Punishing: Gray Raven Tier List

This board ranks every meta-relevant Construct in Punishing: Gray Raven by how much raw clearing power it brings to the modes that actually decide a roster's ceiling: the single-target boss gauntlet of Phantom Pain Cage and the rotating multi-stage War Zone. Placements assume a fully invested Construct at max Resonance with its signature weapon and a competent team built around its element, so the axis is real endgame output and rotation comfort, not tutorial-stage convenience. It covers all 83 Constructs released on Global, including the NieR: Automata, Devil May Cry and BLACK★ROCK SHOOTER collab units, spanning Attackers, Tanks and Amplifiers.

S tier is where the current ceiling lives. Newest flagships like Lucia: Inverse Crown, Kamui: Aeternion, Nirvatia: Dirge and Liv: Limpidity sit alongside evergreen hypercarries and best-in-slot amplifiers such as Rosetta: Arete, Ishmael: Parhelion, Bianca: Stigmata, Lucia: Pyroath and the recent headline arrival Helentine: Lacrimosa, the first Amplifier to serve both the Lightning and Glaciation rosters. A tier is the deep, still-excellent backbone: prior-generation carries and supports that clear everything but no longer set records. B tier holds the aging former staples the power curve has walked past, and C tier is the starter and early-banner Constructs kept for collection value and low-Resonance history, not for a serious War Zone score.

These are provisional editor placements, and PGR players hold strong opinions about exactly which Attacker owns the top of the boss race. If you are pushing max Pain Cage scores leaning on a Construct we filed in A or B, or you think a fading name is coasting on reputation, vote it up or down and settle it. The best Construct is the one whose element and team you have actually built, so push these tiers toward what genuinely carries your endgame.
