Which hero should you pick?
Runs in Task Bar Hero use a party of up to 3 heroes, so you are never locked into a single pick. A few pointers for your first unlocks:
Best first party
Knight, Ranger, and Sorcerer are the three base-game heroes, and together they already cover tank, ranged damage, and wave clear. Knight is the most forgiving hero to learn the game with.
Open the Build Planner →DLC heroes
Priest, Hunter, and Slayer require the DLC. Priest adds the healing the base roster lacks, Hunter brings traps and utility, and Slayer is the top melee damage pick.

- How many heroes are in Task Bar Hero?
- There are 6 playable heroes: Knight, Ranger, and Sorcerer in the base game, plus Priest, Hunter, and Slayer as DLC heroes.
- What is the best hero for beginners?
- Knight is the most forgiving first pick thanks to its high HP and armor. Pair it with Ranger or Sorcerer for damage and you have a solid first party of base-game heroes.
- How do hero unlocks work?
- Heroes are unlocked with gold earned in game; the unlock cost is shown on each hero card. Priest, Hunter, and Slayer also require owning the DLC.
- Can I use more than one hero at once?
- Yes. A run uses a party of up to 3 heroes, and each hero can occupy only one slot. Use the Build Planner to theorycraft a full party with gear, skills, and runes.
- What do the DPS and EHP ranks mean?
- Each card ranks the hero against the rest of the roster using level 1 base stats. DPS combines attack damage, attack speed, and crit; EHP is max HP scaled by armor. Rank 1 is the best of the 6 heroes.
