Player questions about this card

Can you win by conquest if you leave a battlefield after scoring it, and can you score/conquer the same battlefield multiple times in one turn?
If my unit is possessed by Hostile Takeover and has equipment attached, can I reattach that equipment to another unit?
In a 2v2 game, if my partner's unit controls a battlefield at the start of my turn, and I flash their unit away and move my unit onto the battlefield, do I score conquest?
When you take control of a unit with Deflect using Hostile Takeover, do you still have to pay the Deflect cost when targeting it with your own abilities (like Deathgrip)?
Can you react to a Temporary unit dying at the start of the beginning phase by playing another Temporary unit (like Sprite Call), and will the new unit survive?
Can you score your 8th point by using Ride the Wind to move to a second battlefield on your opponent's turn if you already control one battlefield and have 7 points?
If a unit with Temporary is saved by Zhonyas during an opponent's turn, does it still die at the start of my next turn?

Does 'Chosen Champion' refer only to the specific card separated at the start of the game, or does it refer to all copies of that card played throughout the game?

Will a unit with both Skyfall and Trinity equipped score an additional point on conquest?

If my only unit on Battlefield A is charmed to Battlefield B during my opponent's turn, and I use Ride the Wind to move it back to the now-empty Battlefield A, do I score a conquer point from Battlefield A?

What exactly is a round cycle, and if a player forgets to draw at the start of their turn, can they draw on their next turn?

Can you score the 8th point by conquering only one battlefield when both battlefields are empty?

Does Thousand-Tailed Watcher's ability start a chain and can it be responded to with reactions?

If I move Sett into a battlefield to start a showdown, then during the showdown I play Zenith Blade to move Leona (Determined) to that battlefield, does Leona's 'When I attack' trigger activate, or did she need to be present when the showdown started?

If an opponent conquers a battlefield on their turn, then on my turn I charm their unit to my battlefield, and they respond with Ride the Wind to move it back to their original battlefield, do they conquer and score that battlefield again?

If I have a sprite that dies at the start of my turn due to Temporary, does Zhonya's Hourglass proc and save that sprite? If so, will the sprite still have the keyword Temporary?
