Trophy Trinkets

[Morshu-Maxxing]

I just had a few questions about the trinkets you get from defeating champion bosses.

1. Are they worth using? They have no downsides, and decent stats, so I assume so, yet no one ever talks about them.

2. If a hero died with them, would they reappear in my inventory, or would I lose them forever/have to fight the champion boss again?

They are worth using, but at that point in the game you likely have better alternatives.
Necros collar is obv. great in ruins, flesh heart is great in the darkest dungeon, conch and flg are meh whatevs, i like the eye on my vestals, but it lowers healing so not so great at that. Propably better on PD. Matchstick is quite the treat for an arbalest.
Hags ladle and the bell are just bad.

you get them back a week after you lost them.

In order:
1. Their usefuleness ranges a fair bit and there is usually other trinkets which tend to be better at specialising heroes. However, you can definately find uses for them.
2. They apparently reappear the next week.

Alright thanks. Just needed a definite answer.

I really like Wilbur's Flag on a Houndmaster than likes to use Guard Dog, the extra +10 Dodge is nice and on the rare occasion he gets hit with a stun attack the +35% stun resist helps prevent the guard getting broken, I imagine it's also not bad on an MAA for the same reason.

So yeah each of the trinkets has their use, normally quite niche but if it does what you need it to do, then it does what you need it too!

Some are, some aren't. Neither Cove trophies nor the Hag's Ladel are particularly useful but Fuseman's Matchstick and Wilbur's Flag are basically better versions of the Ancestor's Musket Ball and Coat respectively, and Flesh's Heart can be really good in the Darkest Dungeon and the Cove, and the Collar is one of the best Ruins trinkets. Prophet's Eye could also be good but I don't really use it myself.
