Rules Q&A

• Q: [ShE] Catastrophic Confrontation vs Aid Has Arrived: The explosion seems to hit created personalities hard because they have zero gold cost is that correct? Just checking if the personalities created by Aid have zero gold cost? Would the same reasoning apply to Ancestors and Pirates created by Kagako and Ichido Sensei? So if I use Confrontation to banish even a very small person in my army, it could potentially wipe all the created enemies?
  A: Any stat on a created card defaults as "0" if not explicitly stated, including GC. Though note, CC takes into account the total unit cost of all targets, so expensive attachments could afford such Personalities some protection.
  (Replying to a player: "I see some created cards do have a gold cost such as the yojimbos created by Tamori Tsushima. However Takumi's created yojimbos do not have a gold cost. But they do have "Yu: A target player loses 2 honor". If I banish them with CC then the Yu Trait does not trigger correct?") Banishing is not the same as destruction. Only destruction triggers "Yu".
