When you use a ↷ ability of one of your characters or when one of your Quintesson

Your High Bailiff Bollag, Court Knight has
Brave.
When all characters untap 🠪 Flip this.
They cancel each other out. An attacker is not able to fulfill both conditions, therefore the attacking player can choose a defender as normal.
The opponent can choose to attack any available target; they essentially cancel each other out.
No, tap abilities (ones with the tap symbol) happen when the player activates them on their turn and dont happen if the character is tapped in any other way.
No, a Tap ability is something you use on your turn, not whenever the character becomes tapped. If you play EMP Wave on your turn, all characters will be tapped. Your turn continues, and you can play an upgrade, flip a character, etc. At the end of your turn, all characters will untap, and your opponents turn will begin.
No. Those are mutually exclusive. Tap abilities on Micro Masters are costs for triggering their abilities, so other in-game actions do not allow you to use that ability.
Brave is a new keyword ability that helps some characters protect the rest of their team. When
choosing which enemy to attack, you must choose one with brave if possible.
You choose one of them to attack.
No, and in fact you can’t even if you want to. Brave doesn’t override the rules for attacking
tapped/untapped characters. If your opponent has any tapped characters you must attack one
of them. If a tapped character had brave, you would have to attack that one if you could.
If two or more characters have Brave, the attacking player can choose between them.
You can still play an Action or Upgrade if you haven’t and would like to, but then you can move on. Each turn, you can use one tap ability. Raider Detour will not be able to attack because he is tapped. However if he were untapped somehow, he would still be able to attack.
Micro Masters tend to be small, and they’ll often be outmatched on the battlefield. But that
doesn’t mean they can’t help your cause. They have tap abilities that give you an option other
than attacking with them.
Tap abilities all have the tap symbol (marked as [t] in text documents like this one) to the left
of the arrow.
You can use one tap ability during your turn, before you attack. It’s one of your turn actions,
just like playing an Action card, playing an Upgrade card, or flipping one of your characters to its
other mode. To use the tap ability, the character that has the ability must be untapped. Using
the ability causes the character to become tapped.
No. Using a tap ability isn’t the same as attacking.
No. It’s your choice. You don’t have to use a tap ability, even if you could.
No. You can use only one tap ability per turn.
Nope. One tap ability per turn.
No. For example, if a tap ability says you have to scrap a card from your hand with an orange
battle icon, and you don’t have one, you can’t use that tap ability.
Stratagems are played concurrently with the starting team for a game. This is required otherwise cards like Master Converter and Aerial Enhancements would not effect the starting team, leading Windsweeper to be sad when Blitzwing and Tracks don't count as Planes.
No. For example, if Private Pteraxadon’s Binary Edgewing Scythe upgrade mode removes the base defense from a defending Windblade, Combiner Hunter, it would not remove the +1 from the Camien Toughness stratagem.
You can play up to one stratagem for each different character, trait, or faction listed on the stratagem, as long as your starting team includes that character, trait, or faction. For example, if your starting team is all Autobots and includes Optimus Prime - Legendary Warrior, you can play both Heroic Spotlight and Duty & Honor.
Stratagems go on the battlefield. At the beginning of the game, as you reveal your team, you also reveal your stratagems.
Flipping a stratagem essentially turns its ability off. This happens on one-time abilities to remind you that you've already used them.
No. Stratagems are never put into your deck.
Yes. Each one counts as one of your ten battle cards in the sideboard.
Treat it like a regular star card.
