Building the [[Birthing Pool]] increases [[Imp and Familiar]] growth by 8 per week. With the [[Grail]] building of Inferno built, the Deity of Fire, will also make every upcoming week to be the week of the imp, which will double their growth.

== Special Ability: Magic Channel ==
== General Tactics and Info ==
Imps and Familiars are literally the worst creature in the game, upgraded or not, except for the [[peasant]] and the regular [[gremlin]], who becomes an useful shooter when upgraded. However, they are nice to have as cannon fodder and also to steal some mana from the enemy hero. They can also be farmed for [[Demons]], or, with the [[Grail]] building of [[Inferno]], become more than a decent stack, with their double growth. Still, they are more expensive than they should be.
 
== Special ability ==
While Imps possess no special abilities, Familiars have ability phrased as magic channel. It enables hero to gain spell points during combat if the enemy hero casts any spells and at least one stack of familiars are alive. Mana received this way is 20% of the points the enemy hero uses for the spell (rounded down). The points go straight to hero's mana pool and are at disposal the next time hero wishes to cast a spell.

{{Fanopinion|
Imps and Familiars are literally one of the worst creatures in the game, upgraded or not, except for the [[peasant]], [[pixie]] which becomes a strong and fast unit when upgraded to [[sprite]], and the regular [[gremlin]], who becomes an useful shooter when upgraded. However, they are nice to have as cannon fodder and also to steal some mana from the enemy hero. They can also be farmed for [[Demons]], or, with the [[Grail]] building of [[Inferno]], become more than a decent stack, with their double growth. Still, they are more expensive than they should be.
Enemy shooters will often prefer Imps to other Inferno creatures.  Therefore, if you intend to turn them into Demons anyway, a good tactic is to let them soak ranged attacks while the rest of your army closes the distance.
Familiars have decent speed for a level 1 creature and can be given to army-less scouting heroes to boost their overland movement.
