Strong and weak

Strong: Buildings, clumps, the far side of a wall.

Weak: Anything that shoots up; it cannot run.

As a siege troop, it deals extra damage to Titan (×1.3), Legend (×1.25), Construct (×1.5) and Levy (×1.2) troops.

Ranged (×1.3) troops deal extra damage to it.

Raising it

The Air Ship comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 2,450 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters an Air Ship every 1 minute 47 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 1 minute 15 seconds at level 2 and 48.3 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 1,650 gold to level 2 and 7,500 gold to level 3. Every level also makes the troops it musters hit harder and last longer.

Before it can be raised at all it has to be unlocked in the Armory, for 1,400 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
