How to unlock the Medal Not in the Affairs of Wizards achievement in Gems of War - Definitive Guide

You can craft badges/medals by collecting tokens after beating a mythic boss fight in explore mode. There are 6 different tokens and if you collect 3 of the same, they transform to a badge that you can equip in one of the 3 slots you see in the diamond shaped slots above the main interface. All of the badge/medal effects can stack and this will be pretty handy in other events or delves, but for the achievement we only have to equip a single badge anyway.

To be able to fight against a mythic boss you have to collect 100 mythstones. You have to pick a difficulty before you do 4 normal explore fights, the chosen difficulty raises the gold, mythstone and token income. Retreating a battle will break your current progress, losing a normal battle will just give you the option to end your run or to retry. Much worse is to lose against a mythic boss, because you lose your progress + invested Mythstones. Each unlocked difficulty is shared between all kingdoms and mythstones drops from the mini boss fights. The chosen difficulty shows you the range in which amount they can drop.

Look out for a symbol above a kingdom for 20% more mythstone income, but depending on your own team stats it's maybe also a good idea to pick a weak kingdom or a kingdom where you need specific traitstones. As example: I started a level 150 mythic boss fight in Whitehelm and Gaards Avatar wiped nearly all my troops with a "deal 140+ damage to all troops" spell. Some other kingdoms have weaker mythic cards like the Grosh-Nak one.

This time there is no limitation beside of your own time. You can fight as many times you want. If you have trouble with really high difficult settings, pick a lower one. Difficulty 10 (Level 100) already give you the best amount of possible tokens after a fight. I will improve my solution with some more team suggestions very soon and be happy about any other team builds in the comment section of this solution. My first suggestion is the team i used myself most of the time. The other teams are alternatives you can try out if you want.

Excellent solution! Glad to hear that difficulty 10 gives the best rewards.

I run an old team of Mang (Titan Level 100), Infernus, Ubastet and Yao Guai (his attacks make reds for the above three), and have no issues handling difficulty 12. I'd do 12 just so that I can guarantee a mythic boss fight every two runs of 4+1 battles. At difficulty 10, sometimes it gives less than 50 mythstones per run.

Your Team #2 is works great. Though I didn't have a 2nd Tesla, so I put a Paladin in it's place. This way I can get mana from green and yellow as well. Using the Urskaya shield on him once normally gives him enough armor to where his skill can 1 shot enemies on difficulties 9 and below.

How do drops work for the 6 possible medals? I got my first token but need 3 of the same kind to make a badge. Is it random or kingdom specific?

It's pure luck based, the kingdom don't change the token drop. So pick one with a stone bonus OR a kingdom that you can beat more easily like Khetar, Drifting Sand or your choice. Chances are good that your first medal will be the cedric medal, because this token have the best drop chance at the moment.

You grab the best rewards from the highest difficulty, you only already got the highest token reward at difficulty 10. If you have troops that fly through level 12, go for it. If you struggle, play at difficulty 10 (or lower if you really have problems). It's hard to say if the extra amount of mythstones is worth the time if your fights takes much longer or if you mess up some boss fights. I would say no.

With my first two team suggestions i can handle difficulty 12 fights, but i also know i have a high stat boosts after playing this game for a so long time. I hope one of my suggestions help you guys to handle at least difficulty 10.
