==Summary==

The Griffin is an Electronic Counter Measure frigate, often seen in E-UNI fleets offering Electronic Warfare support. ECM is touted as the most useful form of Electronic Warfare as it operates by breaking enemy target locks and preventing them from re-acquiring targets for 20 seconds. This has the potential to greatly reduce the amount of damage being directed at your fleet, prevent enemies from using Remote Repair modules on each other or to break Warp Disruption, allowing an escape. For new players interested in trying out ECM the Griffin is the ideal starting place on your way up to the {{ship|Blackbird}} and eventually the {{ship|Scorpion}}. Expect to lose them a lot though, as ECM ships are often called primary by enemy commanders. Griffins are available fully fitted for free from the Alpha hangar at the Uni ~~home station in Aldrat~~.

PvE - Not recommended as the Griffin has very little offensive capability.<br>

PvP - Solo

* Practise at the Libold frigate arena [[Frig FFA]], which is only 2 jumps from Aldrat. See how long you can last against other frigates! Use your long range to your advantage,target your opponent, colour match your jammer and activate as soon as they are in range. The non-matching jammers have a lower chance of achieving a jam but fire them off one a time until you get a jam or are vaporised. See how much more effective the right racial jammer module is against your opponent. Once engaged, practise aligning to a celestial so that you can warp out if your jam fails.

* Griffins are available fully fitted for free from the Alpha hangar at the Uni home station, PTS, Aldrat.

PvP - Fleet

* You have the advantage of speed and being a small target so align to a celestial when an engagement starts, lock targets within your optimal range and colour match your jammers to the targets as best you can. Warp as soon as you are yellow-boxed (someone starts locking you) and drop a bookmark on the way out so that you have a location to warp back to or warp back to your designated squad anchor.
