With the addition of Banner Buffs came a new section of my Frost Moon arena- a place to hang all the banners of the enemies I killed. The more banners I collected, the easier the event became. But I also noticed that the three bosses of the event- Everscream, Santank, and Elsa Ice Queen- don't have banners. Instead they drop their respective trophies. And I mean, that's cool and all, but there isn't a way to give a buff against these challenging enemies. So then I thought, the trophies are kind of a replacement for the banners- why not make them the buff item? That got me thinking- what if ALL boss trophies did that?
My suggestion is this: boss trophies have the same area-effect buff as banners, except it applies to the boss the trophy represents. However, to have it give the EXACT SAME buff would be a bit OP; correct me if I'm wrong, but from observation I have concluded that when under the effect of a banner, that enemy does half damage to you and takes twice the damage from your attacks. That kind of buff against a boss would be extremely unbalanced. So here is what I suggest: under the effect of a boss trophy, the respective boss does 25% less damage to you and takes 30% more damage from your attacks.
Note: if you are near a banner and a trophy at the same time, the displayed buff will act as if the trophy was just another banner, adding the boss's name to the list of enemies you have a buff against.
That's about it. What do you think?

@ZemmySix- Separate Buff Icon for trophies (sprite for icon may come soon)
@GenericUsername- Trophies drop once every (insert balanced number here) boss kills, similarly to banners.
@Scironex- Trophies that give unique buffs similarly to the expert mode items can be crafted from normal trophies and materials aimilar to the boss itself.
