What does the play style medals mean?

What does the different play style medal mean? I thought I had an idea, but recent missions I have done have unraveled those ideas :P

Soldier?

Just general active combatant?

Artillery?

Long range aoe damage? Or not getting hit that much while doing damage?

Executioner?

Guess: getting a lot killing blows?

Sage?

Getting more lore/ looting/ materials than battle?

Anyway, I have been searching around a little, and haven't found anything official. Maybe i just suck at looking for information, in which case sorry for this post.

• Artinia - Rewards you for weapon use, defeating elite enemies, and hitting weak points (Soldier medal).
• Cariff - Rewards you for using combos, gear, and multi-kills (Artillery medal).
• Gawnes - Rewards you for using Melee, Ultimate abilities, and defeating Legendary enemies (Executioner medal).
• Yvenia - Rewards you for collecting and harvesting items and repairing the Javelins of downed allies (Sage medal).

Soldier = guns. Executioner = melee. Sage is probably elemental abilities and artillery blast (and impact?) damage if I had to guess.

I thought pretty much the same thing. Then my friend who was playing Storm, and never done any melee, got executioner. While I, as a melee intercepter, usually get Executioner, Soldier or Artillery (and sage a single time) Which is causing my confusion :P

Most of the times, he gets Artillery as Storm, while my other friend playing colossus, like me get some all-around medals.
