Combat values
Defeat it before collecting the Treasure and check the surrounding area for other guardians. Use the Explorer’s abilities or a nearby unit if the hero is already damaged. Collect the reward only after confirming that no threat can interrupt the interaction.
Guardian statistics and safe approach
The Baboon has 80 hit points, 7.0 speed, and a six-damage hand attack. It is a Treasure guardian, not an army unit. An eligible hero can usually defeat a single Baboon, but first check for additional guardians or enemy forces around the reward and avoid letting the fast guardian surround a low-health hero.
Avoid letting a fast guardian surround the hero
The Baboon’s 7.0 speed lets it close quickly despite only 80 hit points and six hand damage. Pull it away from other guardians, then use an eligible hero to finish the Treasure encounter. It is not an army unit and cannot be trained or added to a normal production queue.
