Pets Tier List
TBH: Task Bar Hero Pets Tier List
Every TBH: Task Bar Hero pet ranked for the current build (v1.00.06). Pets have no slot limit — once unlocked, a pet’s bonus is always on and stacks with every other pet you own, so there’s no wrong pick in the long run. This list is about which pets to farm first for the biggest boost to your gold, EXP, and chest drops.

Every pet ranked
| Pet | Tier | Source | Bonus | How to unlock | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dragon | S | Paid DLC | +20% common chest drops, +15% gold, +20% EXP | Supporter Pack DLC | Three economy bonuses at once — gold, EXP, and chest drops all feed your whole progression loop. The strongest single pet, but it costs real money. |
| Bat | S | Free | +10% common chest drops, +15% EXP | Defeat 5,000 Bats (park your team in Act 1) | The best free pet and an easy early unlock — leave your team farming Act 1 bats and you get dual chest + EXP bonuses for nothing. |
| Dark Spirit | S | Free | +15% Stage Boss Chest drops | Defeat 5,000 Ghosts | Stage Boss Chests hold the best rewards, especially past Act 1, so a 15% boost compounds across dozens of boss kills. |
| Watcher | A | Free | +15% gold per kill | Defeat 5,000 Giant Flies | The best raw gold pet and the interim income source while you farm toward the Dragon. Outvalues the Butterfly for the same role. |
| Blue Golem | A | Free | +15% common chest drops | Defeat 5,000 Hell Golems | A strong common-chest multiplier, but the Hell Golems you farm to unlock it appear later, so it lands after the early picks. |
| Burning Skeleton | A | Free | +10% Stage Boss Chest drops | Farm around Acts 2–9 | Mirrors the Dark Spirit’s boss-chest bonus at 10% instead of 15% — still worth unlocking, just a lower priority. |
| Butterfly | B | Free | Gold per kill (below the Watcher) | Farmable in early Acts | Covers the same gold-per-kill role as the Watcher but at lower value. Still stacks, so grab it eventually — just not first. |
How pets work
You unlock most pets by defeating a set number of a specific enemy (commonly 5,000), so the fastest way to collect them is to park your team on the right Act and let it auto-battle. Because every unlocked pet stays active and the bonuses stack, the endgame goal is to own them all — the tiers above just tell you the order that gives you the most value soonest.
