Punishing: Gray Raven Tier List 2025 – Best Constructs to Build This Year

The Punishing Gray Raven Tier List is more crucial than ever as the game’s meta keeps shifting. With new Constructs, updated game modes, and tougher bosses, choosing the right characters to invest in has become essential. The latest Norman Revival Plan and increased difficulty in Phantom Pain Cage (PPC) have completely changed team-building strategies. Raw damage alone no longer cuts it—you need synergy, time-stop abilities, and well-balanced roles to stay on top.

If you’re wondering which Constructs are worth your resources in 2025, this comprehensive Tier List will guide you through the best choices for Attackers (DPS), Tanks, and Amplifiers/Supports.

How This Tier List Works

This tier list was built on the following evaluation factors:

• Performance in major game modes: PPC, Warzone, Norman Revival
• Team synergy and role flexibility
• Value at higher ranks (SS/SSS)
• Practical usage based on top player dat

Tier Rankings:

• S Tier – Meta-defining, must-build, strong in all content
• A Tier – Very powerful but slightly dependent on synergy or team comps
• B Tier – Situational or niche, viable with proper setup
• C Tier – Outdated or heavily outclassed by newer Constructs
• D/F Tier – Not worth investing in unless for collection or early progression

S-Tier DPS/Attackers

Attackers are your main damage dealers, and in 2025, only a handful dominate the meta thanks to time-stop, burst rotation, and universal mode performance.

Construct	Element	Strengths	Best Modes
Lucia: Pyroath	Fire / Plasma	Fast rotations, insane burst, great synergy with Fire comps	All modes
Selena: Pianissimo	Physical / Ice	Best Physical DPS, high consistency, time-stop utility	All modes

Why They’re Top Tier:

• Lucia: Pyroath has become the gold standard for Fire teams. Her rotations are smooth, and her burst cycles are among the fastest in the game.
• Selena: Pianissimo remains the strongest Physical DPS unit, performing exceptionally well in both solo and team-based content.

A-Tier DPS/Attackers

These Constructs are strong investments but require proper synergy or specific scenarios to shine.

Construct	Element	Key Points
Lamia: Lost Lullaby	Dark	Quick rotations, heavy burst damage
Bianca: Stigmata	Physical / Trueslash	Versatile and consistent across modes
Luna: Oblivion	Nihil	Flexible for multiple comps, strong uptime
Qu: Shukra	Ice	Great rotation speed, powerful Ice synergy
Lucia: Crimson Weave	Lightning/Darkflow	Excellent burst potential, hybrid team utility

Lower Tier DPS (B to F)

Older Constructs or those lacking time-stop mechanics have dropped significantly in value.

Tier	Construct	Reason for Ranking
B	Lee: Hyperreal	Heavily outclassed, limited burst rotation
C	Lucia: Plume	Orb-hungry, lacks time-stop
D	NieR Collab (2B)	Clunky playstyle, outdated mechanics
F	Lucia: Alpha / Entropy	Fully power-crept, zero synergy

S-Tier Tanks

Tanks in PGR aren’t just for defense—they shred enemy defenses and enable huge team damage. In 2025, one tank stands above the rest.

Construct	Element	Strengths
Nanami: Star Trail	Lightning / Burn	High shred uptime, great solo potential, time-stop

Why She’s Top Tier: Nanami: Star Trail provides shred, damage, and utility, making her an irreplaceable tank for endgame content.

A-Tier Tanks

Still strong but slightly behind in overall utility:

• Wanshi: Lucid Dreamer – Ice shred specialist with great uptime
• Watanabe: Epitaph – Fire shred, very stable in long fights
• Hanying: Solacetune – Physical shred with consistent rotation

Lower Tier Tanks (B to D)

• Karenina: Scire – Decent but power-crept by modern options
• Vera: Garnet – Useful in niche situations
• Rosetta: Rigor / Nanami: Starfarer – Outdated and clunky

S-Tier Amplifiers/Supports

Amplifiers are game-changers because they boost DPS output massively while adding secondary utility.

Construct	Element	Why They’re Essential
Vera: Geiravor	Fire / Darkflow	Huge buffs, time-stop utility, quick rotations
Lilith: Daemonissa	Dark / Plasma	Dark team enabler with strong amplification
Ishmael: Parhelion	Nihil	Excellent for damage amplification in all modes

These supports are non-negotiable if you want to optimize your main DPS characters.

Should You Pull or Invest in 2025?

Here’s how to plan based on your spending style:

If You’re Free-to-Play (F2P):

• Focus on one fully functional team per element, starting with Fire or Physical.
• Prioritize Amplifiers—they scale your DPS across multiple teams.

If You’re a Light Spender or Whale:

• Pull for signature weapons to unlock full rotation potential.
• Push Constructs to SS/SSS ranks for better orb cycling and cooldown refunds.
• Invest in top-tier CUBs for extra performance.

The meta will continue to shift with each major update, and endgame content will only get harder. A well-structured team with synergized roles is the key to staying relevant.

• New players: Start with Fire or Physical teams—they’re the most versatile.
• Veteran players: Build full elemental rosters and prioritize S-tier Amplifiers for future-proofing.
