Raising it

The War Priest comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 2,550 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a War Priest every 1 minute 40 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 1 minute 9 seconds at level 2 and 44.1 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 1,600 gold to level 2 and 7,200 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 1,450 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
