Trophies



Trophies are semi-rare drops (roughly 10%) from most bosses, and are essentially the boss version of banners. They always show something relevant to the specific boss. Unlike banners, trophies are purely cosmetic and do not provide any bonuses. Some trophies are also only awarded by the Angler NPC. They are purely decorative background objects that can be placed on background walls. In total, there are 30 / 28  / 24  trophies.

Events
Trophies dropped by enemies during Moon Invasions increase at later waves.

Fishing
Fishing trophies are awarded randomly by the Angler NPC for completing quests.
