I decided to cheat and get Ginny the promotion before the change since she had more skills that I wanted to add. Mixed results, but with no re rolls I'm pretty happy with my luck. Siggy can take comfort in the fact that Miss Virginia has been banished to the long range hangar, and the next 2kAU are going to buy her a nice tier4 True Ace. Just don't tell her that I maxed Traditionalist for Cormac first, that's a whole other set of drama!

Your Tyr looks a bit squishier since I focused on durability and you have a lot of weapon damage focus. I Tank you. Tank you very much.

I'm pretty well situated with tanks: Tyr is still tanky and the skills for maxed punishers make a big difference. Rochambo!

My Tyr has become the star of my Hangar. It's so durable, I can stand in one place and shoot reds for 2-3 minutes. Running my Tyr charges the Titan bar quicker than anything. Hell, I can face down Fenrirs and come out shiny. It may take a while to take out T-Falcons, Ravana and Fenrir but I don't have to worry too much about the health bar. It's a great bot to wade into battle. I'm contemplating Boosting True Ace from T2 to T3.

Please stop making me want one. Sorry, but it’s a pretty damn good bot. With taser loadout it’s the most effective one in my hangar against the flaming turds. Ok, I’ll help you out with some subliminal messaging. You don’t want a Tyr. You need a Tyr. You’re welcome. It’s the least I could do.

Ok, so I'm starting to consider switching out my Leadhose/Leadhose+Shredders loadout. Reason is that my Tyr inevitably is dropped around the time Titans start dropping (my first drop is shottie Ravana (good beacon capper), my second is Fenrir (so hopefully it doesn't run into too many Titan guns)) and I'm finding having 500m-range guns on it puts me into the danger zone a bit too much to make the most of what this bot can do. What should I do? I have no really well leveled midrange weapons, so maybe Molots would be a cheap option? I have tasers too, but they barely scratch Titans at max range. I have almost 2 Wasps I could run with Marquesses but that will take a lot of levelling.

Molots would probably be pretty good against Titans, just keep yourself mobile. Once the Titan realizes you're targeting them, they'll focus on you. I started running a Wasp/Spark Hover but I'm not impressed with the Wasps at lvl 9. The slow tum tum tum doesn't inspire confidence. I would go Pulsar or Molot.

I have almost 2 Wasps I could run with Marquesses but that will take a lot of levelling. For me the trick to fighting red titans with Tyr is to find a blue titan and stick to them like glue. Punishers shoot through titan legs pretty well, and throw down enough damage to make sure anybody who thinks they're going to flank my buddy Arthur gets a nasty surprise. Lockdown ammo is great with Punishers for extra supportiness when the shredders are stowed. When you absolutely, positively need to lock down every red you can see, accept no substitute.

Please stop making me want one. Checkout my shield strength. 268,800 at level 9, 3 fortifiers +75%, Sigrun's Support +20%, Physical Shield Expert +15% (+25% when maxed T3). Whoo!

I've just started running one this month. Seeing as I'm starting the bot off at L1 I'm going with the ever trusty Molot load out. I enjoy the learning curve of running a new bot.

Love the Tyr. They heal me when blue and are prime targets for rockets when red to nab that HP off them. They then regenerate some more HP for me to take it again . When playing one you can earn a lot of honor points thanks to the repair ability and the physical shield they are a solid build to deal with the energy weapons out there. They're balanced bots too with the two modes and stow away weapons. It's not a hide behind a wall/god mode bot. Love the Tyr. They're the gift that keeps giving red, blue or as your bot.

How viable is a flame Tyr? Or is it a mech best kept at midrange?

Let them Shot Ravs use all their ability before getting close then wasting their shots against my shield before finishing them.

I'd definitely try those if I had a set of each, but I don't, so mine is doing pretty will with a taser setup and shield breaker.

Trying to see what I could build of what I already have. I could do Scourges, but I think that gameplay is dull. Rather avoid Punishers.

I use a punisher/Atomizer and cryo build.
Both are fun AF.
Both are strong depending on what you do with them...
Sometimes I run a Rime/Scourge build. It brawls well too.

Mine is up to L5 and it's a fun. Always felt it would be.
I've been trying lots of different builds and just gave Spydra a go and I love it. Yes I'm a bit evil.

Another great thing about my Tyr is that I can shoot directly at Leeches which are tethered to me and I can kill them while taking minor damage. Keep in mind I run a 2.12 Tyr with 1.9 Pulsar/Shedders. I also have a lvl 1 Fortifier and lvl 1 Overdrive Unit. I don't do it intentionally, but I'm not going to run away from a robot hummer.

Up to 1.8 now. Still trying to get a good balance with my weapons.
If MM puts me up against a strong team I get butchered in brawling mode. If it matches me with neutral to weak teams then it starts to shine and I can see some potential.
Punisher/Rimes is a good build that I like. Spydra is good. I like to unload the spirals and then tuck em back and heal. Cool down and reload has a good sync. Good build for TDM.
Still good fun. Just gotta find the balance within my hangar and the role I wanna take with it.

Tyr with tasers continues to be the best bot in my hangar. If I find a big-bot teammate who I can stay close to and knows how to use cover, I can go almost the whole game with it. Really its biggest weakness right now is against Ao Jun's, because I've got shield breaker on it instead of Quantum Radar. Seems to be a tad more shielded bots than Jun's; and if Tyr gets broked, then I've got Quantum Radar on the 'Gale. If I ever make another Tyr, it's gonna have Quantum Radar. In the rare good, evenly-matched game, it's easily the most fun bot to pilot. Once I get the weapons on the 'Gale all leveled to 8 or 9, I'll be dumping some serious upgrade time into the Tyr.

I'm jealous of everyone's Ancient or Tsunami skins on their Tyr. That + durability is really attractive.
And I can't get it.

I love my Tyr too! I run Punishers on it. Sometimes it takes on the role of healer, and sometimes I use it as the best Titan attacker I have in my hanger (and yes, I'm quite happy with my hanger the way it is.) I like the role of healer more, but when I need to attack, the sound of 4 Punishers firing is immensely satisfying as well.

Don't go too deep into the red's territory or you'll get caught out reloading without support.

I'm with you on this one. I believe there should be more skins for Tyr and the existing one should be available to buy :/
