First time poster here for me, as wells: Edit: Apparently third time. I forgot I've posted here before. For me, the Skyscale is the perfect mix of Griffon, Springer and Jackal. It has the ability to traverse long distances like the Griffon, except it does not require a high altitude starting point to stay in the air. It is slower than a griffon, though, as it can not do a dive or the extra fast Dive+Flap for fast speed. It outperforms the Springer in verticality once upgraded fully. It can rise straight up, higher than a Springer and that's before using wall clinging to boost up even higher. Lastly, it's barrel-roll is comparable to a Jackal, allowing you to speedily dodge past enemies. The Skyscale has replaced my traveling mounts for 90% of things. I only use Griffon to get somewhere fast if I need to, such as the Dragonfall Boss Rush. And I use Skimmer when I don't think I can get from one shore to the other.
