Raising it

The Halberd Lord comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 750 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Halberd Lord every 22.3 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 14.3 seconds at level 2 and 9.1 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 550 gold to level 2 and 2,550 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 700 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
