How to Get Pets in TBH: Task Bar Hero
While checking out the Formations tab in your character menu, you won’t just find the hero list here. Right below the list of heroes is a small section called Pets. So far, you get 5 free pets and 3 DLC pets. Now, to get pets, you need to clear some of the levels to encounter certain enemy types. Once you find these enemies, defeat them to get the Pet as a drop.
I had to travel all around the various maps to find each of the 5 free pets available in the game. This was no easy task, as the more difficult a pet is to find, the higher the chances of it dropping from tougher enemies are. Plus, it also depends on RNG, so you might need to defeat several of the same enemy type until you get the required pet.
Below is a table of the type of pets to find, the required enemy you need to defeat, and the stage where you can find them.
| Pet | Required Enemy | How to Get |
| Bat | – | Act 1-8 & 1-9 |
| Watcher | Defeat 5000 Giant Fly | Act 2-4 & 2-5 |
| Burning Skeleton | Defeat 5000 Fire Spirit | Act 2-8 & 2-9 |
| Blue Golem | Defeat 5000 Hell Golem | Act 3-6 |
| Dark Spirit | Defeat 5000 Ghost | Act 3-4 & 3-5 |
| Sword | – | Supporter Pack DLC |
| Butterfly | – | Supporter Pack DLC |
| Dragon | – | Supporter Pack DLC |
How to Use Pets
Once you have unlocked a pet, you will find it under the Pets section under the Formation tab. Select each one to check out their passive abilities. Even if you don’t deploy a pet, its abilities will still remain active. Personally, I found keeping pets around seems to provide small perks like increasing gold multipliers, increasing chest drops, and more. Since each pet offers unique perks, here is a list of passive abilities that the pet will supply.
| Pet | Perk |
| Bat | 10% increased Common chest drop chance multiplier, 15% increased EXP gain |
| Watcher | 15% increased Gold per kill |
| Burning Skeleton | 10% increased Stage Boss chest drop chance multiplier |
| Blue Golem | 15% increased Common chest drop chance multiplier |
| Dark Spirit | 15% increased Stage Boss chest drop chance multiplier |
| Sword | 15% increased EXP gain |
| Butterfly | 10% increased Gold per kill |
| Dragon | 20% increased Common chest drop chance, 15% increased Gold per kill, 20% increased EXP gain |
