Picture this: three tiny bugs waddling through a giant world, armed with nothing but leaves and courage. That's Bug Fables in a nutshell! But here's the juicy secret - those adorable adventurers become absolute powerhouses thanks to Medals, the game's genius customization system. These pocket-sized power-ups turn your ragtag crew from 'mildly threatening' to 'kingdom-shaking legends' faster than you can say 'crystal berry'. And the best part? In 2025, players are still discovering wild new medal combos that make even veteran explorers go 'Holy aphids!'
🐞 Medal Types: Your Pocket-Sized Power Menu
Think of medals as your bugs' personal stylists - but instead of fancy hats, they're handing out combat superpowers! Here's the lowdown on the fab five categories:
| Medal Type | What It Does | Point Cost Range | Personality Quirk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resistance | Blocks nasty status effects like poison/frozen | 1-4 | The paranoid bodyguard |
| Stat | Boosts HP/attack/defense for individuals or team | 0-6 | The gym bro who won't stop flexing |
| Enhancement | Alters ability properties (adds poison, debuffs, etc) | 2-6 | The mad scientist |
| Ability | Grants completely new skills | 3-6 | The flashy show-off |
| Gameplay | Changes overworld mechanics & battle rules | 1-5 | The rule-breaking anarchist |
That sneaky Medal Points (MP) system though? It's the ultimate buzzkill! You only get 3 MP per rank-up, forcing tough choices like "Should I make Kabbu hit harder or teach Vi to literally shoot lightning?" First world bug problems!
