I got confused about how to use Contact because I read somewhere online that attack modes are only for attacking psionicists. But there was some good clarifying text in The Will and The Way that explained that it's always best to start with Contact, as while you can use attack modes against non-psionicists, you'll spend 3 rounds establishing the 3 tangents, whereas Contact will get you in their heads faster. This is the overly-descriptive flow chart I made to help myself understand - just thought I'd share (also interested to see if there are any rebuttals).

My daughter and I were in disagreement about how to interpret this rule. My interpretation is that this is a static ability that gives the "When Defeated" ability to all friendly non-token units for as long as it's on the board, but that the ability goes away as soon as the Gauntlet is defeated. Is this correct or does the "When Defeated" ability stay on these units even after the Gauntlet is defeated?

I don't play competitively - it's just my daughter and me playing at home. We have one booster box each of JTL, LOF, and LAW, which explains the many single copies of cards. I'm just curious to hear some feedback from the community here as to what I might be missing. Roast away!
