· This section provides a general overview of Task Bar Hero's rune system, explains the function of each rune, and guides you on efficient gold usage.
· When starting the game, you must unlock the 'War Rune' first. Afterward, it's crucial to sequentially unlock the 'Command Rune' to secure additional hero slots.
· Finally, unlocking the 'Awakening Rune' to expand skill slots will allow you to use a total of three characters and two skills.

Rune Type	Effect
War Rune	Basic unlock at game start
Command Rune	Additional hero slots (up to 3 total)
Awakening Rune	Additional skill slots (up to 2 total)

· To level up runes, you need gold, and to efficiently acquire gold, gaining experience (XP) is important.
· Defeating monsters in higher-tier and more difficult worlds yields more experience and gold, making character leveling essential for game progression.
· The Experience Rune accelerates character leveling, helping you farm more gold, while the Gold Rune is used to upgrade the Experience Rune. Since these two runes are interdependent, it's important to grow them in balance.

· As the rune tree deepens, the cost of upgrading runes increases, making it inefficient to focus solely on one type of rune.
· For example, instead of upgrading a single rune slot with 20 million gold, it's much more beneficial to spend that gold to evenly grow multiple rune trees to about half their potential.
· Therefore, investing half of your total gold into Experience Runes and the other half into Gold Runes, growing both rune trees in balance, ensures optimal cost efficiency.

· Among Experience Runes, 'Bonus Experience', 'Boss Experience', and 'Increased Acquisition' are the most efficient. Especially, the 'Increased Acquisition' rune is the most important as it boosts experience gain from all in-game activities.
· The 'Act Boss Experience' rune has a lower priority early on because you don't defeat that boss frequently. However, it's worth considering later in the game when you have more gold.
· For Gold Runes, all are useful except for 'Act Boss Gold'. Similar to Experience Runes, the Act Boss Gold Rune yields gold from bosses you don't defeat often, making it less efficient.

· The ultimate goal of the game is to acquire reward chests, making the 'Increased Reward Chest Drop Rate' rune very important.
· The 'Increased Normal Chest Rate' rune is beneficial for early item farming, so it's recommended to invest in it first.
· The 'Increased Boss Chest Rate' rune is also useful, but the 'Increased Act Boss Chest Rate' rune has a lower priority as you don't defeat Act Bosses frequently. Currently, reward chest drops are disabled due to a bug, but since rewards are given hourly, it's good to check periodically.

· The three most crucial rune trees for game progression are Experience, Gold, and Reward Chest Drop Rate.
· These three rune trees are organically interconnected, and it's important to level them up in balance.
· For example, if you have 10 million gold, you should balance it by investing 5 million in Experience Runes and the remaining 5 million in Gold Runes.
· Once rune upgrade costs start becoming expensive, it's ideal to prioritize investing in relatively cheaper rune trees to match their levels, and then maintain all three core rune trees at the same level.

· The 'Increased Offline Reward Gain' rune must be activated as it allows you to gain experience and gold even when the game is closed. Without this rune, game progression can significantly slow down.
· The 'Increased Cube Experience' rune provides additional experience when enhancing or selling cubes.
· The 'Hero Buff' rune is an option to consider when facing difficulties during gameplay. For instance, a rune that increases the attack power of all heroes can save points that would otherwise be spent on character skill leveling. This rune can be useful depending on the situation.
