Knight
Best use
Safe opener, frontline tolerance, early route learning.
Watch out
Can feel slower if you use the same setup for repeat farming after the route is already safe.

This is a beginner-friendly hero priority guide, not a hard universal tier list. Use it to choose which hero record to inspect next based on the job your party needs to solve.
Beginner Hero Ranking By Job

1. KnightSafest beginner openerBest first check when the account has weak gear and you need stable progress before deeper Rune Tree support.2. RangerEarly clear-speed testGood comparison point once a route is safe and you want to test whether faster wave pace improves farming.3.

HunterFocused ranged damageUse as a specialized damage record after your core team and gear priority are clearer.6. SlayerLater damage comparisonInspect as a later project when your build testing can support more specific damage and gear choices.How To Use This Priority List
- Pick a hero for the job you are solving: safety, speed, sustain, boss pressure, or later scaling.
- Do not copy a late-account damage setup before your Rune Tree and third hero slot are stable.
- Pair hero priority with build goals. A farming team and a boss-push team can value different roles.
- Use hero records for exact skills and stats before changing your party.
Priority Changes By Stage
Account stageDefault pickWhy
First hourKnight firstPrioritize stability while gear and rune depth are weak. This gives you more time to learn enemy pressure and route limits.
Third slot pushKnight + Priest + RangerA balanced frontline, sustain, and ranged damage setup is easier to evaluate than three damage projects at once.
Stable farmingRanger or Sorcerer testOnce a stage is safe, compare clear speed and uptime. Faster farming only matters if the route stays repeatable.
Boss wallKnight + Priest + HunterWhen survival and focused pressure matter more than routine wave speed, move toward a boss-push template.
Later accountSorcerer / Slayer projectsTreat later damage heroes as projects that need better gear direction, rune depth, and party support.
Hero Strengths And Cautions
Ranger
Best use
Clear-speed testing and routine farming comparisons.
Watch out
Needs enough stability around the party before speed actually improves results.
Priest
Best use
Sustain, longer runs, and party consistency.
Watch out
Not a substitute for fixing damage or route selection when the party is simply underpowered.
Sorcerer
Best use
Magic damage scaling and later build experiments.
Watch out
Can be hard to judge early if gear direction and support are still unclear.
Hunter
Best use
Focused ranged pressure and boss-oriented comparisons.
Watch out
Better after your core team is already stable enough to support a focused damage slot.
Slayer
Best use
Later damage testing once you can inspect skills and gear pressure carefully.
Watch out
Not a clean first recommendation for new accounts without enough supporting systems.
Hero Priority FAQ
What is the best first hero in Task Bar Hero?
Knight is the safest first recommendation because it gives new accounts more tolerance while gear, Rune Tree progress, and route choices are still weak.
Is this a real tier list?
It is a beginner priority list by job. The page avoids universal S-tier claims because hero value changes with party slots, gear, runes, farming goals, and boss pressure.
What is the best early party?
Knight + Priest + Ranger is the cleanest starter template to evaluate because it gives frontline stability, sustain, and ranged damage without forcing specialized gear too early.
When should I switch to farming heroes?
Switch only after the stage is already safe. If a faster hero causes failed or inconsistent clears, the route is not actually better for farming.
