Medabots are highly advanced robots with endless possibilities of customising. The medabots are made up of 3 basic elements: The Tin-Pets, the medals and the parts. The Tin-Pet acts as a skeleton and will be the ones you give a name (in Medarot 1, After Medarot 2 you name the medal instead). The medal is the heart of the medabot and determine its "personality" and its "potential". Finally, the parts dictate the actions and the role that a medabot will have in combat the parts consist of a head, right and left arm and finally the legs.

The medal is the heart and soul of the medarot and determine its "personality" and its "Nature". Finally, we have the parts. the parts dictate the actions and the role that a medabot will can take during Robottles. the parts consist of a head, right and left arms and the legs.


There are Tin-Pet M(ale) and F(emale). When using a Male tin-pet, you will only be able to use Male parts and vice versa for Female Tin-Pets. You will know if a part is Female part if it has a heart next to your name in the "Parts" section of the "Info" menu.

In Medarot 1 it is possible to get up to 10 Tin-Pet, but you can only carry 9. The amount of M and the F Tin-Pets can vary depending of your choices during the game. 5 of the obtainable Tin-Pets are always Male and 2 are Female. The other 3 can be of the sex that you prefer. It should be noted that you will only find 7 Tin-Pets during the Main story and the rest can be obtained during the Post-game.
The proportion between the M and the F Tin-Pets can vary according to your choices during the game. 5 of the obtainable Tin-Pets are always Male and 2 are Female. The other 3 can be of the sex that
you want. We will be going over where to obtain which Tin-Pet later in this guide. It should be noted that you will only find 7 Tin-Pets during the Main story and the rest you will get in the Post-game.

On the other hand, there are certain medals that you won't get according to the decisions you make during your playthrough.
First we have the main medals of each version: the Kabuto and Kuwagata medals, these are obtained at the start of your journey depending on the version you have chosen to play. you will also need to choose between the Devil, Dragon, Ninja and Angel medals during the game.  
 
First we have the most obvious case being the Kabuto and Kuwagata medals,these will be given yo you according to which version you have chosen. you will also need to choose between the Devil, Dragon, Ninja and Angel medals. We will talk about this later in the guide.

The parameters are as followed:


'''Rank - Level:'''
* Level/Rank: This is the "age" of a medal and is increased by gaining experience defeating enemies in Robottles. Every time a medal goes up by 6 levels it’s rank is raised and sometimes modifies its appearance. In total the Rank goes up to rank 9, after that it receives an "A" on the top of the medal, this is the maximum a medal can reach in terms of level/rank. The higher it's Rank, the more the "Mobility" of the leg parts increase.

* Attribute: This shows the category of parts that are compatible with this medal. if a part is compatible an icon will appear next to the parts name when building your Medarot.


'''Attribute:'''
* Bonuses: This is the value that represents the increase in "Power" that a compaatible part receives if its "Attribute" matches that of the medal. This value is fixed for each medal.
It is the category or main function of the medal. This parameter must

If one or two of these are greater or lower then the other, a different nature is given to the medal. For example the Kuwagata medal has equal factors for both strike and berserk, so is given the attack nature

For example, if a "Chameleon" medal has Attack 30 but Defense 10 and
Special 0, its Nature will be Attack. If an "Alien" medal has Attack and
Special of 20, its Nature will be Special. And if a Jellyfish medal has 0 on
all its factors its Nature will be Attack as it corresponds to the Attribute

What is a Medarot?

Medarots are highly advanced robots with endless possibilities of customisation. A Medarot is made up of 3 basic components: The Tin-Pet, the Medal and the Parts. The Tin-Pet acts as a skeleton and will be the one you give a name (in Medarot 1, starting from Medarot 2 you name the medal instead). The medal is the heart and soul of the medarot and determine its "personality" and its "Nature". Finally, we have the parts. the parts dictate the actions and the role that a medabot will can take during Robottles. the parts consist of a head, right and left arms and the legs.

There are Male and Female Tin-Pets. When using a Male tin-pet, you will only be able to use Male parts and vice versa for Female Tin-Pets. You will know if a part is Female part if it has a heart next to the name of said in the "Parts" section of the "Info" menu.

In Medarot 1 it is possible to get up to 10 Tin-Pet, but you can only carry 9. The amount of M and the F Tin-Pets can vary depending of your choices during the game. 5 of the obtainable Tin-Pets are always Male and 2 are Female. The other 3 can be of the sex that you prefer. It should be noted that you will only find 7 Tin-Pets during the Main story and the rest can be obtained during the Post-game.

Lastly, it is not possible to rename your Tin-Pets so be careful with whatever name you choose to give them.


Medals

There are 28 medals in total, 14 of can be obtained during the events of the main story and postgame events. The other 14 medals are recieved by interacting with a player who has the opposite version.

First we have the main medals of each version: the Kabuto and Kuwagata medals, these are obtained at the start of your journey depending on the version you have chosen to play. you will also need to choose between the Devil, Dragon, Ninja and Angel medals during the game.

The rest of the medals can only be obtained by “transforming” them in link battles against another player. But for these a mechanic is used that consists of "stealing" a medal and having it transform into another according to the version of the game. The medals that make up this group are:

  • Tortoise: You transform the Unicorn medal by battling the KBT version.
  • Snake: You transform the Unicorn medal by battling the KWG version.
  • Jellyfish: You transform the Ghost medal by battling the KBT version.
  • Queen: You transform the Ghost medal by battling the KWG version.
  • Bear: You transform the Knight medal by battling the KBT version.
  • Kraken: You transform the Knight medal by battling the KWG version.
  • Spider: You transform the Mermaid medal by battling the KBT version.
  • Phoenix: You transform the Mermaid medal by battling the KWG version.


Medal Parameters

All medals have various parameters that allow for some degree of customization and open the possibility to adopt many styles of combat.

The parameters are as followed:

  • Level/Rank: This is the "age" of a medal and is increased by gaining experience defeating enemies in Robottles. Every time a medal goes up by 6 levels it’s rank is raised and sometimes modifies its appearance. In total the Rank goes up to rank 9, after that it receives an "A" on the top of the medal, this is the maximum a medal can reach in terms of level/rank. The higher it's Rank, the more the "Mobility" of the leg parts increase.
  • Attribute: This shows the category of parts that are compatible with this medal. if a part is compatible an icon will appear next to the parts name when building your Medarot.
  • Bonuses: This is the value that represents the increase in "Power" that a compaatible part receives if its "Attribute" matches that of the medal. This value is fixed for each medal.
  • Skill: This is the specific skill categories that a medal has. Using parts repeatedly will increase that skills stats according to the part that is used. For example using a berserk type skill will increase the medals berserk stat.


Some of these will increase faster then others however, so keep this in mind.


The various skills that a medal can have are listed below:

  • Strike: Simple physical attack that targets the nearest enemy. You can not block until next command is received.
  • Berserker: Powerful physical attack that targets the closest enemy and causes a chain reaction when hit. This means that if a part is destroyed by damage from a berser skill, the remaining damage will chain onto another part and cause damage to that part. This can continue on untill no damage is left to give or when the opponents Medarot ceases function. The "Power" and "Hit" increase according to the "Speed" of the Medarots equipped legs. You can not block or dodge until the next command.
  • Shoot: Shot that fixes to a target. There is no penalty when using this skill.
  • Snipe: Shot that sets target when given the command. The "Power" is increases by the "Speed" of the legs. It cannot dodge until receiving the next command.
  • Support: Increases allies' abilities and interrupts the opponent.
  • Protect: Protect teammates and set traps.
  • Heal: Heals, revives parts and removes negative statuses.
  • Other: Skills related to the transformation of parts.


A Medals Nature

This is the personality of the medal and is divided into 3 factors: Attack, Defense and Special and varies according to each medal. each medal has a base Nature that is given when all three of these factors are equal. If one or two of these are greater or lower then the other, a different nature is given to the medal. For example the Kuwagata medal has equal factors for both strike and berserk, so is given the attack nature

The list of initial Natures for each medal:

# Icon Medal name Japanese Attribute Nature
A Kuwagata クワガタ Melee Attack
B Kabuto カブト Shooting Attack
C Tortoise トータス Optical Attack
D Jellyfish クラゲ Gunpowder Attack
E Bear クマ Gravity Attack
F Spider クモ Set-up Defense
G Snake ヘ・ビー Flux Attack
H Queen クイーン Stop Attack
I Kraken クラーケン Bind Attack
J Phoenix フェニックス Burn Attack
K Unicorn ユニコーン Cancel Special
L Ghost ゴースト Negate Special
M Knight ナイト Defense Defense
N Mermaid マーメイド Recovery Special
O Penguin ペンギン Revival Special
P Bat コウモリ Anti-Air Defense
Q Kappa カッパ Anti-Sea Defense
R Wolf オオカミ Scan Defense
S Chameleon カメレオン Conceal Defense
T Rabbit ウサギ Time Special
U Monkey サル Uses Defense
V Devil デビル Sacrifice Attack
W Angel エンジェル Love Defense
X Dragon ドラゴン Change Special
Y Ninja しのび Sneak Special
Z Alien エイリアン Transform Defense
AB Cat ネコ Capricious Special
_ ? ? None Special


Now, knowing the Nature of a medal is very important because the dominant factor activates a special ability under certain conditions in a Robottle:

  • If the Attack stat is higher: Increases the team's "Hit" as long as they use skills of the associated "Attribute".
  • If the Defense stat dominates: Aim at targets with less "Armor" or with fewer parts active.
  • If the Special stat is higher: Varies depending on the situation. If allies are wounded, increases the amount of healing, slightly increases the "Hit" of skills used or depending on the duration of a Robottle can it increase the “Hit” stat of the team even more.


On the other hand, the values of the Skills on a given medal, and therefore the Nature of the medal itself can be modified. To modify the skill values of a medal, parts must be equipped with the specific skill that you wish to increase or decrease. values are changed when you win a robattle according to these few rules:

  • If the 4 parts of a medabot are from Skill that share the same type, then the value of that skill on the medal is increases by 1.
  • If there is a Skill that is not represented in an equipped part, then that value of that skill on the medal is reduced by 1.
  • If the above rules are not met, nothing happens.


For example, if a medabot has "Optical" Attribute parts equipped, "Shooting", "Burn" and "Flux", at the end of the robot the Attack factor will increase by 1 and the Defense and Special factors will decrease by 1.

if you then meet the required amount of skill values to increase or decrease one (or more) of the three factors (Attack, Defense and Special), then the nature of that medal will change.


Medaparts and their parameters

There are 4 types of parts: Head, Right Arm, Left Arm and Legs. Only the arms and head can perform Actions, but the legs are important for mobility, because when they are destroyed the medabot speed will decrease and you will have a hard time dodging.

The Medabot models are made up of a set of 4 different parts and are identifies with a proper name and a code of three letters followed by a number (LLL-#). However, each part also has a particular name and It will be the one you will see the most during the game.

The parts also have a code that would be the same as the model but adding a number at the end and that changes depending on the type of part: -1 for the head, -2 for the right arm, -3 for the left and -4 for the legs.

At the playable level, each part has certain numerical parameters and categories that determine their performance in combat. Some of these parameters work the same in several types of parts and others are exclusive.


These are the different perameters that a Part can have:

  • Sex: Determines if the part can be equipped on a Tin-Pet F or M. If it has a heart next to the name in the "Parts" window under "Info" if it is considered a F part
  • Attribute: General category of all parts. It is located just below part name in the details window. If it matches the Attribute of the medal it will have an increase of "Power" equal to the "Bonus" of the medal.
  • Skill: Action category of the head and arm parts. It's found below the "Attribute" on the details screen. The "Skill" of the part must match a high value of the medal's "Skill" so it can receive an increase of "Hit".
  • Armor: They are the "Health Points" of all parts. If it is reduced to 0 in combat the part will be disabled. This stat is automatically refilled after each Robattle.
  • Hit: Value only available in the head and arms. This stat determines the success rate. It also slightly increases damage and chance to cause a negative status. This value can be increased and be actively and passively reduced.
  • ¨Power: Magnitude of a part's effect whether offensive or defensive. Also determines the magnitude of a negative status. It represents the minimum amount of damage a part can cause in battle.
  • Uses: Exclusive to head parts. It's the ammunition that this part has available in a fight. If it reaches 0 the action will fail if used during the Robattle. It refills after each fight.
  • Charge: Exclusive to the arms. It is the time it takes for a medabot to use an action after receiving the command. The larger the amount, the longer it will take to perform the action.
  • Cooldown: Exclusive to the arms. It is the time it takes for a medabot to return to the starting line after executing an order. The higher this stat is, the more time it will take.
  • Speed: Exclusive to the legs. It slightly increases "Charge" and "Cooldown" speed. Also increases the "Power" of actions with the "Berserk" and "Snipe" skills.
  • Mobility: Exclusive to the legs. Determines the "Evasion Rate" and also slightly improves the "Hit" of actions with the "Berserk" skill.
  • Fight: Exclusive to the legs. Represents a slight increase the "Hit" stat for "Strike" and "Berserk" skills. If this value is "0" the "Defend" actions will always fail.
  • Shoot: Exclusive to the legs. Slightly increases the "Hit" Stat of "Shoot" and "Snipe" skills.
  • Scan: Exclusive to the legs. A "Hit" bonus is applied to "Strike", "Berserk", "Shoot" and "Snipe" skill when using the “Scan” skill.
  • Conceal: Exclusive hidden value to the legs. A bonus applies to "Conceal" skills or any skills related to planting traps.


Leg Type

Last but not least, I wanted to talk a bit about the Leg parts type. there are 7 types in total and they all vastly differ in performance depending on the terrain a Robottle takes place. The speed of a Medabot will increase or decrease depending if you have a Robottle on a terrain that the equiped legs excell at or underperform.

The equiped leg type will also change the Medarot's battle sprite and provides other specific bonusses. The different type of legs:

  • Flying: Advantage in "Desert" terrains. Pieces with high "Mobility" and "Speed" but take extra damage from Actions with "Anti-Air" attribute.
  • Hover: Unaffected by Terrain and has Balanced stats.
  • Multi-leg: Advantage in "Mountain" Terrain. Improves melee attacks.
  • Bipedal: Advantage in "Woods" Terrain. Balanced performance.
  • Wheeled: Advantage in "City" Terrain. Improve actions with "Berserk" and "Snipe" Skills.
  • Tank: Has high armor but is very slow on any terrain.
  • Aquatic: Advantage in "Beach" Terrain. Has high "Mobility" and "Speed" but take extra damage from Actions with the "Anti-Sea" attribute.

This covers most of the important elements of a medabot. hopefully this has been helpfull in deciding how to build your own powerfull medabot.
