Hello everybody. Yes, my friend is trying to break Barracks.
Barracks http://imperialassembly.com/oracle/#cardid=706 Fortification You may attach Followers to this card as if it were a Personality, except it does not perform the attaching action, you ignore the Follower's Honor Requirement, and you pay only half its cost after all other cost modifications, rounded down.
Shogun's Advisors http://imperialassembly.com/oracle/#cardid=7073 Follower Political Limited: Bow this card and target a Personality: This Personality duels the target. Each Personality uses his Personal Honor as his duel stat. The winner's controller gains 3 Honor. Dishonor the loser.
Personal Champion http://imperialassembly.com/oracle/#cardid=5930 Follower Reaction: Any number of times per turn, after this Personality enters a duel, bow this card: Until the duel ends, this card is considered to be a 3C Personality and enters the duel instead.
Can Shogun's Advisors attached to Barracks issue a challenge then be replaced by Personal Champion?
Thank you!

No, because the challenge must be issued by a Personality.
