## Abilities and Powers

### Powers

* **Immortality**: As a God, Týr was innately immortal, with only divine forces and weapons being capable of slaying him.
* **Superhuman Strength**: As the God of War, it can be assumed that Týr held immense superhuman strength. Due to being a son of someone as powerful as Odin, it can be assumed that his strength is far more developed from another Aesir who are not of Odin's bloodline.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor**: Týr posseses regenerative ability. Before, when capturing Garmr, Týr sacrificed his arm to gain the dog's trust. When it found out it has been tricked, the dog bite his arm cleans off, but when Kratos, Mimir and Freya found him, his arm already grew back. Mimir also praises Týr as a very 'resourceful' God.
* **Incarnation of War**: As the God of War, Tyr has much of his power from wars, although he is a peaceful god, he does not hesitate to use his powers to defend himself.
* **Magical Eyes**: Just like Mimir, Týr possessed magical eyes of Bifröst prophecy, which were gifted to him by the Titans who were against Cronus. They were capable of projecting magical images and revealing secrets.
* **Inter-Dimensional Travel**: Through the use of the Unity Stone, Týr was able to access the realm between realms. This allowed Týr to travel to distant lands of different cultures; namely - Greek, Japanese, Mayan, Egyptian, and Celtic. He was also able to access the secret pathways to Jötunheim, something which even Odin himself cannot do.

### Abilities

* **Combat Abilities:** Befitting his status as the God of War, Týr presumably excelled in all forms of armed and unarmed combat. Combined with his intellect and cunning, it can be assumed that he was an exceedingly formidable warrior.
* **Genius-Level Intellect:** Týr was an extremely intelligent, clever, wise, cunning, creative, unpredictable and curious Æsir god, his curiosity for knowledge and wisdom have led him to know and even visit other pantheons in order to have a higher perspective and to find a way to achieve true peace, also he was able to create puzzles and keys that no normal mind can solve easily, also with his high intelligence, he was able to deceive and outsmart Loki (who himself was very smart and cunning) and his followers for a very long period of time without revealing his intentions, being always two steps ahead of the enemy. He hides all entrances to Jötunheim and all Ancients' secrets without leaving traces so that Odin will never learn from their secrets.
* **Diplomat:** His gift in diplomacy earns him immense respect and even adoration from various races of different realms and even foreign pantheons. Even the Aesir-hating giants trusted him enough of their deepest secrets and was possibly the only Aesir they held in high regard. His leadership qualities brought the various races of the realms to construct the Temple of Týr that allowed direct travel to each realm, because of that, Týr was the only Aesir to earn the respect and trust of the Jötnar, including Kratos' late wife, Laufey.
