How Damage Is Calculated in Task Bar Hero

The damage system in TBH: Task Bar Hero combines your equipped gear stats, active runes, skill levels, and character attributes. Our taskbar hero calculator implements these formulas so you can see exactly how each piece of equipment affects your final damage output. Here is how each stat contributes to your DPS.

Strength — Your Primary Damage Stat

Every point of strength increases your base weapon damage by approximately 0.5%. If you have a weapon with 100 base damage and 50 strength, your raw hit damage becomes 100 × (1 + 50 × 0.005) = 125. Strength is the single most impactful stat for physical damage builds. When choosing between two pieces of gear, the one with higher strength will almost always produce higher DPS — but you should also consider how strength interacts with crit and attack speed.

Critical Hit Chance and Critical Damage

Critical strikes multiply your damage. The base crit chance starts at 5%, and the base crit multiplier starts at 150% (1.5× normal damage). Gear and runes can increase both values. The expected value of critical hits is calculated as: raw damage × (1 + crit chance × (crit multiplier − 1)). For example, with 20% crit chance, 200% crit damage, and 100 base hit damage, your expected damage per swing is 100 × (1 + 0.20 × (2.0 − 1)) = 120. Our taskbar hero calculator automatically computes this crit expectation for every gear combination you select.

Attack Speed and Intelligence

Attack speed determines how many attacks you land per second. The base attack speed of your weapon is modified by intelligence — each point of intelligence adds approximately 0.2% attack speed. A weapon with 1.0 base attack speed and 50 intelligence results in 1.0 × (1 + 50 × 0.002) = 1.1 attacks per second. Combined with your expected damage per hit, this gives your final DPS. Faster weapons benefit more from flat damage bonuses; slower weapons with high base damage benefit more from crit and percentage boosts.

All Damage Bonus

Some accessories and rare items grant an "all damage" percentage bonus. This multiplier applies after strength and base damage calculations, making it exceptionally powerful at higher levels. A 10% all damage bonus on a hit that already deals 200 damage adds 20 extra damage — applied before crit, which then amplifies it further. This is why endgame builds often prioritize accessories with all-damage stats over pure strength.

Best in Slot by Level

Level 20: The Sword of Ash paired with a Bone Shield provides strong early-game survivability. The Helm of the Champion adds strength, and the Chestplate of Devotion contributes armor and vitality — ideal for surviving Zone 15-22 while maintaining solid damage output.

Level 40: Upgrade to the Ember Blade for a significant damage increase (+78 base damage with fire damage bonus). The Dragon Crest Buckler replaces your Bone Shield, adding block chance and fire resistance — crucial for the fire-heavy enemies in Zone 35-45.

Level 60: The Crown of Storms is the standout item at this tier — it adds 25 intelligence and a lightning damage bonus that scales well into the mid-game. Combined with Gauntlets of Fury for crit chance and Greaves of the Wind for dodge, this build balances offense and defense.

Level 80: Endgame: Void Reaper Scythe is the highest-DPS weapon currently in the game. The Mirror of Eternity offhand provides unmatched block chance, and the Shroud of the Void adds armor plus void resistance for the final zones. This combination maximizes both damage and survivability.
