Efreeti are among the game's most dangerous creatures. Whereas they can be [[slowed]] to be targeted by [[Ranged attackers]], they are formidable offensive units. Being able to fly at a relatively high speed, in addition to the devastating fire shield and immunity to [[Blind]] makes these some of the most formidable 6th level creatures in Heroes III.
'''Tip:''' If your hero has slow, it should be utilized on Efreet. Past that, you should try and soften or kill them with [[direct damage spells]] or ranged attackers, because the fire shield can inflict heavy losses, even to [[creature stacks]] far stronger.

In {{hota}}, the adventure map sprite for the Efreet seems to have been fixed. Someone should add the info to the article (I'd do it, but sometime later).--[[User:FirePaladin2|FirePaladin2]] ([[User talk:FirePaladin2|talk]]) 17:31, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

== "Note, that Efreeti is singular while plural phrasing is Efreet in game." ==
i promised to use my reading skills more often and look what did it do to me.
efreeti/efreet spelling seems to be the peculiar/interesting/wild DnD tradition:
https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Efreeti
i traced the source back to 1993 [https://en.calameo.com/read/000000019bbda177554aa DnD Monster Manual], which is more than enough for us.
all the in-game spelling seems to follow this rule (mostly).
efreeT:
*[[Restoration_of_Erathia_Manual_Page_98]] - plural ('Efreet and Efreet Sultans')
*as a race (Rashka, Octavia, Xyron, Zydar) - singular
*[[Restoration_of_Erathia_Manual_Page_114]] - plural ('damage to efreet')
*[[Rumor]] - plural (Efreet are unaffected by spells of Fire Magic)
*HeroSpec.txt specialty name - plural (or it will be the only singular among Demons, Dragons, Elves and so on from other creature specialties)
*CRTRAITS.TXT - plural: 1 - Efreeti/Efreet; 2 - 'Hates Efreet' (in comparison to 'Hates Genies')
efreeTI:
*[[Armageddon's Blade Manual Page 10]] Xeron's race - singular (Male Efreeti)
*HEROBIOS.TXT Xyron's bio - singular ('Xyron seems to like fire even more than anyone would expect of an Efreeti')
since im still not comfortable enough in the new efreeti/efreet reality, im not sure what we have to do with all this, but seems like some fixes should be done --[[User:GroundhogYear|GroundhogYear]] ([[User talk:GroundhogYear|talk]]) 18:17, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
:So we need to move this page to <nowiki>[[Efreeti and Efreeti Sultan]]</nowiki>. [[File:Hero Stormblessed small.gif|→ima|link=user:imahero]] 18:26, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
::ure still trying to deny what's happening here too. i understand that. Efreeti and Efreet, but Efreet Sultan and Efreet Sultans. --[[User:GroundhogYear|GroundhogYear]] ([[User talk:GroundhogYear|talk]]) 21:58, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
:::I vote we treat efreet like foot/feet. 1 efroot, 2 efreet. [[File:Hero Stormblessed small.gif|→ima|link=user:imahero]] 01:30, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
::::I'm guessing the [[Capitalization Reference|changing of creatures to lower case]] is likely more of a trigger for most people (than going from efreet to efreeti). [[File:Hero Rashka small.gif|→ima|link=user:imahero]] 03:30, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
