The introduction of Tyrantel to the Apex meta has subtly reinforced the viability of the 1-tank+1-healer that is strong in rush tactics and efficient DPS exchanges. Unlike Lightbringer, Tyrantel brings enhanced versatility to DPS roles and introduces a novel dota effect from his talent, which diminishes the attack and defense stats of opposing units within a 3-block range. His ability to take control of an allied unit may appear unconventional, yet this coupled with the nomination debuff, which forces affected enemy units to delay their actions until after Tyrantel has executed his attack, proves to be a tactical asset in the endgame scenarios where DPS is emphasized (however it should be used judiciously because it may change the first-move and second-move during the game). However, this debuff - attack delay mechanic exhibits some bugs at the moment in the CN server.

Tyrantel sets a new standard for tank durability, boasting an impressive defensive stat line of 1500 physical and 1100 magical defense (though not shown in the clip, he also launches a counterattack within 2 blocks). His resilience is further amplified by immunity to fixed damage and the Last Rites, rendering him nearly invincible to all but archer-type heroes. As the meta evolves, Tyrantel's integration with SP Lanford, anticipated next week on the CN server, is expected to solidify his position as an indispensable asset, particularly in mitigating single-target threats and further strengthening the 1 tank + 1 healer rush box.
