== General Tactics and Info ==
===== Heroes with a specialty =====
They are critical in the early game, together with the [[Griffin and Royal Griffin|Griffins]], due to them being almost the only Castle ranged attackers, having good damage and also the marksmen's twice shot. However, with each ranged attack in a turn, the Marksmen will use up two shots, not one.


===== Heroes with a specialty =====
*{{H|Edric|Knight}} has griffins as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any griffins for each level attained after 3rd level, and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.


*{{H|Valeska|Knight}} has archers as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any archer or marksman each level she attains after the 2nd level, and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.
== General Tactics and Info ==
Griffins are fast flying units with relatively high health, an interesting special ability, and quite a good growth rate if you build the [[Griffin Bastion]]. However, they have rather low damage. Royal griffins make decent siege attacker due to their unlimited retaliations, which allows them to fly over the walls and give hits in the counter attacks.

Heroes with a specialty
  • EdricEdricEdricEdric Edric the Knight has griffins as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any griffins for each level attained after 3rd level, and gives them a speed bonus of 1.

General Tactics and Info

Griffins are fast flying units with relatively high health, an interesting special ability, and quite a good growth rate if you build the Griffin Bastion. However, they have rather low damage. Royal griffins make decent siege attacker due to their unlimited retaliations, which allows them to fly over the walls and give hits in the counter attacks.
