The skill activates when you crit so it happens irregardless of the main character evading.

All units except for each player's main character is moved to the back row at the start of a player's turn so long as there is a face-up orb. So at the start of the enemy's turn, all of your front row units move to the back and all of the enemy's front row units move to the back (except the main characters of course). You are right in that it is required (I actually didn't even notice it until I saw this question).

Just works if you happen to have a card that can't be untapped at the beginning phase.

A flipped over bond is treated as a null bond that is it has no traits. So functionally you should consider it as not having the same name as your lord.

Four new cipher mascots from the latest Cipher Frontier.

"『変幻自在 チェイニー』の『変身』で『創られし命 リムステラ』のコピーになった場合、『チェイニー』の性別はどうなりますか？ 性別のないユニットになります。" That is from the Cipher FAQ. It says "If Xane has copied Limstella with "imitate" what would Xane's gender become? Xane would become a unit with no gender." So I would interpret it as both Xane loses the skill imitate for the turn after having done so and that if somehow you could activate it twice you couldn't have two different sets of affinities.

You should receive 2-3 copies of each N, 1-2 copies of each HN, 11 unique R, and 4 unique SR in a box. In addition, you will get either 1 R+ or 1 SR+. So the guarantee of getting all R between two boxes isn't there, and I don't want to run the stats on how likely it is to get all the R's from a set in two boxes, but I will say only missing 4 SR cards after 2 boxes should have odds slightly better than 14%. By the way, the odds of getting all 12 SRs in 3 boxes is about 0.03%. My calculations did not include the possibility of SR+ just because it made them easier.

Purple skills are active at all times so that would include in the support zone, in your hand, in your deck, in the bonds and in the retreat zone. So yes the support fails if Lucina is supported by Marth. The support also fails if Marth is supported by a Lucina with that skill. You can likewise crit and evade with these cards.

Yes that's exactly correct. It's worth keeping in mind that to untap Leanne at the beginning of your turn you will have to do something that requires you to tap her. Of course she is deployed tapped, but for turns after that first turn you will have to move her or use an effect that allows you to tap one of your units.

1) Yes. I wrote a longer explanation below. At least in the Japanese comprehensive rules there is no clause saying you can't crit except for when your unit's current power is 0. I'd have to read more thoroughly to know if this 0 is before or after counting supports. It just says after supports the attacking player can crit with two subclauses. One addresses the procedure for criting and the other is that previously mentioned 0 thing. TLDR; Yes. 2) You don't need a face down bond to play a colorless card. 3) If you have no other allies than yes you do destroy Ike himself. That said you would only destroy him once. If you only have that Ike and your MC you can chose to destroy your MC instead of Ike. I'm mildly confused about the bracketed part of your question, but if you happen to be asking about if you can select an ally that cannot be destroyed by the effect of a skill as one of the units you must select with that Ike than yes you can. 4) Yes. I wrote a longer explanation below. If you play for example Ayra. She is 40 power the turn you play her. Assuming she becomes tapped for any reason than at the start of your next turn when she untaps she gains +20. As Ayra gains +20 whenever she is untapped for the turn she'd also gain an additionally +20 if you untapped her with a skill. I'm basing this off of the bit in the comprehensive rules that mentions the untap step in the beginning phase. "The active player untaps all of their tapped cards. Check and activate automatic skills." (Somewhat heavily paraphrased it actually has a term saying like "Run Timing Check" which is described by about 4 pages of processes one of which is activate any auto skills.) Sorry if my writing was at all confusing.
