Strong and weak

As a shock troop, it deals extra damage to Ranged (×1.3), Support (×1.35) and Caster (×1.2) troops.

Elite (×1.25) troops deal extra damage to it.

Raising it

The Rōnin comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 1,250 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Rōnin every 42.8 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 27.4 seconds at level 2 and 17.5 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 900 gold to level 2 and 4,000 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.
