Normally if you die, your next run gets an extra companion from the run you died on. What if you also get one the run after winning against the frost guardian, the companion being one of the companions that you just fought against.
Essentially you would get a companion you were using at least two runs ago.
I am aware this is probably missing the point of the injured companion event, since I think it's meant more as a consolation prize after dying so you can do better next time. Also some people don't like this event already so they probably won't want to see it more.
Just came to mind as a way to play with it without throwing.
