Raising it

The Skiff Rider comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 1,650 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Skiff Rider every 1 minute 6 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 42.4 seconds at level 2 and 27.1 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 1,200 gold to level 2 and 5,450 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 750 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
