Choose a planeswalker below and duel against the other one, using a pre-set deck. Nodes have no charges and are untimed.

Only the first objective (Win the Fight) is initially unlocked and available on each node. Completing the first objective unlocks the second objective, and completing the second objective unlocks the third objective.

Winning all three objectives for a planeswalker is required in order to join their side in the Duel and Final Duel phases.
