Tyr has a physical shield and most of the weapons for 500+ are energy so it pairs well for longer distances IMO. The energy shield keeps you safe from Hydras and Zenits. It has 4 weapon firepower so it's better suited to 500m+ setups IMO.

I think Pulsar to lock down while shielding and healing other long range bots like a Fury Trident or Bulwark Dragoon is the best setup. You can farm the HP healing from your team, and then if you get a lockdown, you switch into attack mode and deliver damage with Marquess or Spark. Marquess will leave you vulnerable to a 300m Blitz or Pursuer rushing in close, while Spark will give you the clip size and DPS to kill a fast rusher. Marquess will deliver more of a punch on the longer range maps where you can keep the reds at a distance.

Tyr isn't a brawler but Manni and Adrian have maxed everything so even a Schutze Zenit wins a brawl. Tyr a big firepower distance bot IMO. On every bot, if it's to remain viable, it absolutely needs at least 1 or 2 Lockdown weapons IMO. Or else you have no way to stop a rushing Blitz or Pursuer or to deal damage to an Invader if it jumps away.

Personally, I found that I just needed to use all the newer weapons beginning with Scourge. I have Orkans, Tarans, etc all L12, but they're just not useful any more and cause more frustration than anything because everyone else has lockdown. IMO, just bite the bullet and get at least some lockdown or Spark/Scourge on every bot you have.

I'm doing a Tyr also and sucked it up and workshopped a 2nd Pulsar and won 2 Marquess recently. IMO, do the Tyr Marques, Hussar and workshop a Pulsar. I think if you go with the older weapons you'll wish you hadn't put in the time and Ag. You can use Punishers on the Tyr until you get the Marquess, Hussar, and Pulsar leveled up.
