What happens if you give Robert deadly and he attacks alone?

You are still only attacking one person. So the person you are attacking would have to kill a defending character. He wouldn't have to kill one he controls.

And what if he gets joust? Only one character will be able defend right? But which opponent will be first to declare defenders?

Staton

Joust is worded as follows, "While a character with the joust keyword is attacking alone, the defending opponent cannot declare more than 1 character as a defender." We see here that Joust only limits the defending opponent. Even though the other players are able to declare defenders, there is still only one defending player and one attacking player. So Joust doesn't affect his ability.

Well it does still limit the actual defending player to only 1 character right? Just doesn't stop the other players from adding one of their own.

Does melee stack If I were to give him champions favor or something Ike that?

Sadly, nope, can only have 1 keyword at a time

It's not that sad. Melee stacking on Robert would be ridiculous.

And if you play Direct Assault (KotStorm) on him do you get to steal one location from each player?

Since both are "claim replacement" effects the answer is no. When you attack with Bob, the first part initiates and all opponents get to declare their defenders. Then if you still win, he replaces normal claim to the new effect. If you had played the event, then his replacement effect would be replaced with the effect of the event - which would negate the text that "each opponent must satisfy the claim."

if they chose not to declare a defender than would they still have to make the claim?

Adding a defender or not makes no difference on the last sentence of the ability. " If you win the challenge, instead of the normal claim effects, each opponent must satisfy the claim effect of the challenge". Regardless of defenders, each opponent pays claim. This guy works great with Compelled by the Crown (CtB)

Hi, had a situation today where an opponent was attack with Bob against another opponent and won. I understand I would need to satisfy the claim effect if the challenge but if I have loyalty money can buy then would his claim be lowered against me or am I fulfilling the other opponents claim value.

I'm pretty sure that since you're not being attacked, you just put in a defending character for the defender, you don't lower the claim.

I understand how this card works, I am more querying how the plot card Loyalty Money Can Buy interacts which the claim replacement. Bob's text reads: instead of the normal claim effects, each opponent must satisfy the claim effect of the challenge.

So in this situation Bara was attacking GJ. I am Targ and put in no defender for the challenge as I have Loyalty Money Can Buy as my plot. GJ looses the challenge and I would also have to satisfy the claim.

I was of the opinion that because I have Loyalty, his claim against me was 0, but Bara argued that because it is instead of the normal claim effects I still had to move one power.

Smiffsta

Ah I've sussed it. Bara was right, but for the wrong reason.

Loyalty Money Can Buy states The Claim on each opponents revealed plot cards is reduced by 1 when attacking you.

Since he wasn't attacking me, my plot card doesn't have any affect.
