Task Bar Hero Party Formation — Slots, Order, and Swaps
How party formation works in TBH: Task Bar Hero — rune slots vs owned classes, deploy order, catch-up leveling, and swapping for farm vs bosses.
Formation is the loadout screen of TBH: Task Bar Hero. Most “I bought Hunter but can’t use them” confusion is really a slot problem.
Slots vs ownership
| You have… | You can field… |
|---|---|
| Knight only + 1 slot | One hero |
| Knight + Priest owned + 1 slot | Still one hero |
| Rune of Command 2nd/3rd slots | Up to three heroes |
Buy slots in the Rune Tree. Claim Priest early so slot two has a real support waiting.

Positioning / order
Exact left-right behavior can shift by patch, but the intent is stable:
- Front pressure heroes (Knight, sometimes geared Priest) absorb attention
- Backline DPS (Ranger / Sorcerer / Hunter) stay safer
- Reordering is usually cheap compared to deploying a brand-new hero (community notes mention deploy cooldowns — check live UI)
Catch-up leveling
With spare slots, carrying an underleveled hero can accelerate them. Do this after your main trio can still clear the farm stage — do not brick chests/hour for vanity levels.
