Raising it
The Dirge Piper comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 1,550 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Dirge Piper every 51.5 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 33 seconds at level 2 and 21.1 seconds at level 3.
Upgrades cost 1,150 gold to level 2 and 5,100 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.
