Raising it

The Naginata Guard comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 1,000 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Naginata Guard every 31.4 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 20.1 seconds at level 2 and 12.8 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 650 gold to level 2 and 3,100 gold to level 3. Every level also makes the troops it musters hit harder and last longer.

It is one of the five troops the Jade Dynasty roster opens with, so it is yours from the first match — no unlocking.
