Task Bar Hero Controls & QoL — Settings That Matter
Quick answer
TBH: Task Bar Hero quality-of-life setup — Auto-retry, chest habits, window reset hotkeys, locking items before Cube Auto Fill, and multi-monitor fixes.
TBH: Task Bar Hero is lightweight, but a few settings decide whether AFK feels smooth or annoying.
Turn on first
| Setting / habit | Why |
|---|---|
| Auto-retry | Failed stages loop without babysitting |
| Open chests regularly (until auto-open runes) | Chests are your loot faucet |
| Spend skill points every level | Red dots are free power |
| Lock keepers before Cube bulk actions | Prevents accidental Alchemy |
Window / UI resets (community hotkeys)
Players commonly cite:
- Shift+F12 — reset window position
- Shift+F11 — reset UI scale
Useful on multi-monitor setups when the taskbar window vanishes or scales wrong. Verify on your patch — hotkeys can change.
Formation QoL notes
- Reordering heroes is generally cheap/free compared to deploying a new hero (community notes mention deploy cooldowns — check live UI).
- Underleveled heroes can ride in party for catch-up XP when you have slots.
- Empty pet slots waste passives — Pets guide.
Inventory hygiene
- Wear upgrades for classes you field.
- Stash materials / soul-related items / future crafts.
- Alchemy the rest after locking keepers.
- Do not craft for classes you never deploy.
AFK checklist before walking away
- Client running (not closed)
- Auto-retry on
- Stable trio deployed
- Stage you crush selected
- Automation runes progressing
- Inventory not already full of unmarked junk
