ABOUT THE DESK
A guide should show its receipts.
Task Bar Hero Guide is an independent player reference for TBH: Task Bar Hero. We separate developer facts, data extracted by fan databases, and editorial recommendations instead of blending them into one confident paragraph.
Source hierarchy
- Developer and Steam material: use this for official systems, releases, DLC, and patch changes.
- Independent datamined databases: use these for large tables such as base stats, stages, pets, and skill values; we label them as unofficial.
- Named player testing: use this for team and farming recommendations, with the stage, difficulty, gear state, or account condition attached.
- Editorial inference: keep it short and say when it is an inference. We do not present it as a drop rate or developer statement.
What we will not publish
- Invented recipes, odds, skill effects, pet targets, or “best” builds.
- Unlabeled AI filler written to hit a keyword.
- Copied screenshots or gameplay footage presented as our own.
- A ranking without the test conditions needed to reproduce it.
Images and video
Mechanism diagrams on this site are original visuals built from the cited tables. Official trailers are linked from the Steam listing. A tutorial video only belongs on a guide when it shows the exact UI or run being discussed; we will not manufacture gameplay footage to make a page look complete.
What “updated” means
A checked date means the page was reviewed against its listed sources. It does not mean the game’s balance is frozen. If your in-game tooltip disagrees with a third-party table, the tooltip wins and the page needs a correction.
