Offense Medallions rank among the most powerful in the game. Since winning in Fortnite Blitz Royale often requires aggressive gameplay, these Medallions are ideal for players who prefer to maintain pressure on opponents.
Aspect of Combat
Description: Increases the damage of ranged weapons.
When to use: If you excel at long-range engagements, this Medallion boosts the damage of any ranged weapon, such as rifles or SMGs, helping you secure duels swiftly. It’s advantageous for medium to long-range combat, making it a strong choice in most situations.
Ringmaster Scarr
Description: Grants infinite ammo and a minor damage boost.
When to use: While the infinite ammo and slight damage increase may seem appealing, ammo scarcity is rarely an issue in Blitz Royale, and the damage buff is scarcely noticeable. Despite its flashy appeal, it is less practical during intense fights. Opt for a more impactful Medallion instead.
Night Rose
Description: Automatically reloads your weapon.
When to use: The Night Rose Medallion continuously reloads your weapon, allowing uninterrupted action without having to pause for manual reloads. It is especially effective with high fire-rate weapons like SMGs, letting you maintain pressure in close-quarters combat. Though simple, its effect proves highly effective over the course of a five-minute match.
All Healing Medallions in Fortnite Blitz Royale

Healing items are challenging to use effectively in the fast-paced Blitz Royale mode, making Healing Medallions a reliable alternative. Whether you spawn with one or aim to acquire one from a Golden Supply Drop, here’s an overview of each Healing Medallion:
Aspect of Siphon
Description: Restores 50 health or shield after eliminating an enemy, depending on what you lack.
When to use: Perfect for aggressive players who actively pursue kills and want to sustain longer fights. This Medallion allows you to skip carrying extra healing items early in the match and focus purely on offense. It’s one of the best Medallions for solo and duo Blitz Royale games.
Infernal Defenses
Description: Provides passive shield regeneration along with increased reload speed.
When to use: Offering a balanced mix of offense and defense, this Medallion aids in drawn-out battles by letting you recover shields passively and reload faster. While not flashy, these effects significantly contribute over a five-minute match. A solid choice if you prefer steady sustain and quicker gunplay.
The Machinist
Description: Regenerates up to 75 shield points gradually over time.
When to use: This Medallion is ideal for cautious players who want passive shield recovery without relying on Shield Potions. The slow regeneration rate isn’t optimal during intense fights, but it can replenish you between engagements. It’s reliable for defensive and patient playstyles, though not the strongest option.
All Movement Medallions in Fortnite Blitz Royale

In Blitz Royale, movement is crucial regardless of skill level. Pairing the right Movement Medallion with smart evasive tactics can help you survive until the final circle without engaging every fight directly.
Aspect of Speed
Description: Increases sprint speed and jump height, while eliminating fall damage after sprint-jumping.
When to use: Best suited for fast, aggressive rotations, this Medallion helps you reach high ground quickly and navigate the map without fearing fall damage. It supports mobile, vertical, and fluid movement styles effectively.
Shrouded Striker
Description: Grants temporary invisibility during sprint-jumps and boosts jump height.
When to use: Although it offers invisibility and higher jumps when sprint-jumping, the effect is often underwhelming in combat. The invisibility duration is too brief to impact fights significantly, and enhanced jump height rarely alters engagements. While it looks appealing, it provides less consistent value in high-pressure scenarios.
Unstoppable
Description: Increases sprint speed and knocks back enemies you collide with.
When to use: This Medallion excels in chaotic, close-range encounters, enabling you to shove enemies out of position or break their cover by charging into them. It rewards aggressive gameplay and helps maintain control during fights. Recommended for players who enjoy leading the charge.
All Wildcard Medallions in Fortnite Blitz Royale

Wildcard Medallions are among the most exciting in Fortnite Blitz Royale. Securing one at the start can reduce your reliance on Golden Supply Drops. They encourage aggressive, fast-paced play focused on maximizing Boons (check out the Boons tier list here) and overwhelming your opponents.
Shogun X
Description: Grants infinite stamina and invisibility while sprinting.
When to use: This is arguably the best Medallion available. It cloaks you in the void during sprints, rendering you invisible on the move while granting unlimited stamina. This allows you to dodge enemy fire, escape tough situations, or stealthily approach enemies. With this Medallion, securing victory becomes much more attainable.
Megalo Don
Description: Gives an infinite nitro effect.
When to use: Infinite Nitro boosts sprinting speed, maintains constant momentum, and lets you break through walls and players. It transforms you into a high-mobility wrecking ball, perfect for aggressive pushes and swift retreats. Ideal for players who want to stay constantly on the move.
Aspect of Agility
Description: Provides recharging Underworld Dash charges.
When to use: Enables up to three recharging dashes, granting burst-speed teleportation forward. This Medallion enhances your mobility in chaotic fights, allowing rapid repositioning or stylish engagements. It suits players favoring fast and unpredictable movement.
How Do Medallions Work in Fortnite Blitz Royale?
Each Fortnite Blitz Royale match starts with every player receiving one random Medallion from the set of 12 mentioned above. To maintain fairness, everyone in the lobby receives the same Medallion initially.
However, you can switch Medallions during the match by locating Golden Supply Drops, which spawn randomly and contain additional Medallions.

Unlike traditional Battle Royale mode, carrying a Medallion doesn’t reveal your position to opponents, and you cannot drop Medallions. Once you have one, it remains with you throughout the match. Additionally, there is a chance for a Golden Llama to appear on the map, offering a high-rarity Medallion if you manage to find it.
