Task Bar Hero tier list — community opinion (June 2026). Early push favors Priest; mid/late glass-cannon Ranger tops farming and Torment. Rankings will shift with patches.

This Task Bar Hero tier list page covers three searches at once: class power rankings, best comp trios, and phase-specific tiers (early push vs mid/late Torment). Rankings below merge launch-week community consensus with video-tier push/farm splits.

Knight anchors almost every best comp. Hunter is the top paid DPS; Sorcerer substitutes in the best free team. Mid/late farming favors attack-speed Ranger; early story push favors Priest heals until you out-scale waves.

Community tier list (June 2026) — synthesized from launch-week guides and English video commentary. Not official balance; expect patch shifts.

Overall class tiers for task bar hero tier list / taskbar hero tier searches — role fit and account-wide value, not single-hero video ranks alone.

Tier	Class	Access	Role	Why here
S	Knight	Free	Frontline tank	Best free hero — fits every team, soaks bosses, never a wasted slot.
S	Hunter	Paid DLC	Ranged DPS	Highest damage ceiling — elemental bolts, AoE, boss burst with Priest buffs.
A	Priest	Free DLC	Healer / support	Near-essential sustain and ally damage buffs — strongest free pickup.
A	Sorcerer	Free	AoE mage	Best free AoE farmer — replaces Hunter in F2P best comp.
B	Ranger	Free	Ranged DPS	S-tier with attack-speed investment; B in overall until geared — glass cannon.
B	Slayer	Paid DLC	Melee DPS	Strong after ~Lv30 — shorter range keeps him below Hunter/Ranger.

Task Bar Hero best comp — recommended 3-hero parties

taskbar hero best comp / taskbar hero comp / best team searches — unlock Formation slots via Rune of Command before fielding full trios.

Knight + Hunter + Priest — best overall

Knight + Hunter + Priest · Hunter DLC

Tank · top ranged DPS · heals & buffs

Consensus strongest trio — Knight holds aggro, Hunter shreds waves and bosses, Priest prevents wipes. Handles every act and scales into hardest content.

Recommended pets: Dragon, Dark Spirit, Bat

Knight + Sorcerer + Priest — best free-to-play

Knight + Sorcerer + Priest · All free / free DLC

Tank · free AoE · heals & buffs

Top fully free composition. Sorcerer covers Hunter-style AoE at lower ceiling but clears everything consistently without paid classes.

Recommended pets: Bat, Sword, Watcher

Knight + Ranger + Priest — best farming / idle

Knight + Ranger + Priest · Free + free DLC

Tank · consistent ranged DPS · sustain

Safest long AFK farming trio — Ranger steady clear speed, Priest keeps multi-hour runs death-free. Less burst than Hunter comp.

Recommended pets: Watcher, Bat, Sword

Knight + Hunter + Sorcerer — maximum DPS

Knight + Hunter + Sorcerer · Hunter DLC

Tank · dual ranged carries

Fastest wave clear when you can survive without dedicated healer — glass-cannon variant for geared accounts.

Recommended pets: Dragon, Burning Skeleton, Watcher

Knight + Ranger — early two-slot starter

Knight + Ranger · Free

Tank · DPS until slot 3

Standard pre-third-slot party — swap Ranger for Priest once slot two opens if survival matters more than speed.

Recommended pets: Bat, Watcher

Early Game Task Bar Hero Tier List

Acts 1–2 · first unlocks · Priest MVP for push

Priest dominates early pushing thanks to heals and Sanctuary. Sorcerer is the fastest farmer but weak on bosses. Knight is only a boss-shield bot until later levels.

Task Bar Hero S Tier

Priest

Best early hero for story push — heals, tankiness, and Sanctuary/Wrath of Heaven boss carries. Weak for speed farming until you one-shot waves.

Task Bar Hero A Tier

Hunter

Strong push and solid farm; sits next to Ranger. Frost Bolt + Explosive Bolt early, swap toward Quick Loader later.

Ranger

Strong all game but needs attack-speed scaling — Scatter Shot + Arrow Rain until Piercing Arrow online.

Sorcerer

S-tier farmer with Ice Orb + Lightning Laser; A tier overall — drops to B for pure boss push because of weak bossing.

Task Bar Hero B Tier

Sorcerer

Boss-push rank only — great AoE farmer but bad bossing capabilities.

Slayer

Weak until ~level 30, then strong for push and farm — Commander's Cry for bosses, Slam Jump / Axe Spin for farming.

Task Bar Hero C Tier

Knight

Useless for first ~20 levels; C tier because he is mainly a boss shield bot (Piercing Thrust + shields) not a pusher.

Recommended skills

Priest — Heal + Blessing of Might → add Sanctuary for bosses; Wrath of Heaven for burst.
Ranger — Scatter Shot + Arrow Rain early; pivot to attack-speed Piercing Arrow when unlocked.
Sorcerer — Ice Orb + Lightning Laser for farming; Meteor is slow for push.
Slayer — Slam Jump farm; Commander's Cry push; Axe Spin after level 30.
Knight — Piercing Thrust + shield skills; ignore damage stats — pure mitigation bot.
Hunter — Frost Bolt + Explosive Bolt early; Quick Loader later for bolt spam.

Mid & Late Game Task Bar Hero Tier List

Torment push · merged mid/late · gear check

Ranger is busted for farming and pushing if you can upgrade bows (glass cannon). Ranger, Hunter, and Slayer top the DPS list; Priest and Knight are supports; Sorcerer falls behind other carries.
