TBH // PLAYER REFERENCE

The answer before the next run.

Short, source-backed answers for Task Bar Hero: what to buy, what to equip, and which stage to farm next.

Start here if you are stuck:

  • One hero only? Follow the hero-slot route and buy the south-path Rune of Command nodes.
  • Dying before the boss? Use the class reference to fix the frontline, not a random tier letter.
  • Inventory full? Read the Cube rules before you alchemize or synthesize anything.
  • Need a farm target? The beginner route explains active versus offline rewards and what to measure.

This is an independent guide. Official facts, datamined values, and player-tested recommendations are labeled separately; when a number is not verified, it is left out.
