Indeed, if we approach this issue from the perspective that Nargott does, then the griffin should be on level 6, and the knight on level 5, but here's another problem: is it good that we will end up with an army where there are no flying units from level 1 to 5, but both fly on the last two levels??? - that is, it is probably better that similar units of the same faction are not located next to each other, but are scattered at different levels, differing not by 1 tier, but by 3 (+/-1) tiers.
Regarding the attacking and defensive hydras - it's logical, although it's not directly related to moving them to tier 6 (i.e., you can rebalance without moving them).
