==Summary==

The ~~Caldari EWAR~~ frigate, and an ~~excellent example of its class~~. It has 5 mids allowing a rainbow fit of one of each racial jammer for flying ECM, and an afterburner. It has 2 low slots that usually have a Signal Distortion Amplifier and a Damage Control module. ~~The Griffin is fragile even for a frigate, which coupled with its popularity as a target that it shares with all EWAR ships, makes it a difficult ship to bring home safe.~~

The Griffin is an Electronic Counter Measure frigate [[ECM Guide]], often seen in E-UNI fleets offering Electronic Warfare support [[EWar_101_Guide]]. 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 secs. 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 Blackbird and eventually the Scorpion. Expect to lose them a lot though, as ECM ships are often called primary by enemy commanders. However, Griffins are available fully fitted for free from the Alpha hanger at the Uni home station, PTS, Aldrat.

==Tactics==

PvE - Not recommended

PvP - Solo

* practice at the Libold frigate arena. See how long you can last against other frigates !! Use your range to target your opponent, colour match your jammer and activate as soon as 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 vapourised. See how much more effective the right racial jammer module is against your opponent. Once engaged practice aligning to a celestial so that you can warp out if your jam fails.

PvP - Fleet

* You have the advantage of speed and being a small target so when an engagement starts align to a celestial and start your afterburner. Lock targets within your optimal range and colour match your jammers to the targets as best you can. Warp as soon as you are targeted 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.
