Griffins all the way. Besides nobody ever picks vampire lords anymore, vampire princes in tote are overpowered since 3.1.

You should correct your questions i think. IN what way do you wish to compare them? From the time that they belong in different factions, then you don't have to get into that coparison. Now, IF it is just an encyclopedic question (without meaning) and you just wish to see which creature is better, then there are a lot of things you should get into cosideration. DOes the necro hero have vampirism? If no, then that's one for griffin. Does the enemy have a good ranged (crossbowmen or arcanes)? Then the griffin will get more damage than the vampire due to the skeleton warriors protection. Also why to compare the GOOD upgrade of griffins, with the BAD upgrade of the Vamps? Compare the GOOD or the BAD ones together.

battle griffins are bad?
it's like a flying tank, and doesn't seem to have any really weak spot. and they can buy you quite a bit of time, since the enemy will hesitate to attack them multiple times in a round.
imperial griffins are too easy to kill if you make a mistake.

Battle griffins aren't bad in themselves, it's that haven doesn't really need another tank and one that is slow, esp vs stormwind factions. A pre-emptive morale dive from imperials on the other hand can save your other units from casualties and possibly introduce chaos in the opponent's tactics.

they are only slow if you compare them with imperial griffins. compared to other tanks they are quick (quicker than treants, golems, squires, pit spawns, hydras, zombies...)

but well, it is maybe the only case where choosing a tank prevents you to buy a fast creature. as if buying pit spawns prevented you to buy nightmares too.

Having those two compared is like comparing Paris Hilton to Mother Teresa.....good lord...!
The imperial griffin has speed,strenght and fits into havens playstyle wery well(omg that was soo cheezy),though whatch out for treants-they liky to klly griffy...!
Vampire lord are 1.expired since vapire princes apperared+they totally rule,not that i like ncro...
                2.imo nobody pics them because in new necro its all about skellies/wraith,they are just like liches-like them but d.e. can be spend better.
If you want to compare two "really different"monsters that really "leave their mark"in the game,then try the Conscript vs. Red Version Diva comparison,like they are sooo different

I dunno, I've always liked Vamp lords better than princes because on no retaliation. That allows them to have better survivability since no retaliation activates every single time and torpor works like 50% of the time. As for vamp lords against imp grifs...I'd say that imp grifs are better overall in a battle, but in a battle between the 2, I'd say that vamp lords win.

no retaliation is an overrated ability (except creeping) and in the rare case torpor does not trigger, i would rather have my vampires soaking up the retaliation than my wraiths

oh and imperials > vamp lords

Well I only really use Vampire Princes in the late game, at which point Necropolis is no longer at its height of power.

How would they EVER be face to face, one on one? come on! Griffins overall are a lot better! You haven't been studied for the past two years

huhuhuhu? in English? In any case: Battle dive and rush dive are completely different abilities. The one has double damage, the other 75% of the normal damage. The one hits a single target, the other multiple. The one can hit your units, the other I am not so sure. it always depends which is better

in another hand, you don't pick battle griffins for rush dive, do you?
like you don't pick imperials for unlimited retaliations, since they die in one blow

Vampire lords, love them alot more.

I don't get why everyone hugs princes so much though, people have told me why they like princes more all the time, but torpor has triggered maybe 30% of the time for me, the other times, retaliation goes BOOM
