Strong and weak
Strong: Vs burst and siege.
Weak: Grinding, being outrun.
Cavalry (×1.3), Shock (×1.35) and Beast (×1.4) troops deal extra damage to it.
Raising it
The Runesmith comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 2,250 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Runesmith every 1 minute 38 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 1 minute 7 seconds at level 2 and 42.6 seconds at level 3.
Upgrades cost 1,650 gold to level 2 and 7,450 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 1,000 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
