The wild dwarves of the Aerie Peaks have once again responded to the call and brought their mighty gryphons to
aid the besieged Alliance in its time of need. Armed with their trusty, lightning-powered Stormhammers, the
hearty dwarves seek to keep the skies of Lordaeron free from enemy forces. The proud gryphons share their
riders� implacable resolve and stand as noble symbols of the Alliance�s fortitude.

Gryphon Riders are typically used as supporting units with an army or players create a bunch of
them to surprise the enemy as they did in Warcraft II. If the enemy for example has a bunch of
Huntresses and no Archers they are in a position to be weak to air units. If you create 2-3 Gryphon
Aviaries and create a group of Gryphons you can catch the player without any defenses. The key is
to not let the enemy know what you are up to. To do this you can hide the Gryphon Aviaries or at least
try to hide the Gryphons until you have a bunch of them.
Gryphons can be useful for hit-and-run attacks on enemy expansions. Take advantage of trees and
water to hover over where ground units cannot reach them. If you have to run, run to areas that
ground units cannot reach or to the safety of towers.
Don't build a bunch of Gryphons if the enemy has a lot of ranged units waiting for them. If the
enemy has a lot of Crypt Fiends it's not wise to use Gryphons against them except in a hit-and-run
manner.
Gryphon Riders do splash damage.
