Better Bosses

Description
Better Bosses changes four fights to be more distinctive, full of bigger moments, and, at higher Ascensions, more challenging.

Confront a menagerie of Torch Heads against the Collector.
Face the Champ's most brutal attacks.
Choose between devastating curses against Deca and Donu.
Give serious thought to joining The Awakened One's cult.

You can turn on or off any of these bosses in the mod configs, or enable the Ascension 19 alterations of these modded bosses at any ascension, for some extra challenge.

At least below A19, these changes are intended to be about power-neutral, shifting enemies' power from steady damage and durability to more thematic specialties. I also wanted to emphasize player choice by making tradeoffs closer and adding more options for ways to handle encounters.

Thanks to SilentJ for collaborating on this, and the assistance of the whole Modding Discord channel, particularly Blank the Evil for helping with patches and JohnnyBazooka for making a card image cropper.

I haven't seen your Collector yet, but my opinion on the others:
Champion is pretty unremarkable. I didn't even notice the difference except to his debuff attack, and I think you started him with metallicize instead of getting it from the block move?
Deca and Donu: Your claim that the change is power-neutral is a joke, you added curses and replaced Dazed with the same amount of Burn. I didn't check if they did the same damage I guess. Still, they were the easiest act 3 boss and the curses are a really creative+fun addition that feels like it should have always been there.
Awakened One: I like your idea of him summoning minions instead of attacking in phase 1, and filling your deck with wimpy powers. It does reduce his role as the "punishes powers/slowness" boss. More importantly, if you don't use up all those feathers he can stunlock you for multiple turns after he transforms, which is a bit TOO nasty of a surprise if the player wasn't expecting it.

Maybe the orbs can take more cards and get buffs depending on how many they take? If that's possible

There may be more bosses eventually, but only if I have good ideas that I think will improve them. Honestly, I like the Act 1 bosses as simpler introductions appropriate for less developed decks, though admittedly mods are aimed at more enfranchised players.

I have a few ideas for Time Eater, but I've not devoted much thought to Bronze Automaton.
