Role, availability & values
Freitag has 75 hit points, moves at 5.0 speed, costs 25 Food and takes 10 seconds to train. Its hand attack deals 6 damage, with a 3.0× bonus against Treasure guardians and a 0.1× modifier against Villagers. Access depends on the scenario or civilization that provides it.
Matchup & timing
Use Freitag as a low-cost helper when an Explorer needs to clear Treasure guardians. Keep it close to the Hero and avoid exposing it to regular military units, which can defeat its small health pool quickly.
Low-cost Treasure helper
Freitag is a special pet associated with Treasure encounters, not a normal military unit available in every match. It costs 25 Food, has 75 hit points and moves at 5.0 speed. Its hand attack deals six damage, but its 3× bonus against Treasure guardians makes it more useful in a guarded-reward fight than its base damage suggests. Against Villagers it deals only 0.1× damage. Bring Freitag with an Explorer, use it to help clear a guardian and protect it while the Explorer collects the Treasure. Its small health pool makes it vulnerable to ordinary army units, so do not send it ahead by itself. The 10-second training time and 25-Food cost are modest where the scenario or civilization offers access, but the pet’s role remains narrow. Use it to support map exploration and avoid treating it as a substitute for units that can defend the settlement.
How the guardian bonus changes its value
Freitag has only six base hand damage, but its threefold bonus against Treasure guardians raises its output sharply in the intended matchup. This is why it can help an Explorer clear a guarded reward despite its very small health pool. Its Villager damage multiplier is only 0.1, so using it to attack workers is inefficient and exposes the pet to danger. The 25-Food cost is comparatively small, but access is special and may depend on the scenario or civilization. Keep the Macaque behind the Explorer or other units, use the guardian bonus to help finish the encounter and retreat as soon as ordinary military units threaten it. After the Treasure is claimed, it can accompany the hero for scouting, but should not be sent into a stand-up fight.
Keep the pet with its Explorer
The pet’s best contribution is a guardian fight that the Explorer can finish and collect. At 75 hit points, Freitag should retreat from ordinary troops as soon as its support role is complete.
Scenario availability
Special access changes by scenario and civilization, so check the current unit source before including Freitag in a standard army plan.
Protection during collection
Use other units to guard the Explorer while the pet helps with the guardian fight. Once the reward is claimed, regroup rather than leaving a low-health Macaque behind.
Low-cost Treasure guardian support
Freitag the Pet Macaque is a special pet whose six-damage hand attack has a 3× bonus against Treasure guardians. It can help an Explorer clear a manageable reward, but its 75 hit points make it fragile against ordinary military units. The 0.1× modifier against Villagers is another reason to avoid using it as a raider. Keep Freitag with the Hero and nearby troops so the pet contributes to the guardian fight without being isolated.
Availability and food investment
Freitag costs 25 Food and takes 10 seconds to train when a scenario or civilization provides access. That low price makes it useful for a specific Treasure encounter, but its access is not universal. Check the current unit menu before including it in an opening plan. Scout the guardian group first, use the pet’s bonus where it applies and collect the reward promptly. Once the encounter is over, protect Freitag or keep it near the Explorer instead of sending it toward an enemy army.
