Griffex

These creatures have a fixation with gathering gold. In order to protect their loot, they electrify it. They are so rare, that you can buy a house with one Griffex feather!

Overview
Griffex is a bad monster. The game says that he is a curser despite the fact that he only inflicts Blind (not even AoE). He mostly does raw damage, which is troublesome because of his power stat. His trait sucks and his life is the lowest of any epic in the game. All he is for is an indirect boost for your attacker as explained below, but even then that us very situational.

Pros:

 * Good speed
 * Good relic slots

Cons:

 * Bad power and trait
 * Atrociously low health
 * Only inflicts Blind on a few moves (excluding Special with Daze and slow)
 * Moderate cooldowns

Recommended Moveset

 * Storm Rider (AoE 40 Thunder dmg, 40s, 2cd)
 * Leaf Cyclone (60 Nature dmg, 21s, 2cd)
 * Bright Claws (50 Nature dmg + Blind, 20s, 0cd)
 * Stormcaller / Spinning Air (Storm for AoE 25 Thunder dmg, 35s, 2cd) / (Air for 50 Nature dmg, 18s, 2cd)

Griffex has only one useful move with a status effect, so running him as a curser like what the game says is a bad idea, so here you are taking advantage of Griffex's speed and relic slots to deal some damage to the enemy team. Three strength runes and two Oblation staffs should be enough to deal more damage and remove a lot of stamina from the enemy team. Storm Rider is the first and probably only move you will run, to deal some AoE damage to the enemy team. This way the enemy team has less health and therefore your attacker needs less damage to kill the enemy team. This is very situational and not recommended. Leaf Cyclone deals heavy nature damage, but shouldn't be used when the Oblation staffs Griffex holds are still able to be used, since it will waste all of the uses on one enemy. The same applies with Bright Claws, except Bright Claws blinds an enemy with no cooldown. The last move is useless, so don't worry about it.

Recommended Runes: 3 Strength; 2 Strength, 1 Speed; 2 Strength, 1 Life

Recommended Relics: 2 Oblation Staffs

Recommended Allies

 * A healer is very necessary if you want Griffex to live longer. Shields are of more use since it adds extra defence to Griffex's already garbage health.
 * An earth attacker to deal with Storm Rider. This move will deal less damage against Thunder monsters, so an earth attacker can make up for the lost damage with the elemental advantages they have. Armole can be run as an attacker and also has a 50% shield for Griffex, making him a very good ally for Griffex.

Counters

 * Any attacker that hits even remotely hard can kill Griffex due to his abysmal health.
 * Rockinho has both the Thunder element and the Earth element, so neither Griffex nor the earth attacker as mentioned above will do much against him. He is also immune to blind, which means Griffex will do nothing against him. He also has a staff relic, so he can hold an Energizer Staff to deal with Griffex's Oblation staffs.
