Strong and weak

Strong: Sustain, long grinds.

Weak: Burst, being reached.

Cavalry (×1.3), Shock (×1.35) and Beast (×1.4) troops deal extra damage to it.

Raising it

The Blood Shaman comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 1,800 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Blood Shaman every 1 minute 2 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 39.7 seconds at level 2 and 25.4 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 1,350 gold to level 2 and 6,000 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 750 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
