GAME INTRODUCTION
What to know before you play
TBH: Task Bar Hero is a free-to-play PC idle RPG built to run as a small desktop companion. The official Steam listing describes automatic loot collection, hero classes, items, skills, a Cube system, three acts, difficulty tiers, achievements, and Steam Market trading. That breadth makes a single “best build” page less useful than a focused route for the system currently slowing your account down.
Use this guide hub by your current blocker
Start with the beginner guide if you are still learning the first loop. Move to the class and team pages when a slot, weapon, or skill choice is holding back progression. Use the Cube page when you need to decide whether an item should be kept or changed. Farming and pet pages are for targeted progression questions rather than a generic stage recommendation. Steam Market instructions are temporarily withheld because trading rules have changed repeatedly and require a fresh official-status review.
Open the page for the blocker you actually have
- Beginner route — the first stable progression loop and what to avoid spending too early.
- Classes — roles, unlock context, and when a class solves a specific formation problem.
- Best team builds — team construction by frontline, damage, and sustain rather than one universal lineup.
- Cube guide — Cube leveling, operation unlocks, synthesis odds, Alchemy values, and what not to consume.
- Tier list — a dated endgame comparison with the test conditions attached.
- Rune Tree — permanent progression decisions and reset boundaries.
- Stage farming — choose a repeatable stage for the resource currently blocking progress.
- Pets — compare a pet by the role and condition its effect actually serves.
- Achievements — current unlock requirements and version-sensitive notes.
The guides linked below separate developer-confirmed features from player testing. A result that depends on a particular difficulty, save state, item, or patch should stay tied to that condition. The official listing confirms the game’s broad systems, but it does not publish every efficient route or every interaction, so this site does not turn an unverified observation into a universal rule.
Check updates before acting on a fixed value
The Steam Community update feed is part of the normal verification loop. Recent developer notes have included fixes affecting skills, chests, saves, Cube crafting behavior, and UI states. When a current in-game tooltip conflicts with an older guide, the live game and the latest official update take priority; note the difference and treat the page as needing a review.

→TIER LIST · Aug 23, 2026TBH Tier List — Ranger, Priest and the Conditions Behind the RankThe ranking is a snapshot, not a law. See the test conditions, the job each class performs, and which class to use when your account is not at endgame.
→TEAM COMPS · Aug 23, 2026TBH Best Teams — Slot Order, Skills and When to SwapFormation order matters more than a letter grade. Use these teams as testable shells, with a skill pair and a failure condition for each slot.
→FARMING · Aug 23, 2026TBH Stage Farming — Gold, EXP, Chests, and Over-Level PenaltyThe best stage is the one your party clears fast enough at a useful level. Use this test for Gold, EXP, gear and pet farming, with current stage examples from the data tables.
→PROGRESSION · Aug 23, 2026TBH Rune Tree Guide — Exact Hero Slot Path and Priority OrderA node-by-node early route instead of a vague direction map, with current costs, prerequisites, and a decision rule for what to buy after the full formation.
→SYSTEMS & REFERENCE
Explore systems & reference
Stop reading tier letters without context. Compare the six heroes by job, base stats, weapon pair, and the skill package your account can actually use.
→CUBE SYSTEM · Aug 23, 2026TBH Cube Guide — Unlock Levels, Synthesis Odds and What to KeepThe Cube is not one button. This page tells you what each operation consumes, when it unlocks, and which items should never go into auto-fill.
→PROGRESSION · Aug 23, 2026TBH Pets Guide — Unlock Monsters, Bonuses and Farm StagesThe pet name is not always the monster you farm. Use this table to match pet bonus → required monster → fastest reported stage, then verify the counter in your client.
→ACHIEVEMENTS · Aug 23, 2026TBH Achievements Guide — 56 Steam Achievements and RoadmapUse the achievement list as a progression checklist instead of a random grind. This guide groups the 56 Steam achievements by the system they test and gives each group a sensible starting point.
