These are the Javelineer's own figures, the ones the Armory prints. In battle the Orc Horde's trait is added on top: +15% damage · +6% speed. Range, reach and speed are in the battlefield's own units.

Special powers

Strong and weak

Strong: Wyrms, big units.

Weak: Shields, longer range.

As a ranged troop, it deals extra damage to Siege (×1.3), Anti-Armor (×1.2) and Beast (×1.2) troops.

Cavalry (×1.35), Shock (×1.3) and Beast (×1.3) troops deal extra damage to it.

Raising it

The Javelineer comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 700 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Javelineer every 19 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 12.2 seconds at level 2 and 7.8 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 500 gold to level 2 and 2,350 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 150 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
