Backstory
Efreeti is a young elemental who has only recently come into being. Even among the arcane elementals, she stands out as something of an anomaly.
Born in the forges of the Hardum Dwarves deep within the Norn Mountains, she was imbued from birth with vast knowledge of ancient technologies and the power of flames. She served as a guardian spirit to the Dwarves, protecting them with both fire and wisdom.
After the Rift Crisis, Efreeti played a key role in discovering stable paths through the Rift. Yet even after arriving on Earth, she refused to rest. Burning with purpose, she wished to continue the fight—this time alongside humanity.
With a natural affinity for mortals and an earnest desire to help, she applied to join the Vanguards, determined to lend her flames and intellect in support of a worthy Human God.

Efreeti is the newest character in Horizon Walker, a 6-cost Heat-element mage who feels like a mix between Yvonna and Griselda — both my favorites, which makes me really excited for her.
Like Yvonna, Efreeti can trigger follow-up attacks when allies attack, but the mechanic is slightly different.
She also reduces enemy DEF, boosts herself an the team's ACC and damage, and even includes light crowd control effects similar to Griselda.
Efreeti’s kit revolves around applying an Arcane Purge effect to allies each round. When teammates attack, there's a chance to consume this effect — when consumed, Efreeti gains a Magic ATK% buff (stacking up to 3 times) and performs a follow-up attack. The chance to trigger this follow-up is based on her Intelligence stat, similar to Yui's mechanic.
The follow-up scales depending on the type of attack as well:
- Melee ATK: 30% + 10% per INT above 16
- Elemental ATK: 75% + 5% per INT above 16
At skill level 10, she also reduces the target’s Heat DEF by 30 per INT point. If her base Crit DMG is 163% or higher, she reduces all DEF by an additional 44 at talent Level 1 or 80 at Level 10.
Follow-up Activation Chance by EX Level:
- EX0 (16 INT): 30% Physical / 75% Magic
- EX1 (18 INT): 50% Physical / 85% Magic
- EX2 (19 INT): 60% Physical / 90% Magic
- EX3 (21 INT): 80% Physical / 100% Magic
- EX6 (23 INT): 100% Physical / 110% Magic
DEF Reduction Formula by EX Level:
- EX0: [(16 × 30) + 80] × 100% = 560
- EX1: [(18 × 30) + 80] × 112% = 694
- EX2: [(19 × 30) + 80] × 118% = 767
- EX3: [(21 × 30) + 80] × 130% = 923
- EX6: [(23 × 30) + 80] × 142% = 1093
Best-in-slot Stigmata: For now, Reckoning Of Sin is Efreeti’s best option. It increases AP Recovery by 4% during combat, and the 4-piece bonus grants 30 AP at the start of battle — allowing her to act early. On a successful hit, it also inflicts [Price Of Sin], which reduces the target’s Elemental DEF by 200, boosting her damage significantly.
An alternative option is The Eternal Battle, which increases her Magic Attack power by 10% during combat. If she successfully hits 3 or more enemies at once — which is easy thanks to her AoE skills — she gains an additional 35% Magic Attack for 3 rounds, making this a powerful secondary choice.
Recommended Sub Stats: Crit Damage (aim for at least 163%) > AP Recovery > Anything else.
Recommended Teams
Efreeti’s team flexibility is one of her biggest strengths. As a hybrid between Yvonna and Griselda, she can fit into many of their respective teams. However, because she blends traits from both, she doesn’t fully outshine either unit in their optimal teams. That said, if the enemies are Heat-weak, Efreeti can absolutely outperform both.
Overall, she’s incredibly versatile — she doesn’t rely on specific teammates or supports, and can even act as a support herself. This makes her a strong plug-and-play option in almost any team composition.

Blazing Mandate
Inflicts [Cinderflame] on enemies hit by a combat skill for 2 rounds. When an ally with [Arcane Purge] attacks on their turn, the caster may trigger a support attack with Ember Vortex, with a separate chance per enemy struck:
- Melee ATK: 30% + 10% per INT above 16
- Elemental ATK: 75% + 5% per INT above 16
When a support attack is triggered this way, the triggering ally’s [Arcane Purge] effect expires at the end of their turn.

Generates a 5m radius [Ember Garden] zone that moves with the caster and restores 15 AP. Grants the [Emberbound] effect to a targeted ally. When a [Emberbound] ally successfully lands an attack, the caster restores 5.5% of Max HP as healing. If the ally is hit, the caster suffers 15% of their current HP as Fixed DMG.
- [Ember Garden] (Conjure): If an ally with the [Emberbound] effect ends their turn within the zone after taking their action, they recover 44% of the AP spent on movement during that turn.
- [Emberbound]: Increases the target’s Max HP and Current HP by the same amount of Max HP the caster sacrificed. Also increases Additional DMG Boost by 9%.
