Lizard or Griffon

[Zangdaarr]

So I currently have the Griffon and I have the opportunity to ge tthe Lizard, the Griffon is extremely useful, allowing me to push back the greed at one wall so they are not able to destroy it. While the Lizard seems offensive.

Which one would be the most appropriate to run the caves without dying ?

[Hellblade]

I'd say Lizard is more defensive due to very low stamina and recharging only in sun.

[Zeke]

the lizard has a nice attack but it seems better for blasting from behing the walls
take the griffin, quick escape required in the caves XD

Griffon is the best mount in the game.
You can:
-Run fast
-Run a long time
-You get him early in the game
-Recover everywhere, includes Woods and Winter, he's the only one who can do this.
-And he can "Fight" by pushing back.
-You can use this to hold the enemys away, so your troops can manage to get behind the wall
-or to push forward the safe way
-or when your workes build a new wall but aren't done yet, you can give them more time.

The Lizard can stock up a lot of Staima in the sun too, but it costs time.
And he is truly the best to fight with, but only alone.
Because even when the greed is on fire, they still can harm your troops and walls, so you have to fight alone and give them some time to burn out.

Can you change the shift key, to something else??

I find the lizard better at combat since you can take out entire waves of greed alone until the special enemies start spawning and even in the caves the gryphon only pushes back the greed, allowing them to stack up if they spawn faster than your troops kill them, while the lizard will burn them all. I've made it out of the cave in island 4 in time with the lizard as well so speed shouldn't be an issue.

[Reinhard Bradwarscht]

Yes, i said that too, the lizard is the best to fight with.
But your argument in the cave, is not true.
When you burn them, they still hit your knight and drain their health.
And if you push them back right with the Griffon they get shot and can't reach your tropps while also the spawn gets destroyed.
After that, your troops finish the troops you pushed back and survived the arrow rain before

How do I use a mounts skill? Like the Gryphon or Lizard?

How do I make Lizard just to run? I don't want him to spit fire everytime a lot of times I want just to use sprint. Someone told me to use shift + A or D, but it doesn't work for me, Lizard just spit fire, like if I use double push A or D.

I have trouble making the grifon recovering, may you explain me how ? When he is exhausted, even on grass where he will feed, he stays exhausted.

[sleazy]

If the lizard only recovers when the sun's out, why does it not recover during winter? Is it a glitch/bug? Seems dumb for me that it's solar powered but does not recover when it's cold.

you have to wait till he is done with the animation, sometimes he does it twice, look at the tail, when he stops moving, you're done for sure, even waited a bit too long

He dons't recover because he needs grass too, like every mount, exept the griffon, thats why he is so op

you have to walk and then hold the shift button, then he shouldn't breath fire

Thank you for the tail tips
