Raising it

The Iron Pagoda comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 2,150 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters an Iron Pagoda every 1 minute 22 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 53.6 seconds at level 2 and 34.3 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 1,450 gold to level 2 and 6,750 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 1,000 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
