Am I using Lightbringer correctly? The way it reads to me it basically makes you immune to Military Challenges in a Joust game. If your opponent wins then you just kneel Lightbringer and no one dies.

Yes, if your opponent has a claim of 1, when he wins a military challenge, you can choose as the claim the character with Lightbringer on and use the capacity of the attachment to save him from death.

Each House has one or more cards like Lightbringer that allow them to soak the military claim. So this card is not unbalanced (and is by far not the best one that does this).

The drawbacks of Lightbringer are:

- 2 gold cost

- Unique

- Attachment, can be discarded

- Work only once per turn, except if you win a challenge after using it first

- Do not protect from burn

So it is a good card but not a broken one.

And just to be a bit exacting, "immune" is probably the wrong word here since immunity is a very specific thing in this game. The attachment might mitigate the impact of a 1-claim military challenge, but you cannot ignore the rest of the challenge (unopposed, Renown, Responses, etc.). So yeah, you can repeatedly laugh off military claim in a Joust game, but that doesn't mean you won't care about losing military challenges.
