**Level 1** (レベル1, *Reberu Wan*), often abbreviated as **LV1**, is the super deformed default form of the Ex-Aid Riders, which is activated by inserting their personal Rider Gashat into the Gamer Driver. This form is used to battle a Bugster-infected human (specifically Bugster Unions) and is the only way to separate the monster from the host. When becoming Level 2, a Rider's Level 1 faceplate becomes their back armor. Riders can revert to Level 1 by pushing the lever on the Gamer Driver back into its default position, which reforms and re-assembles the Level 1 armor back onto the Rider; however, this doesn't happen if another Gashat has been activated, letting the Rider use it to take a higher Level.

## Notes

* In being standard pre-forms for all Riders of a series that are bulky and less agile than the slimmer "main" forms they become, they are similar to Masked Forms from *Kamen Rider Kabuto*.
	+ Like the Zecter's Put On function, pushing the lever on the belt that triggers the main form back into its default position will revert the Rider.
* The faceplates of Level 1 forms are attached directly onto the torso armor, meaning that the user is physically incapable of looking in a direction unless they turn their entire bodies to face it.
* Uniquely among single-identity Riders, Level 1 forms have different suit actors than the same Rider's Level 2 form.
* The Ex-Aid Level 1 designs may be a reference to the Metal Hero show Kabutack. Both are bulky and both share chibi forms that upgrade to superior forms (Level 2 and Ready Form respectively).
* Level 1 forms are shown capable of performing Critical Strikes by moving the Gashat to the Kimewaza Slot Holder; how the equipment knows to distinguish this removal from removal to cancel a transformation is unclear, as cancelling normally happens sooner than a Gashat could be transferred. A similar issue exists with the onscreen portrayal of Ex-Aid's Level X/XX forms versus the toy release.
