The documented 1v1 format
AIDesolation's public Gameplay documentation describes players challenging each other in one-on-one battles. The objective is to defeat the opposing team's deck and win across multiple rounds. The guide emphasizes team composition, a balanced deck and formation decisions that can change from turn to turn.
That makes the central question less about a single opening move and more about how your lineup and formation respond as a duel develops. The documentation mentions strategic adaptation, but it does not provide a complete ruleset, turn order or card statistics on the page we reviewed.
A four-part way to read the format
- Choose a team. The docs say teams are built from characters associated with five named factions.
- Build a balanced deck. The public page uses this phrase but does not publish a definitive deck list or balance formula.
- Adapt formation. The documented description says players adjust their formation strategy each turn in response to the opponent.
- Plan across rounds. The match is described as a multi-round duel, so the stated goal is to remain effective beyond one exchange.
What is confirmed—and what is not
The one-on-one format, faction names, deck-building emphasis, turn-by-turn formation adaptation and multi-round battles are all stated in the public gameplay page. Exact rules, card values, abilities, matchmaking, platforms and current release availability are not established by that description. Treat detailed tactics as community analysis until a current rulebook or playable build confirms them.
