Most units have a Basic Side and a Promoted Side. Units are selected for Deployment on their Basic Side. Minions may only be flipped to their Promoted Side if a Talent, Fortress Advancement, or other effect specifies that this occurs. Heroes can level up to their Promoted Side. If a Talent or other game effect causes a Promoted Minion to flip to its Basic Side, it keeps its current Upgrades and Health, even if its Health on its Promoted Side is greater than the Health Stat on its Basic Side. If a Promoted Hero is flipped to its Basic Side, it loses all of its Upgrades but keeps its current Health even if its Health exceeds its Basic Side' s Health Stat. See also: Level Up, Promoted
