As usual, some compensation in the form of coins and fusion stones will be provided to owners of Joust Champions, Debug Loggers, and Original Blueprints, proportional to the level and rarity of the card. Find below the compensation values for each rarity and level.
Rare card: 
15 coins and 
2 fusion stones at level 2, 30 coins and 3 fusion stones at level 3, 90 coins and 7 fusion stones at level 4, 190 coins and 10 fusion stones at level 5.
Epic card: 15 coins and 2 fusion stones at level 2, 40 coins and 5 fusion stones at level 3, 120 coins and 10 fusion stones at level 4, 250 coins and 20 fusion stones at level 5.
Medals Feature
With this update, we are introducing Medals - a new way for players to track, preserve, and showcase their achievements across Stormbound.
Medals are designed to highlight the moments players can be proud of, from finishing Campaign chapters and reaching new ranks to winning competitive matches, climbing Heroes League, completing Draft runs, performing well in Brawl, unlocking cards, and leveling them up. Players will also be able to highlight selected Medals, making them visible to every opponent they face in battle.
Tracking Progress Across the Game
Some Medals will be granted based on records we have already been tracking, including ranked victories collected over the past several years. This gives long-time players a way to receive recognition for achievements they completed before the system was introduced.
Faction-specific ranked victories, however, were not tracked in the past, so everyone will start those Medals from zero.
Medals also give us a flexible foundation for future goals and progression, so the first collection available in this update may grow over time as new challenges and milestones are added to the game.
