Portraits

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, immune to fire school spells. They are natural enemies of Genies and Master Genies and do 150% damage against them.

Although Efreeti are immune to fire magic, they are not unaffected by fire-based creature attacks. For example Magogs' fireball attack or Dragons' breath attacks are not considered to be magical and therefore they do harm efreet.

Special ability

As beings from the realm of fire magic, both Efreeti and Efreet Sultans are immune to all fire school spells. They also both hate Genies as well as 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).

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 retaliations (e.g. Vampire Lords) 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.

Clone of Sultan Efreet does not have the ability.

Creatures immune to Fire shield ability:

•   Efreet and Efreet Sultan
•   Fire and Energy Elementals
•   Firebird and Phoenix

Heroes with a specialty
