'''Rocs and Thunderbirds''' are level 5 creatures of [[Stronghold town]]. They are recruited from the [[Cliff Nest]].

''"Rocs and thunderbirds are the only [[flying]] units available at Stronghold towns. When thunderbirds attack, there is a 20% chance thunderbolts will strike their target, delivering 10x the number of attacking thunderbirds in additional damage."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 110|RoE manual]]''</sup>

== Lightning strike special ability ==
Thunderbirds have special ability lightning strike, which has 20% probability to occur after the stack have attacked, including [[retaliation]]s. When the stack attacks, the lightning strike occurs before the enemy has a chance to retaliate. If successful, the lightning strike deals additional damage for the amount of ten times the number of attacking Thunderbirds. The thunderbolts have the same visual effect as the spell [[Lightning Bolt]], and the special attack is also counted as one in terms of immunities.

== Heroes with a specialty ==
*{{H|Shiva|Barbarian}} has rocs as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any rocs or thunderbirds for each level attained after 5th level and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.

{{Fanopinion|
Since they are the only flying Stronghold unit, the rocs and thunderbirds usually die in large numbers if they are to be sent to attack the enemy straight away. They should be used tactically and not draw too much damage towards themselves, even if their health stat is the third highest for a level 5. Their defense is also pretty low.

Since the lightning strike deals direct [[damage]] that is unaffected by most combat modifiers, it's most effective against heavily armored stacks, although with only a 20% chance of occurring it cannot be relied upon.
