Medal
Overview
Medals are items that can be turned in for other resources. The primary use of medals is for obtaining Blueprints.
This is not to be confused with the First Class Medal that is obtained from clearing events on Hard Mode.
How to Obtain
Extra Operations
This is the primary method of obtaining medals. Clearing an Extra Operation once per month will reward you with 1 medal. You can obtain a maximum of 6 medals per month through this method.
Eligible Extra Operations are:
It is important to note that you must clear the extra operation before 23h59 JST on the last day of the month. If you are halfway through a sortie and only kill the boss after this time, you will receive no medal.
