Buddy

== Introduction == 
Buddy (バディ) is a special ability that debut in CB26, and primarily owned by the Contract Spirits in the set. The effect name and the effect itself is a reference to the Buddy system in the show, Tiger & Bunny, and the system refers to how two heroes with superpowers work together as partners. 
In game, the ability allows two Spirits to onto the same Contract Spirit, one on the left and one on the right, functioning like an Advent version of Imagine Brave. 
Contract Spirits with this effect have the following text: 
You can one of each target on the left and right of this card. This pre-advent card turns into refreshed state, and won't exhaust. (Including the cards that stacked, these cards can't be braved/advented on/switched in places with non-target cards.)
"XXXX" and "YYYY" are specific names that are usually a part of the card name of the designated cards. 
Example: 
^ For Kaburagi T. Kotetsu & Barnaby Brooks Jr.'s case, you can "WILD TIGER"-named and "BARNABY BROOKS Jr."-named Spirit cards, one of each, onto the left and right of the Contract card. 
While having the benefit of allowing two different Spirits to advent onto the same card, there are also restrictions coming with it so that the system doesn't get abused such as disabling /Brave/further that doesn't contain the target names. You also can't advent the same Spirit on both sides unless the name of both cards contain both "XXXX" and "YYYY" in name. 
== Actual Procedure ==
(1) When the target cards are advented onto the Contract Spirit, you stack the card onto one of the two sides of the Contract card. (If two are advented at the same time, you stack the two on the two sides simultaneously) 
(2) When you advent onto a Contract card with Buddy, the Contract Spirit turns into refreshed state regardless of whether 
it is attacking or not, and would not become exhausted again as long as it remains to be a pre-advent card.
(3) When you declare an attack with a Spirit that Contract Advents on top a Contract Spirit with Buddy, only the Spirit on top is exhausted, and the Contract Spirit as a pre-advent card would remain refreshed. 
== Official Q & A ==
No.	Question 	Answer
1 	What does "Buddy" do? 	You can up to two designated Spirit cards onto a Spirit with Buddy, one on the left and one on the right, and the two Spirit cards that advent must include the names specified in the effect. The card with Buddy that has become a pre-advent card would always be in refreshed state. Also, concerning the pre-advent card with Buddy, and any Spirits that advent on top, you can't brave/advent/switch them in places with cards that don't include the names specified in the effect.
2 	Can you both a "WILD TIGER"-named card and a "BARNARBY BROOKS Jr."-named card onto a card with: ? 	Yes, you can. The two Spirits that on top are treated as two separate Spirits, while the card with Buddy would serve as a pre-advent card for both Spirits, and both Spirits can activate the effects of that card.
3 	Can you two "WILD TIGER"-named cards, which only hold one of the two names specified in the effect, onto a card with: ? 	No, you can't do so. You can only a "BARNARBY BROOKS Jr."-named card next to a "WILD TIGER"-named card that is during Contract Advent.
4 	You can only one "WILD TIGER & BARNABY BROOKS Jr.", which holds both of the names specified in the effect, onto a card with: ? 	No. Since a card that holds both of the names specified in the effect can fulfill the condition of Buddy with either part of the name, you can two of such cards onto the card with Buddy.
5 	While only one Cost 5 "WILD TIGER" is during on your Cost 3 "Kaburagi T. Kotetsu & Barnaby Brooks Jr., can you a "WILD TIGER & BARNABY BROOKS Jr." with an advent condition that specifies "Cost 5 or more" next to that "WILD TIGER"? 	No, you can't. When you would onto the side that is currently not being advented on, you could only reference the cost of the pre-advent card, "Kaburagi T. Kotetsu & Barnaby Brooks Jr.".
6 	If it's just one, can you advent a card without the specified card names onto a Spirit with Buddy that is currently not being advented on by any cards? 	No, you can't. Also, if there is any pre-advent card with Buddy under your Spirit, you can only brave/advent/switch that Spirit in places with cards that include the names specified in the Buddy effect.
7 	When you would onto a Spirit with Buddy that is currently not being advented on, do you stack the card perfectly on top of the Spirit like regular advents? 	No, you don't. Even if you are adventing the first card onto the Spirit, choose left or right of the Spirit to advent the card onto. If the Spirit with Buddy is in exhausted state, the advented Spirit would be in exhausted state, while the pre-advent card with Buddy alone is turned into refreshed state.
8 	When you would onto a Spirit with Buddy that is currently not being advented on, can you put additional cores on it? 	No, you can't. Like regular advents, the newly advented card would inherit the cores originally on the Spirit with Buddy (which becomes the pre-advent card now).
9 	If only one Spirit is during on a card with Buddy, when you would next to that Spirit, where do you put cores on it from? 	When you would onto a card with Buddy that is currently being on by another Spirit, you can put cores from your Reserve/Field onto the newly advented card, like what you do when you onto a card in Soul State.
10 	If only one Spirit is during on a card with Buddy, and only Soul Core is placed on it, can you deplete that Spirit to a card next to it? 	Yes, you can. The Spirit to be depleted and the Spirit to be advented are treated as separated Spirits despite being next to each other.
11 	If two Spirits are during on a card with Buddy, but one of the Spirits left the Field, can the pre-advent card with Buddy enter Soul State? 	No, it can't. It must remain to act as the pre-advent card of the remaining Spirit.
12 	If two Spirits are during on a card with Buddy, for effects written on the card that has the "once per turn" clause, can the two Spirits on the left and on the right activate the effect once per turn respectively? 	Yes, each of them can activate the effect once respectively.
13 	If two Spirits are during on a card with Buddy, for effects written on the card that has the "(Once per Turn: Same Name)" clause, can the two Spirits on the left and on the right activate the effect once per turn respectively? 	No, they can't. Effects with (Once per Turn: Same Name) can only be activated once by either one of them.
14 	Can you add pre-advent cards without the names specified in the Buddy effect via an effect to a Spirit with a pre-advent card with Buddy effect? 	Yes, you can. In that case, to show clearly which Spirit you are adding the pre-advent card to, put the newly added pre-advent card under the card with Buddy, and slide it to the side which the Spirit you are adding pre-advent cards to is on. (i.e. Left or Right)
15 	When you activate an effect that allows you to two Spirits that the same time, if both the advent condition of the card and the Buddy condition are met, can you two cards onto a Spirit with Buddy, or two Spirits that are have a pre-advent card with Buddy at the same time?	Yes, you can. When you do, for the card that advents onto a Spirit that is during , the cores are inherited; For the card that advents onto the card with Buddy that is currently in Soul State/pre-advent condition, you can put any number of cores onto it from your field/reserve; If you are adventing two cards at the same time onto a Spirit with Buddy, split the cores on the Spirit to the two newly advented cards. In such case, if there's only one core on that Spirit with Buddy, you can't two cards that the same time.
16 	When facedown cards are placed under a Spirit with Buddy that is not being advented on via effects like Poison Blade, if you onto that Spirit, what happens to the facedown cards? 	Move the cards underneath to the side that the Spirit onto to show that the card are added to that Spirit. When you later advent another Spirit next to that Spirit, the cards under would not move.
17 	While you only have one Spirit during on your card with Buddy, the opponent activates an effect: "Neither player can advent." In that case, if your Hand is unaffected by opposing effects, can you on your pre-advent card with Buddy? 	Yes, you can. Since pre-advent cards are only affected by effects that target pre-advent cards, just like cards in Soul State, they are unaffected by opposing "can't advent" effects.
