Raising it

The Iron Monk comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 1,800 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters an Iron Monk every 1 minute 8 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 43.3 seconds at level 2 and 27.7 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 1,300 gold to level 2 and 5,700 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 750 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
