Flying units in Heroes 2.

Yes, all the creatures are decent; it depends on the faction and the situation. Sprites (+4 archers) can be effectively used to overwhelm a strong stack. Phoenixes – no need to comment! Vampires are good in a group. Bone dragons, for some reason, I don't particularly like... Warlocks are more interesting in this regard (possibly due to the number of flying units): Gargoyles are mainly used as cannon fodder, blocking archers in small groups. Griffins are good in combination with magic (speed, rage, hide). Red dragons get a bonus if they attack Dragon City. And rock golems are a great find for Wizards. With such HP, you don't have to be afraid of small skirmishes anymore!
