As a shock troop, it deals extra damage to Ranged (×1.3), Support (×1.35) and Caster (×1.2) troops.

Elite (×1.25) troops deal extra damage to it.

Raising it

The Gnasher comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 1,050 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Gnasher every 39.9 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 25.5 seconds at level 2 and 16.3 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 750 gold to level 2 and 3,450 gold to level 3. Every level also makes the troops it musters hit harder and last longer.

It is one of the five troops the Damned Covenant roster opens with, so it is yours from the first match — no unlocking.
