Gameplay

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner

Dyaus is Cielo's Atma Avatar, which he transforms into at the beginning of battles unless the party is ambushed. He resists Electricity and is weak to ailments (but not ailments under other attributes, such as Curse). Dyaus cannot use Cielo's submachine gun, but is capable of using all of his set skills.

Dyaus's stats have a high focus on Agility and Magic to the detriment of his Strength. His skills are determined by the Mantra he has mastered, where any of the skills he has learned can be freely added to or removed from his skill set outside of battle.

Dyaus's resistances have been changed from Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner, losing his weaknesses to Poison and Mute. Additionally, his stat growth is more balanced and he starts with only 6 skill slots due to his starting level being less than 20.

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner

Dyaus is Cielo's Atma and the only one of the Embryon's Asuras capable of ranged combat via the ability to shoot a beam from his mouth and flight. He uses these abilities to quickly reach Coordinate 136 from Muladhara and rescue Sera from Mick the Slug and Bat, forcing the latter to retreat due to the sustained damage and giving space for the remaining Embryon to kill the former. Later, Dyaus flies Serph, Argilla and Gale out of the Deserted Ship as it explodes, which he later remarks as physically straining.

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2

Cielo retains Dyaus from his time in the Junkyard. He transforms into Dyaus when the Embryon are in flying vehicles to fly alongside them. When Serph and Sera are flying to the HAARP Facility, they are targeted by fighter planes, which Cielo destroys at the cost of his life. His Solar Data in the Sun later remarks that he might have been able to survive longer if he had used his laser attack.

A girl in the Underground City can challenge the Embryon to a video game, which is a top-down shooter featuring Dyaus as the player character.

Manga Appearances

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner Anthology Comic

Cielo transforms into Dyaus on chapter 7 to watch Serph and Heat as they head into Mystery Castle to hunt. He later finds them collapsed on the roof due to overeating.

Trivia

• While the manual claims Dyaus is known as Tyr in Norse mythology, this is an oversimplification. More accurately, the names of Dyaus and Týr stem from a common Indo-European root, *Dyēus, though Týr specifically comes from a derived word *deywós (cognate with Sanskrit deva) rather than from *Dyēus directly.
