Season 6 of the Battle Pass for Parallel, the trading card game, is called Unlikely Allies and starts on Nov. 5 at 15:00 UTC. It arrives with Patch 1.2.0, a soft reset of the ranked ladder, a new playable card, two cosmetic card backs and two new titles.
Ladder reset and Patch 1.2.0
The ladder gets a soft reset when the season opens. Players still have to play five placement matches before they receive a rank.
Version 1.2.0 of the TCG launches with Season 6. The developers say it brings many updates to the Tutorial, fixes for card bugs they call “sneaky”, and UI/UX cleanups.
New card: Fireteam Lead Arch
The playable addition this season is Fireteam Lead Arch, a rare Augencore unit that costs 5. It has the Armed keyword, so its damage resolves against the opponent first. It also has a Muster ability that triggers again when it attacks: deal 3 damage to two random enemies.
Card backs and titles
The season’s first card back is also called Unlikely Allies. Its lore covers the secret alliance between Jahn, Chief Engineer, and the Earthen people. For centuries the rumor was that Jahn gave the Earthen the whole Citrine Rose ship. The lore says Jahn only gave the engine, and gave it to the people who had been left behind during the cataclysm. Once the alliance was made, the engine became a symbol of life on Earth, and Jahn kept working for peace between the two factions and the planet they both want to live on.
The second card back is T.A.L.I. Raider. T.A.L.I. stands for Tactical Assault Light Infantry, an Augencore unit that wears an exosuit fitted with a Personal SMR. Even with “Light Infantry” in the name, the suit is built from smaller heavy plates, which let the wearer move freely while keeping its defensive strength.
There are two new titles. Silver Flame unlocks at Level 2 of the Premium Battle Pass. Mechlord unlocks at Level 50 of the Base Battle Pass.
Lore series and Monthly Melee
The developers said Part 6 of Emergence would be published the day after the season announcement. It is the final part of the third Battle Pass lore series and tells the origin story of the Augencore, their city-sized ship CAINE-1 and two of their Paragons. Part 5 covered the Shroud.
The fourth Monthly Melee tournament is scheduled for 11/11. Any player who finished in the Top 100 of the previous season’s leaderboard can register. Prizes include $PRIME, Glints and other rewards. Full details had not been finalized when the season was announced and are due to appear on the game’s social channels and Discord.
