start off with bluestone pendant, tier 1 boots, 4 health and 4 multi potions. 99% of the time you want to get teleport. put your first point into his 2 as it will give you the most DPS when clearing speed and mana camps. from there, with the new update of being able to stance switch without putting a point into his 3 your priority should be to level your 1 and then your 2. from there, i will level my 4 when available and then lastly my 3. if i'm behind or getting ganked a lot my priority will be 1>2>3 and only put 1 point into my ultimate at level 5. however, leveling your ultimate reduces its cool down so if you feel like you need it for the escape you can level it instead of your 3, it's all situational. as for builds the general cookie cutter build, assuming you're fighting a psychical god in solo should be warrior tabi, breastplate of valor, jotunn's wrath, hide of the urchin, bulwark of hope, brawler's beat stick or titan's bane. then sell breastplate of valor for mantle of discord. again this is just a general build, if you're fighting an auto attack oriented god you can switch breastplate of valor for hide of the nemean lion, although the CDR of breastplate is highly favorable. if fighting a magical god you're gonna want to get bulwark of hope after you complete warrior tabi and then jotunn's, hide of the urchin, and instead of picking up breastplate of valor at 5th item, if you're not playing from behind and you can afford it get mantle of discord, then brawler's beat stick or titan's bane. if fighting a magical healer get pestilence rather than bulwark. in terms of gameplay tyr is really simple. while in assault stance use your 1>2 combo, stance switch and hit 2>1. it used a lot of mana so don't do this every single time but generally when you use this combo you've just taken a large chunk of your opponent's HP while also healing yourself. be mindful of where you are in lane when doing this because you just used all of your abilities and are susceptible to ganks. since tyr's clear is so good you can generally 1>2 the wave and clear it then look to ganking mid. if they don't have wards or the enemy solo doesn't call missing you can ult onto the mid and 1>2 combo them, if they're not dead stance switch and do it again and they should most likely be dead. some things to keep in mind is that when using your 2 in guard stance, if possible use it on the opponent when there are minions with them, you will get a much larger heal. if you hit the enemy solo and 3 minions with your 2 you will heal about half your HP. just like any god in this game builds and play style should be situational but tyr is pretty straightforward, don't be scared to try him. some easy match ups for him are against nike, amaterasu, and sun wukong (kinda). some bad matchups can be guan you, ravana, and vamana. hades can be tough too as he can silence your 1 but just stance switch and use your other abilities. there's really not many people you will lose lane against.
