## Hero Guide

Tyr is the God of War in the Ragnarok storyline present within Grand Cross. He is a hyper-offensive unit meant to defeat enemy teams within the first few turns so long as he is in a team with Unknown or Ragnarok allies. The lower their HP is the stronger they are which can punish infect units as units get stronger the lower their HP is.

His skills allow him to deal exceptional damage within the first turn in PVP. Due to most of his damage coming from his own skills, he is not dependent on high Ultimate investment in terms of his offense. However, his defenses can be lacking at low Ultimate/Unity levels, and this is only exacerbated by his own turn 1 Taunt which forces enemies to attack him. This is only another reason why going first with him is essential, as that way you can deal your damage and wipe out the enemy team before they do the same to you.

### Pros

* Excellent in both PVP and PVE
* Extremely high damage
* Is supported by strong teams (Unknown/Ragnarok)
* Makes allies stronger offensively the lower their HP drops

### **Cons**

* Defensive capabilities are dependent on Unity level
* Turn 1 Taunt can prove problematic at 1/6 Ultimate/Unity investment
* Many PVE bosses are immune to his Crit Resistance Debuff
* When he is defeated Berserk will be removed from all allies
* Countered by attack disable

## Skill Review

**Afterburner** - A heavy-hitting single-target Pierce skill. So long as Tyr Crits, it can kill an enemy in one attack in PVP. In PVE, it can deal massive damage to Demonic Beasts even without them being affected by his Crit Resistance Debuff.

**Volcano Rush** - An AOE attack that wants to be used on Debuffed enemies. It is exceptional for regaining health through lifestealing and is great in PVP in terms of damage.

**Ultimate: Meteor Strike** - This Ultimate skill is fully capable of wiping out an enemy team in PVP and offers nice support for your team offensively.

**Unique: Merciless Strike** - Within an Unknown or Ragnarok focused team, Tyr increases allies’ damage dealt and attack the lower their HP is while increasing his own Crit Damage accordingly. Using Tyr in other teams will decrease his max damage potential.

**Unity: Battle God** - Increasing Crit Defense is really good for units with low Crit Resistance as it will reduce how much damage they take when Crit on.

## Gear Recommendation

Tyr is exclusively meant to deal tons of damage, so an offensive gear set is best for him. If you find your Tyr being eliminated quickly or are going second a Defense set is worthwhile.

Equipment Set - Onslaught (Attack) / Congeniality (Crit Damage) or Defense

Substats:

* Bracer/Ring - Attack
* Necklace/Earring -Defense
* Belt / Rune - HP

## Usage

**PVP** - Often, using Green Echidna, Dark Queen Hel, Red Freyja/Green Summer Freyja, or Red Freyr with Blue Nanashi in the back is ideal for Tyr. These units either deal significant damage alongside him, provide support in some fashion, or increase survivability. However, Tyr is still the main DPS of any of these teams.

**Death Matches** - He will be very good use in Howlex Guide and Original Demon in Unknown / Ragnarok based teams as main damage dealer and providing allies boosts with his Berserk Effect despite them being being immune to his Critical Resistance Decrease Debuff. In Original Demon Death Match his AOE card will deal low damage or be patienced due to the boss' high defenses so a second damage dealer like Red Rem, Red Freyja, and Red Freyr or allies that apply buffs will be needed here.

**Skoll and Hati** - While Tyr is usable in other Demonic Beast Battles, his best use will be in Skoll and Hati in a Ragnarok-centric team alongside characters such as Red Thonar, Green Brunhild, Red Freyr, Red Megellda, etc. His damage is excellent and his synergy with the other characters only adds to his effectiveness.
