As a jedi shadow using guard I've noticed my medals went sky high

[Chiricahua]

When I use the guard action on another player, does that figure into the calculation of medal awards? Even though I only had 57k damage, no self healing except for meditation, and what others healed me for, I got 7 medals. Even though others players had more damage than me. I did successfully guard 2 objectives, so maybe this was it too, and I had 7 kills, and only 1 death. I stayed in stealth whenever possible, and only used telekinetic throw, project, and mind crush. The back stabbing ability I've given up on, because it takes too long to set up. Edited January 5, 2012 by Chiricahua

Medals are for a variety of achievements.

 

Guard and taunt(s) will give you defensive achievements

Damage/Heals have others

 

I'd love to see a full list some time.

Yup, guarding someone can net you many medals, specially if that someone is a pocket healer.

Hover the medals on end-game scoreboard to see what for you got them.

 

Guarding the ball carrier in Hutball can easily earn you 3 medals in one minute if you got an active Healer in your team

 

(that's a note to all of these who fail to set guard on me while I try to carry the ball)

I don't use guard, but I do use taunt and AOE taunt on cooldown and I usually end up with 9-10 medals every game.

As someone who can taunt/gaurd it is easy to get upwards of 11 medals per game. Im a jug and do it mmaybe 80% of the time after I learned what to do.
