Azz Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 While I could care less(I never hated nor liked the class) I can see them making it a shared promotion between Wyvern Riders and Pegasus Knights if they have barnching promotions and if they are made one like in FE:SS?

Honey Bunny Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Heh. I see what you did there Bobobarrel. More seriously I think gryphon rider would work best as its own line of fliers. I think an all around good flier that uses swords, and makes up for its two weaknesses with a high skill would work best. Then for one possible promotion have it gain bow usage and just be a straight upgrade without changing much else about the class. I think giving this promotion bombard, and making bombard work by allowing the unit attack an extra time with a bow after getting a critical hit would make sense. I'm all out of ideas for another promotion thing. Maybe a monster hunter type class? Edited January 24, 2015 by Honey Bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentacotus Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Could look something like this: Gryphon Rider --> Gryphon Knight --> Gryphon Paladin (if third tiers are available) But if they come back just make them their own class.

Dragrath Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 as they are now they need to go however I would not mind them being split into their own line IF as suggested they switch to wielding swords to give us a full weapon triangle... (In addition we could split off the magic and staffs from pegasi for their own line they could still ride pegasi mounts or get their own thing IDK) aka Pegasus knight-> Falcon knight lance lance/sword Wyvern rider -> Wyvern lord axes axes/lances Gryphon rider->Gryphon masters(or somthing IDK name wise) sword sword/axe then we could have a pegasi sub with magic and staves so we could have a versatile mix of fliers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rothene Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Griffin riders not riding into battle with stormhammers as their main weapons shouting "It'z HAMMAH TEIM!" do not deserve to exist as a class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragrath Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 YES!!!THIS IS GENIUS!!! glad you like it the real issue would be how to handle the magic flier magic->magic/staff or staff->magic/staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirie Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Highly relevant to this thread; Katie is the best. I like the concept of Griffin Riders in general, but I feel the idea was executed terribly in Awakening. I wouldn't mind them coming back if they started out as a first tier class and FE got rid of the whole mount-swapping thing when promoting because it makes no sense.

TwinBlade Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Another "don't care" here. It's all been said already, but I don't care for the same reasons. They weren't a crucial class, they didn't feel like they belonged in the game anyway. Sure I wouldn't mind the extra class, but give em a bit of a story. Make them wield swords, would make the most sense. Wyvern riders primary is axes, Pegasus riders have lances, so why not Gryphons with swords? Adds the most balance this way, and makes the most sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariovsonic999 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) It would make sense if they have a 3rd faction being the equivalent of Vikings. Why not? I mean we can have a scenario like Japan's Pegasus Knight, Rome's Wyvern Knight, and Viking's Griffin Knight?

Sethera Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) At first I was pretty "meh" about Griffon Riders but the Azz01's suggestion of them rounding out the weapon triangle is making me reconsider. I'm a big fan of balance and stuff so it sounds like it could work out that way. It would make sense if they have a 3rd faction being the equivalent of Vikings. Why not? I mean we can have a scenario like Japan's Pegasus Knight, Rome's Wyvern Knight, and Viking's Griffin Knight? I think that could be really cool.

I mean we can have a scenario like Japan's Pegasus Knight, Rome's Wyvern Knight, and Viking's Griffin Knight? Yes to this but the real question is would they have horned helmets? Also does the graphic engine support viking beards cause im pretty sure awakening had none, not sure if that was graphics or cultral.

Respite&Nepenthe Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yes, for variety. Gryphon Riders are more or less a more evened-out Wyvern Lord, which I enjoyed. I generally classed Gerome as a Gryphon Rider (just could not take the low Skill and Speed caps). I generally focus a lot on Skill and Speed... But at the end of the day, I suppose that Pegasus Knights and their promotions are more suited to my taste, though their Defense and Strength are a little lacking.

DarkSage764 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 The more classes in the game the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Alchemist Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Either give them their own tree or ditch them altogether. I personally think we should have something equivalent to Dark Fliers, like a Wyvern mounted unit that uses Dark Magic and Axes, since Dark Flier gets Galeforce as it's gimick. I still made Cherche a Gryphon Rider to pass down Deliverer to Gerome anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorMajora Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I'm thinking that maybe Wyverns get axes, Pegasi get lances, and Gryphons gget swords? Otherwise there's not much of a point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weso12 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Ironically no gryphons ever appeared in harry potter,only the hippogriffs,who are similar creatures,but still different. Even more ironically* is that apparently Pegasus do (they call just winged horse rather than pegasus though) *I really don't care if I'm using ironic right, the definition of ironic is so obtuse it's hard to tell if it's ever being use right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) I figured Gryphon Riders could become their own class and Wyvern Lords could return to their roots as third-tier Pegasus Knight/Cavaliers Edited February 7, 2015 by Lord_Seliph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerX51 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Why do so many people here seem to dislike Gryphon Riders? I thought they were a very unique and interesting class... although it definitely would have been better if they had been their own, separate class instead of watering down the Wyvern Riders' promotion tree.

The Protagonist Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Should Gryphon Riders come back? I mean, I didn't know that Warcraft IV had been announced, or was ever going to be, but I'd love to see that unit back. Oh? For Fire Emblem? They were only in FE13, where class identity was basically nonexistent. Too soon to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega zero Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The devs can use Gryphon riders as an excuse to give us recruitable Soldiers. Just have soldiers promote to either Halberdier or Gryphon rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
