Medals of Valor are proof that you've beaten a boss while taking no damage. However, they serve no other purpose besides bragging rights.

How to Take No Damage

Another way to earn a Medal of Valor is to attempt the boss once you're stronger. If you failed to take no damage during your first run with the boss, you can always retry later in Stage Replay. As you gain more abilities and better equipment in the game, clearing out the earlier bosses should be a breeze.

One drawback, however, is that you can't save during a Stage Replay. It's best to avoid messing up during the actual fight since reaching it can get time consuming.
