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)

"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 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 --GroundhogYear (talk) 18:17, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

So we need to move this page to [[Efreeti and Efreeti Sultan]]. →ima 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. --GroundhogYear (talk) 21:58, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
I vote we treat efreet like foot/feet. 1 efroot, 2 efreet. →ima 01:30, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
