Complete TBH Wiki Guide for Task Bar Hero

TBH: Task Bar Hero is a compact idle action RPG that runs along the Windows taskbar. Your heroes fight automatically, earn gold, collect equipment and unlock harder stages while other programs stay open. The small window hides a deep progression system built around six classes, party formation, skill upgrades, runes, item rarity and the Hero-dric Cube.

This TBH Wiki is organized around the questions players ask during a real run. New players can follow a direct beginner route, while returning players can jump to a hero, build, rune, item or farming reference without scanning a long landing page first. Each strategy page shows the relevant patch and update date so older advice is easy to spot.

Build a reliable party

Task Bar Hero classes at a glance

Every class can work, but each one reaches value in a different way. Ranger is the most flexible single-target carry. Priest protects the formation and supplies healing. Sorcerer clears groups, Hunter provides burst damage, Slayer holds the frontline, and Knight offers a forgiving early tank. Choose the role your current team is missing before spending rare materials.

Plan upgrades before spending

A clear Task Bar Hero progression path

Strong accounts are usually built by solving one bottleneck at a time. Use these priorities as a practical checkpoint, then open the detailed guide for the system that is slowing your current run.

Early game: unlock momentum

Pick one dependable damage dealer and unlock the full party before chasing expensive item rolls. Ranger gives most new accounts a simple route because its damage works with common equipment and improves quickly with basic skill levels. Add Priest when the frontline cannot survive, and use Sorcerer when groups of enemies are the main delay. Spend early gold on permanent systems, useful rune access and enough inventory space to keep farming without constant interruptions.

Mid game: specialize each role

Once all party slots are available, stop upgrading every class equally. Give the main carry the best offensive item bases, let support heroes focus on survival and utility, and compare stages by average clear time rather than the largest stage number. This is also the right point to follow a deliberate rune path. Small bonuses that support one clear plan usually outperform scattered upgrades that look stronger only when viewed one item at a time.

Late game: measure consistency

Late-game progress depends on repeatable clears. Test several runs before judging a build, because one lucky result can hide a setup that fails too often. Record clear speed, deaths and the materials earned over the same period. If a lower stage produces more useful resources per hour, farm it until the next upgrade is ready. Solo Ranger setups can work here, but only when gear and survivability are strong enough to beat a stable party over many runs.

Items and the Hero-dric Cube

Judge equipment by the complete stat package, not rarity color alone. Keep bases that match the hero’s role, compare coherent affix combinations and recycle duplicates that have no clear use. The Cube becomes more valuable after the account has stable farming and spare materials. Early repeated rerolls can consume resources without fixing the real bottleneck, while planned crafting helps finish a build that already has the correct skills, runes and formation.

How to use this TBH Wiki

If progress is slow

Unlock the full party and concentrate upgrades on one carry. A focused Ranger often improves stage speed faster than spreading resources evenly across three heroes.

Open the beginner guide

If the team dies

Add Priest, review formation order and give the frontline enough resistance to survive. Once the team clears reliably, move resources back toward damage and speed.

Review team builds

If inventory is full

Keep useful item bases and coherent stat combinations. Recycle obvious duplicates through the Cube instead of saving every high-rarity item by color alone.

Learn the Cube

If farming feels inefficient

Time several runs and move down when a higher stage stalls. Resources earned per hour matter more than the largest stage number the party can barely clear.

Short, practical answers

TBH Wiki questions from new players

Start with the short answer, then open the linked topic when your account needs a full build or progression route.

What is the best first class in Task Bar Hero?

Ranger is the smoothest first damage class for most accounts because it clears quickly and remains useful in late-game farming. Add Priest when the team needs stability.

What should I spend gold on early?

Prioritize permanent progress: party access, useful runes, core skills and enough inventory space to keep farming. Avoid expensive Cube rerolls before the account has its basic unlocks.

What is the best free team?

Ranger, Priest and Sorcerer is a dependable free team. Priest protects the group, Sorcerer clears packs and Ranger handles elites and bosses.
