Raising it

The Plaguebringer comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 2,350 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Plaguebringer every 1 minute 25 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 55.6 seconds at level 2 and 35.6 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 1,750 gold to level 2 and 7,800 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 1,200 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
