Raising it

The Outrider 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 an Outrider every 30.7 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 19.7 seconds at level 2 and 12.6 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 700 gold to level 2 and 3,250 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 Elven Court roster opens with, so it is yours from the first match — no unlocking.
