TBH: Task Bar Hero Tier List – Best Characters, Pets & Team Comps (June 2026)

Knight Gold Priest

Last Updated: June 1, 2026

The best classes in TBH: Task Bar Hero are Knight (S Tier - The strongest all-rounder with flexible tank and hybrid builds) and Hunter (S Tier - Explosive AoE crossbow user with ranged power).

For pets, Dragon leads with three simultaneous bonuses, including +20% EXP and +15% Gold per kill. Bat is the best F2P pet, giving dual buffs to Common Chest drops and EXP gain.

What Do the Tier Rankings Mean in Our TBH: Task Bar Hero Class Tier List?

In TBH: Task Bar Hero, class rankings reflect how well each hero performs across different team formations, how much flexibility their build has, and whether their role can be replaced. Here are each of the tiers and what they mean:

Tier	Meaning in TBH: Task Bar Hero	Classes
S	Best all-around. Works in any team formation and provides damage, defense, or support without needing specific builds.	2
A	Strong but situational. Gets better results with specific team pairings or investment in the right stats and items.	3
B	Functional but outclassed. Can work with the right team, but a free or easier option fills the same role more effectively.	1

Which Classes Are S Tier in TBH: Task Bar Hero?

Class & Type	Why This Tier	Best For
Knight [Free]	+ Knight is the best free class in the game because it covers three roles simultaneously. + You get frontline tanking, direct damage with his long sword, and team protection through his bubble shield ability. + Knight works in any formation. No other free class matches his combination of survivability and adaptability.	All teams, Tank/All-round
Hunter [DLC]	+ Hunter attacks from range with a crossbow that deals explosive and lightning AoE damage, stacking elemental status effects on multiple enemies at once. + During boss rounds, she can reduce a boss health bar to near zero before it even reaches the party. + Hunter is the strongest single damage dealer in the game when built for attack output, and pairs particularly well with tankier heroes who can draw attention away from her.	Boss fights, AoE damage, DPS builds, attack-focused teams

Which Classes Are A Tier in TBH: Task Bar Hero?

Class & Type	Why This Tier	Best For
Priest [Free]	+ Priest is the only healer in TBH and a near-mandatory pick for any team that wants to survive deeper into runs. + Her heal and attack buff abilities make every other hero harder to kill, and her ability to revive downed heroes prevents full wipes in difficult stages. - Priest needs defense investment to survive harder waves on her own.	Team survival, boss runs, Healing
Sorcerer [Free]	+ Sorcerer, the game's default Mage class, deals ranged AoE elemental attacks, slows incoming enemies to control their movement, and can summon a Hydra minion to add extra DPS during waves. + She falls slightly behind Hunter in raw output but brings more team utility through the slow and summon mechanics. - You need to build her around ability power and pair with a tank since her health pool is low.	AoE clearing, F2P teams, ability-power builds
Slayer [DLC]	+ Slayer, which many players call the Berserker, is a berserker-style melee fighter with crowd-control abilities and an HP sacrifice mechanic that dramatically boosts damage output for high-risk, high-reward burst. + His damage is good, but Knight fills a nearly identical frontline role for free while bringing better survivability. - Slayer is worth picking up if you already own the DLC and want more offensive melee.	High-damage melee builds, crowd control

Which Classes Are B Tier in TBH: Task Bar Hero?

Class & Type	Why This Tier	Best For
Ranger [Free]	+ Ranger, the game's free Archer, fires arrow flurries and stacks Bleeding debuffs on enemies, functioning as the free ranged DPS option when Hunter is not in the lineup. - Her AoE range is more limited than Hunter, and Sorcerer frequently outperforms her in the ranged slot without any DLC purchase. - Ranger works fine only when built correctly and paired with the right team, but there is almost always a stronger option available.	F2P ranged builds, Bleeding, DPS

What Do the Tier Rankings Mean in Our TBH: Task Bar Hero Pet Tier List?

In TBH: Task Bar Hero, pets are all active simultaneously once unlocked, so there are no roster decisions. Every pet you own contributes passively at all times. So, here's what each of them means in our ranking.

Tier	Meaning in TBH: Task Bar Hero	Pets
S	Best available. Provides multiple simultaneous bonuses that improve farming, leveling, and item drops at the same time.	3
A	Strong single bonuses that improve either gold income, EXP gain, or chest drop rates throughout progression.	3
B	Limited value. Either locked behind DLC with a weak bonus, or outclassed by a free alternative with the same or better effect.	2

Which Pets Are S Tier in TBH: Task Bar Hero?

Pet	Bonuses	Why This Tier	Best For
Dragon	+20% Common Chest drop chance, +15% Gold per kill, +20% EXP gain	+ Dragon activates three separate bonuses simultaneously, making it the only pet in the game that improves all three major farming categories at once. + Nothing else competes with this combination, and Dragon remains the top pick regardless of what stage of the game you are in.	All content, gold farming, EXP leveling, chest drops
Dark Spirit	+15% Stage Boss Chest drop chance	+ Dark Spirit boosts Stage Boss Chest drops by 15%, which becomes increasingly valuable from Act 2 onward, where boss chests start rewarding significantly better gear and items than standard drops. + The later the game goes, the more each boss chest is worth, making Dark Spirit a pet that scales in value.	Boss chest farming, late-game
Bat	+10% Common Chest drop chance, +15% EXP gain	+ Bat is the best free-to-play pet in the game. Its dual-ability structure outperforms most single-ability pets regardless of rarity or cost. + You can farm Act 1 specifically to unlock it early, since the EXP gain compounds across the entire run from the moment it activates.	F2P, early game, EXP farming

Which Pets Are A Tier in TBH: Task Bar Hero?

Pet	Bonuses	Why This Tier	Best For
Sword	+15% EXP gain	+ Sword provides a clean +15% EXP boost that accelerates character leveling consistently across every stage of the game. - It does not match Bat's dual-ability structure, but as a single-stat pet, it is somewhat useful.	EXP farming
Burning Skeleton	+10% Stage Boss Chest drop chance	+ Burning Skeleton improves Stage Boss Chest drops by 10%, making it a practical alternative if Dark Spirit is unavailable. - The 5% gap between the two is noticeable over many boss runs.	Boss chest farming
Watcher	+15% Gold per kill	+ Watcher provides +15% Gold per kill without requiring any real-money purchase, which already makes it a better recommendation than Butterfly. - Gold compounds quickly in TBH, but their usefulness keeps falling in the long term.	Gold farming

Which Pets Are B Tier in TBH: Task Bar Hero?

Pet	Bonuses	Why This Tier	Best For
Butterfly	+10% Gold per kill	- Butterfly requires a DLC purchase and provides only a single +10% Gold per kill bonus, less than the free Watcher's +15%. - The DLC cost, combined with the weaker bonus, makes Butterfly the hardest pet to recommend in the current roster.	Gold farming
Blue Golem	+15% Common Chest drop chance	- Blue Golem provides a decent Common Chest drop rate boost on paper, but Common Chests consistently drop low-rarity fodder gear that clutters the inventory more than it advances progression. - Bat covers the same chest drop bonus at a lower activation cost while also providing EXP gain on top.	Early game, Chest farming only

What Are the Best Team Compositions in TBH: Task Bar Hero?

The best compositions pair a frontline tank with at least one healer or a high-damage ranged attacker. Keep in mind that you start with limited Hero Slots and need to unlock more before you can field a full three-hero party, so prioritize that as you progress. Here are all the best combinations, along with the pets you should have.

Knight + Hunter + Priest (Best Overall)

The strongest three-hero team in the game right now. Knight draws enemy attention and survives long enough for Hunter to shred incoming waves and bosses from range. Priest keeps both alive, buffs their attacks, and prevents any single wipe from ending the run. This combination handles every act and scales into the hardest content available.

Slot	Hero	Role
Frontline	Knight	Tank and team protector
Ranged DPS	Hunter	AoE damage and boss killing
Support	Priest	Healing, buffs, and revive

Recommended Pets: Dragon (triple passive bonus), Dark Spirit (boss chest drops), Bat (EXP gain)

Knight + Sorcerer + Priest (Best Free-to-Play)

The top fully free composition. Knight tanks the front, Sorcerer's AoE and slow abilities keep waves manageable, and Priest sustains the team through prolonged fights. This setup does not hit the same damage ceiling as Composition 1, but it performs consistently without requiring any DLC purchase.

Slot	Hero	Role
Frontline	Knight	Tank and crowd absorber
Mage DPS	Sorcerer	AoE clearing and enemy slow
Support	Priest	Healing and attack buffs

Recommended Pets: Bat (best F2P pet), Sword (EXP stacking), Watcher (gold income)

Knight + Hunter + Sorcerer (Maximum DPS)

Double ranged DPS backed by a Knight tanking the frontline. Hunter and Sorcerer together cover explosive AoE, elemental damage, enemy slow, and boss burst simultaneously. The fastest wave-clear combination in the game.
