Medal
Medals are post-match recognition awards introduced in Splatoon 3 which are used as a metric for a players performance in a round relative to their team. The player gains medals at the end of each match for meeting specific conditions in a round. The order medals are displayed is based on a hierarchy. Up to 3 medals are awarded per game. If the player qualifies for more than three, only the top three are awarded. For example, if the player qualifies for #1 Popular Target, #1 Splat Assister, #1 Turf Inker and #1 Super Jump Spot, the medals earned will be from top to bottom: #1 Turf Inker, #1 Popular Target, and #1 Super Jump Spot.
Earning medals has no apparent gameplay effect in Turf War and Anarchy Battle (Open) beyond summarizing a players contribution, but they have an additional effect in Anarchy Battles (Series). At the end of a series, the player will receive 1p for every silver medal and 5p for every gold medal earned in that series.
Possible Medals
Medals come in two rarities: gold and silver. Gold medals are usually awarded for completing harder tasks and earn more points in Anarchy Battles (Series), while silver medals usually do not require as much skill to obtain. Players are only judged against their teammates, not their opponents. If there is a tie, for example if two people both have the same amount of splats, they could both qualify for #1 Enemy Splatter. Gold medals always have higher priority to be earned than silver medals if both conditions are met.
