Raising it

The War Elephant comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 3,750 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a War Elephant every 2 minutes 13 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 1 minute 41 seconds at level 2 and 1 minute 9 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 2,600 gold to level 2 and 11,750 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 2,700 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
