Raising it

The Horse Archer 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 Horse Archer every 22.8 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 14.6 seconds at level 2 and 9.3 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 500 gold to level 2 and 2,400 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 600 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
