Here's a quick walkthrough, tips, and strategy guide for the Android and iOS RPG mobile game Medal Masters. Follow the in-game tutorial, learn the battle features, and how to manage your team.
How to Reset the Game?
- In case you want to reset after your first test run through the game, here's how:
- Go to [Others] > [Settings] > Look for the [Log Out] option. Reset the game and use a new account or a guest account.
- If you want to play using your existing account, the only way for now is to choosen another server.
Claim your First Golden Hero
- [Achievements] Link Your Account if you are using a Guest Account, doing so will reward you a Hero Gacha Ticket. It's under [Others] > [Settings] > [Link Account] option.
- Claim the ticket from your inbox to get a nice 4*/5* hero.
Manage Team
- Try to squeeze in 3 Heroes including your new 4*/5* hero, any heroes will do. Why? because you still need to max out all heroes that you have regardless of their Rarity, to receive more free Gems from the [Achievements] menu > [Hero Collection] tab.
- Use or keep upgrading your 1st 3*/6* hero, also a useful hero early game once you can fit him/her in your team.
- At Summoner Lvl 5, the 4th team slot will be unlocked.
Gem Rewards for Maxing Heroes
- Start with the heroes that are easy to max out, then continue and switch with the others. Note that this reward system will only trigger once per Hero, duplicates doesn't count so feel free to dismiss them.
Dismissing Heroes
- For starters, dismiss duplicate heroes and other 1* Heroes that are already maxed. If you are running out of space, dismiss heroes that are easy to farm from normal battles.
- Statue Heroes: Dismiss them too to get lots of materials and Coins.
Hero Pieces
- Hero Pieces earned through dismissing heroes can be used to increase the Skill Lvl of Heroes. Unlocked from the Barracks at Lvl 11.

Follow Your Main Quests

Best Ways to Use Gems

- Gems can also be used to buy certain items that you might need from the Black Market, preferably around mid-game, and if you have extra Gems to use.
- Only applies to your team if the Helper is your friend. Send friend requests to add them, and to earn more Friendship Points.

Blitz and Combos

- Combos are when you succeed at Blitz several times in a row. 200% of skill damage based on the current skill level will be applied every 5 combos, and the combos reset.
Mana/MP Globe

- A protection effect will be applied for those under Lv.10.
- Preferably, choose an opponent with lesser Power than your team.
- *Honestly, I'm not really a big fun of the Pillage Wars system, so many balancing issues...but it's good that they are working on this.
- Pillage War now expends stamina, thus Pillage War Stamina feature is added.

- After being pillaged 3 times consecutively, 24 hours of protection
- After being pillaged more than 5 times consecutively, the protection will stay on indefinitely.
