Raising it
The Slinger comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 400 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Slinger every 8.7 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 5.5 seconds at level 2 and 4 seconds at level 3.
Upgrades cost 300 gold to level 2 and 1,250 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 Orc Horde roster opens with, so it is yours from the first match — no unlocking.
