Raising it

The Drake comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 3,650 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Drake every 2 minutes 6 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 1 minute 33 seconds at level 2 and 1 minute 3 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 2,650 gold to level 2 and 12,000 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 2,050 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
