TBH: Task Bar Hero Wiki

banner

A banner in TBH: Task Bar Hero is a specific gacha lineup or promotional pull offering that determines which units (UR/SSR/SR) and supporter characters are available, which rates and guarantees apply, and what limited rewards or tickets are distributed during the banner period. Banners are the primary way to obtain new or limited units and are central to build planning and event participation.

Types of banners

  • Premium Gasha (プレミアムガシャ): The permanent/rotating baseline banner. It is updated at anniversaries and other milestones. When the Premium Gasha is refreshed, accumulated exchange points are converted into rare medals (they do not carry over unchanged).
  • Pickup / New-Unit PU banners (新ユニットPUガシャ): Time-limited banners that introduce newly released units and supporters. These often include a mix of limited (限定) URs and permanent (恒常) URs plus new SSR/SR additions. Multiple new-unit PU banners appear on schedule (e.g., holiday, crossover, half-anniversary).
  • Event / Collaboration banners: Special banners tied to promotions, collaborations, or external product releases (for example, campaigns tied to Gundam Card Game, Gundam Assemble). These often grant premium gacha tickets via promo codes.
  • Tower / Milestone reward banners: Some banners are tied to Tower rewards or long-term campaigns and may feature exclusive pilot URs as predicted or announced during the event.

What banners contain

  • UR units: Banners list which UR units are available; some URs are limited (限定) and some are permanent (恒常). Limited URs commonly first appear on new-unit PU banners and may be rerun later (initial-limited units can be reissued on specific revival banners).
  • SSR & SR units and pilots: New SSR and SR units/pilots are commonly added alongside UR releases on PU banners.
  • Supporters: Banners frequently include new supporter characters (UR/SSR) that may be limited. Some supporter releases are tied to particular series or be themed (e.g., series tags like SEED or characters paired with a ship).

Common banner mechanics and consumer-facing features

  • Limited vs Permanent: Units marked 限定 (limited) are only available during banner periods unless explicitly rerun. 恒常 (permanent) units are added to the standard pool and can appear in ongoing banners later.
  • Guaranteed pulls and special tickets: Some campaigns (HalfAnniversary, other events) offer special ticket systems — for example, exchanging a set number of dedicated tickets for multiple pulls with guarantees (HalfAnniversary example: 30 special tickets = 46 pulls with 2 URs guaranteed). Event panel missions and login campaigns commonly award these tickets and large amounts of diamonds.
  • Exchange and conversion: When a rotating gacha updates, exchange points earned during the previous banner are converted into rare medals rather than transferring directly to the new banner.
  • Promo codes: Promotional events distribute premium gacha tickets via codes (examples include codes tied to external product launches or global milestones like "700 Million DL"). These codes redeem a Premium Gasha ticket for use on eligible banners.
  • Reruns and revivals: Limited units are occasionally reissued in later PU banners or special revival banners (announced in the schedule). Banner pages will indicate when old limited units are being brought back.

Typical banner schedules and reveals

  • New-unit PU banners are scheduled and announced in advance; multiple scheduled additions across the year are common (end-of-year, anniversary, half-anniversary). Announcements list the new UR/SSR/SR units and new supporters.
  • Some banners coincide with cross-promotions (card game, model lines, other Bandai properties) and include a short campaign period for ticket redemption.
  • Community speculation threads commonly predict future banner types and candidate pilots/units, but only the official banner announcement defines the actual contents and limitations.

Notable player-facing outcomes

  • Banner composition impacts roster balance: new URs and strong distributed units can shift meta and affect the value of older SSR/URs.
  • Ticket economy: Campaign tickets and promo-code tickets are a major source of pulls; managing when to spend tickets guarantees better chance at limited releases.
  • Exchange tracking: Because exchange points are converted when banners update, plan pulls before an update if you are saving exchange progress for a specific banner reward.

Practical banner tips

  • Prioritize spending limited promotional tickets on banners that list the limited URs you want; limited units may not return soon.
  • Watch banner update windows: points toward exchange rewards will be converted at update, so redeem or spend deliberately.
  • Use announced schedules (anniversary, half‑anniversary) and promo-code events to maximize free or guaranteed pulls.
  • For collection or meta reasons, check whether a new UR is permanent (恒常) or limited (限定) before committing large resources.
