Strong: Keeping constructs alive.
Weak: Cannot fight at all.
Cavalry (×1.3), Shock (×1.35) and Beast (×1.4) troops deal extra damage to it.
Raising it
The Gaugekeeper comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 1,500 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Gaugekeeper every 1 minute 3 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 40.6 seconds at level 2 and 26 seconds at level 3.
Upgrades cost 1,050 gold to level 2 and 4,600 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 500 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
