I remember my first run: one hero, two ghosted silhouettes, and a boss that chewed through my single class like paper. You felt that hollow when you saw the extra slots—two empty promises behind your starter. I’ll walk you through the Rune map so you can turn those ghosts into a proper team.
I once watched a friend trade DLC skins for hours — How to get more Hero Slots in TBH: Task Bar Hero
You start TBH: Task Bar Hero with a single class on the Formation screen and two locked slots staring back at you. The only reliable method to unlock more Hero slots is spending Gold inside the Rune section. Think of the Rune tree as your account ledger: choices cost Gold, but they change the shape of every fight you face.
To get the first extra slot, move two nodes down from the Rune starting point. It sits under the Rune of Growth node and is one of the cheaper purchases on the tree. Buy it, and that second silhouette becomes a selectable class—like adding seats at a crowded dinner table.
How do I get more hero slots in TBH: Task Bar Hero?
Open the Rune menu from Formation, then follow the branch that has the small slot icon. The first extra slot is cheap and sits two nodes beneath the starting rune. The second extra slot requires you to take the branch left from that first slot and pass two Rune of Expansion nodes before reaching the node that grants the third class slot.
How much Gold does it cost to open the third hero slot?
The final class slot is expensive: the node asks for 150,000 Gold. That’s a heavy hit to an early account, so I advise holding off until your core heroes are at least Level 20. Prioritize nodes that boost EXP and Gold income first, and don’t ignore the idle-Gold node—its passive returns act like a mini bank vault while you’re offline.
My roommate always chased cosmetics — When to buy the third slot and what to prioritize
If you’re hoarding Gold on Steam, Google Play, or the App Store builds, spend it where it multiplies. Before dropping 150,000 Gold on the third slot, upgrade EXP-rate nodes and Gold-rate nodes. Those investments level your roster faster and reduce the regret of dumping a mound of currency into a slot that your under-leveled team can’t utilize.
After you buy a slot, you can choose any available class for that space and fit them with gear and skills as they meet requirements. Use the Formation screen to test synergies and tweak priorities—switching classes early lets you exploit cheap synergies without burning expensive Runes.
I’ve tracked this path across community threads on Moyens I/O and Discord, and the consensus from veteran players is simple: buy the first slot fast, save for the third until your team can actually use it. You can check player guides on Steam or strategy posts on Reddit for layout diagrams of the Rune tree if you prefer a visual roadmap.
Ready to spend your Gold where it changes the game—or will you keep the empty silhouettes as a reminder of missed potential?
