Contract Field

Contract Field (), is a keyword introduced in SD68, being one of the main gimmicks of Contract Grandwalker Nexuses. 
The general form is as follows:
* [LV2] (Timing)(Additional Effects)
As the name and effect implies, Contract Field is a remake of Grand Field, corresponding to the Contract Grandwalker Nexuses this time. 
Much like Grand Field, it is a lasting passive effect that works like normal nexuses as a support to the family the Grandwalker Nexus supports. However, unlike Grand Field which is often a LV2 effect that requires a specific number of cores on the Grandwalker Nexuses to unlock the effect, or a LV1 effect that requirees sending cores from the Grandwalker Nexus to the Void, Contract Field, despite being a LV2 effect mostly, is unlocked by achieving a certain number of counters. 
When compared to effects that remove cores on Grandwalker Nexuses, there are very few effects that reduce opponents' counters. This means that as long as the player has reached a certain number of counters, Contract Field would be active regardless of whether the Contract Grandwalker Nexus is just deployed the same turn. As one may have already noticed by this point, it synergizes very well with another keyword, Revive, which allows you to re-deploy destroyed Grandwalker Nexuses from Soul State. By having Contract Field tied to counters instead of cores on the Grandwalker Nexus, it makes Contract Field an immediately accessible effect once the Grandwalker Nexus is revived, and doesn't require further preparations (Grand Field that requires a number of cores on Grandwalker Nexuses doesn't work as cores on a Grandwalker Nexus will be sent to the Void once they are destroyed). 
With the new design, Contract Field is now more an outcome obtained by using the Contract Skills frequently to add counters, and does not clash with the use of cores on Grandwalker Nexuses via Unleash or any other effect that sends cores from own Grandwalker Nexuses to the Void. 
Unlike the relationship between Neo-Core Charge and Core Charge, it is to note that Contract Field is a brand-new effect, which is NOT counted as a variant of Grand Field. Hence, effects that target Grand Field don't work on Contract Field.
