screen...it was a long wait

Yeah that's pretty much it.

It's harvest time for us, so I have a lot of half hour windows stood in front of a grape press looking for something to do at the moment. Perfect for a few matches and some ads. They add up *quite* quickly.

I got a SC this weekend.

They were giving 2 ads per game earlier this month, so if you can get 1 SC at the end of the month like me before, then you should've gotten your SC already.

Not sure i will get my 2nd this month since they nerfed ads.

Interesting idea of mixing up the load out. I have gotten quite used to hanging at 350m in my plasma Lancelot, I reckon that this could do a similar role until I can get something a bit more useful.

Meh, I might just bang some Tarans and Magnums on it and see how I get on. Mags are practically free to L12, so no great loss if they don't cut it.

How do you find Storms? I have just about enough gold to buy a pair for my Nemesis, but keep thinking that it would be foolish given that gold is so precious since pilots.
