Medals

Medals are collectible items in Bug Fables that provide stat boosts, special abilities, bonuses, and new Skills. Medals use a certain amount of MP when equipped, and can be freely equipped and unequipped while out of battle. Each Medal grants a unique effect to a single party member or the entire party.

There are 80 different types of Medals and 107 to collect in total. Medals are acquired by completing Quests, by purchasing them from merchants, and by finding them at various locations in the world. Medals received from Artis as Hard Mode rewards for defeating Bosses will be available for purchase at the Caravan if their corresponding Bosses were defeated in Normal Mode.

MP

MP is required to equip most Medals. Medals may cost anywhere from 0 to 8 MP to equip. If the "RUIGEE" Menu Code is active, all Medals with an MP cost higher than 1 MP will cost only 1 MP.

Tips

• You can force favourite one to trigger by placing it on Kabbu and having him taunt. However this tactic must be used with caution; favourite one can only trigger once per turn while this could make him a target of multiple enemies. Coupled with the medals defence reduction, this can quickly cause him to faint if not careful.
• The negative effect of "Strong Start" can be negated by either having that character use a non-damaging move, item, or having them relay to another character.
• While a character with "Berserker" can't make use of regular skills, they can still make use team skills, provided it is a different party member who activates the skill. The skill will still benefit from the attack increase.
