3. Upgrading Units

Upgrade a unit in your Purchase Phase by paying its upgrade cost (shown in the table above), then flip the token to its upgraded side.
Upgrading improves both attack and defense, as shown in the table.
Only deployed (active) units can be upgraded.
A defeated upgraded unit loses its upgrade.
Upgrade your Castle for 4 Gold: an upgraded Castle rolls a D8 when attacked (defense only).
