Raising it

The Death Knight comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 3,750 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Death Knight every 2 minutes 8 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 1 minute 36 seconds at level 2 and 1 minute 5 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 2,750 gold to level 2 and 12,350 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 2,100 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
