Card Types

Parallel Cards are beautifully designed and include a variety of components. This page is meant to define and demystify them.

Card Breakdown

Every Parallel Card is created with the same basic elements. The top part of the card is the art, while the bottom includes an information bar. We’ll discuss the different bar colors, rarities, and edition sizes in the next section. Here are the seven elements that make up the info bar:

Card Trees

These Card Trees explain the relationship between each class and rarity, so that you can understand how they are organized. This organization determines the color of the Card Info Bar and QR.

First Edition cards also known as FE cards are divided into four rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Legendary.

Special Edition cards also known as SE cards are divided into four rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Legendary.

Perfect Loop cards also known as PL cards are divided into four rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Legendary.

Card Backs, Assets, Art Cards, and Masterpieces are consolidated into one rarity: Prime.

Echoes

Echoes are a new edition of digital collectable card created by replicating an original digital asset card through the Replication System. They have higher edition sizes than their parent card and can also have slight cosmetic differences.

For more information you can see the Echoes page.

Apparitions

The purpose of Apparitions is to make playing the Parallel TCG extremely accessible. They are non-tradeable broadly affordable versions of their corresponding digital collectible parent card. Apparitions will be acquirable through apparition packs. Unwanted/duplicate apparitions will be able to be sliced in exchange for Cartel Credits. These credits may then be used to broker with the Echelon Cartel in exchange for specific apparitions you’re looking for.
