Raising it

The Lancer comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 1,600 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Lancer every 59.9 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 38.3 seconds at level 2 and 24.5 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 1,000 gold to level 2 and 4,500 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 650 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
