Raising it

The Sapper comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 750 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Sapper every 26.6 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 17 seconds at level 2 and 10.9 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 550 gold to level 2 and 2,550 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 Dwarven Clans roster opens with, so it is yours from the first match — no unlocking.
