'''Efreet and Efreet Sultans''' are level 6 creatures of [[Inferno]]. They are recruited from the [[Fire Lake]]. Note, that Efreeti is singular while plural phrasing is Efreet in game.
 
''"Efreet and efreet sultans are recruited into Inferno forces from the realm of fire magic, and are, consequently, [[Immunity|immune]] to [[School of Fire Magic|Fire School]] [[spell]]s.

== General Tactics and Info ==
Although efreeti are immune to fire magic, they are not unaffected by fire-based creature attacks. For example [[Magog]]s' fireball attack or [[Dragon]]s' breath attacks are not considered to be magical and therefore they do harm efreet. ''(In {{hota}} efreeti are vulnerable only to the central hex of [[Magog]]'s attack){{-wh}}.''
 
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.

== Special ability ==
== {{hota}} Sprite for Efreet ==
As beings from the realm of fire magic, both Efreeti and Efreet Sultans are immune to all [[School of Fire Magic|fire school]] spells. They also both [[hate]] [[Genie and Master Genie|Genies]] as well as [[Genie and Master Genie|Master Genies]]. In addition, Efreet Sultans have natural fire shield, which reflects 20% (cp. basic level [[Fire Shield]]) of the damage taken back to the attacker in [[melee]] combat. [[Orb of Tempestuous Fire]] is increasing the effect of the ability by 50% (30% of damage reflected in total).
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)
 
The Fire Shield does not reduce the damage taken by Efreet Sultans. The amount of damage reflected back to the attacker is defined the moment an attacker inflicts it. Even if the attack kills the Efreet stack, the shield still causes damage to the attacker, but damage in excess of what was required to kill the stack is not counted when calculating the damage the fire shield does.
 
Also, creatures with the ability to evade enemy [[retaliation]]s (e.g. [[Vampire Lord]]s) suffer from the fire shield. The only way for creatures to attack Efreet Sultans without being affected by the shield is to use [[ranged attack]].
 
[[Protection from Fire]] effectively reduces damage from fire shield in fight against Efreet Sultans.
 
[[Clone]] of Sultan Efreet does not have the ability.

Discussion

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.

Horn of the Abyss Sprite for Efreet

In Horn of the Abyss, 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).--FirePaladin2 (talk) 17:31, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
