Punishing: Gray Raven 2025 Tier List – Best Constructs by Role

With new Constructs, game modes, and power creep constantly shifting the meta, knowing who to build in Punishing: Gray Raven can be overwhelming. The rise of Norman Revival Plan and upgraded bosses in Phantom Pain Cage (PPC) has also changed how we evaluate Constructs—raw damage isn’t enough anymore.

This 2025 Tier List ranks every major Construct based on combat performance, investment value, and mode relevance. Whether you’re clearing Norman, climbing Warzone, or bursting through PPC, this list will guide you through the must-haves and meta-breakers. And if you’re ready to build the strongest versions of these characters, you can always top up fast via LootBar.

How this Tier List Works

 

We evaluated characters based on the following:

 

  • Performance in major game modes: PPC, Warzone
  • Team synergy and role flexibility
  • Investment payoff at SS/SSS
  • Personal experience and leaderboard use

 

Tier Breakdown

 

  • S: Meta-defining, must-pull, or top-tier across multiple modes.
  • A: Very strong, worth investing in with synergy.
  • B: Niche or mode-dependent, but useful with the right setup. It's clunky compared to A tiers.
  • C: Outdated or heavily outclassed, often used for filler or F2P.
  • D: Only used if you don’t have any options left.
  • F: Heavily power crept.

 

S Rank Attackers/DPS Tier List

 

Attacker tier list. S rank: Pyroath, Pianissimo. A rank: Lamia, Stigmata, Oblivion, Shukra, Crimson Weave. B rank: Hyperreal. C rank: Plume, Laurel. D rank: A2. F rank: Alpha, Entropy, Veritas

Notes

Capriccio icon

Selena: Capriccio

Dark

Very clunky to use, requires so many resources, very little damage.

Luminance icon

Liv: Luminance

Physical

Low damage, sub-par buffs, no time-stop.

 

Amplifiers/Supports in this range are very old and denied a leap. They may help in early stages or F2P setups but aren't long-term investments for high-tier play.

 

Should You Pull or Invest?

 

 

If you're F2P or a light spender, your goal should be to build one complete team per element, starting with the element of the current PPC boss or Warzone.

 

F2P Tips:

 

  • Stick to S-rank Constructs from the event banner.
  • Prioritize Amplifiers—they elevate your DPS investment across teams.

 

Light/Whale Spender Tips:

 

  • Pull for signature weapons (e.g., Deathless Flame for Vera).
  • Push SS/SSS ranks for orb cycling and skill refunds.
  • Invest in top-tier CUBs.

 

Want to speed up investment or get guaranteed pulls? You can top up through LootBar safely and access Construct bundles with upgrade materials.

 

Conclusion

 

With new constructs arriving regularly and content difficulty steadily rising, understanding who to pull and build is more important than ever. The 2025 tier list reflects not just raw stats, but real performance, rotation synergy, and weekly mode success.

 

If you're a new player: focus on building a strong Fire or Physical team first.

 

If you're a veteran: prioritize Amplifiers and full teams per element to stay leaderboard-ready.

 

Whether you're here for top scores, stylish clears, or account flexing—building a tiered and synergized roster will carry you across every game mode.
