I suggest we discuss flying units in the second Heroes game. It's obvious that the weakest of them is the fairy from the Elven Castle, and the strongest is the black dragon. But what about the others (and even these two)?

Okay! The vampire and phoenix are unmatched masters of diversion tactics; archers don't fare well against them!

Barbarian units are quite strong. Gargoyles and griffins have great advantages due to their speed. They are ideal against archers.

What kind of creatures are you talking about? What kind of Barbarians? We're talking about Heroes of Might and Magic II! And there aren't any creatures like that for the Barbarians! But Wizards have them!

Sorry, I wrote something wrong. Of course, I meant Rukh for the Wizards. It's the only flying unit for Wizards, and it's quite strong. One of the strongest flying units is the Phoenix. It has high speed and good stats. Not a Champion unit, but still decent.

At the same time, phoenixes are immune to a significant number of types of magic, in particular lightning, cold ray, and also the storm of elements!

So, phoenixes turn out to be quite balanced flying units. Speed + stats + immunities. Once again, the Sorceress outshines everyone. Dragons are certainly good, but the Black Dragon is the THIRD upgrade for higher-tier units, and that's very, very expensive. And dragons of level 1 and 2 (before the Black Dragon) are much weaker.

Yes, of course, green and red dragons are weaker. However, considering their cost of 3500 and 1 (and this is the main thing) sulfur, obtaining a unit with 13-13 attack-defense, 25-50 damage, magic immunity, and above-average speed (5) – red dragons are quite interesting. In my opinion, this unit, considering the cost of construction, is one of the most economically viable in Heroes of Might and Magic II!

I agree, but building it will require some effort, and Phoenixes are cheaper!

Yes, rebuilding will be quite expensive, especially in terms of stone and sulfur.
By the way, what's your opinion on griffins?

Griffins are a good choice – they have a relatively inexpensive building, and they effectively block ranged units, with decent stats!

They appear late in the game... by the time you get to use them, they might not have anywhere to fly to anymore :) :(
But overall, they are really good creatures, considering they are effective against everyone...
