STAGE REFERENCE / CHECKED AUG 21, 2026

Task Bar Hero stages: push only when the next clear is repeatable.

The official game page confirms three Acts and four difficulty tiers. The new Plaguelands stage type is only described in a development note, so Atlas keeps it separate from the current stage structure and route advice.

Plaguelands preview

The Aug 19 official dev note describes Plaguelands as a tougher stage type available from Nightmare difficulty onward, using Corruption and selectable Plague Intensity. It is planned content, not a current route or published reward table.

Stage test checklist

  1. Write the Act, difficulty and stage you are testing.
  2. Classify the failure: wave time, a boss, or survival.
  3. Change one relevant input, then repeat the same target.
  4. Keep the route only if its result is repeatable on v1.01.05.
