Punishing Grey Raven Tier List: Best Constructs Ranked
With Norman Revival Plan, upgraded Phantom Pain Cage bosses, and constant meta shifts, choosing the right Constructs in Punishing: Gray Raven has never been more critical. Here’s our comprehensive tier list ranking every major Construct based on performance, investment value, and endgame relevance for October 2025.
How This Tier List Works
This ranking evaluates Constructs based on:
- Performance in major modes: Phantom Pain Cage (PPC), Warzone, Norman Revival Plan
- Team synergy and role flexibility
- Investment payoff at higher ranks (SS/SSS)
- Meta relevance and future-proofing
Rankings focus on overall utility rather than single-mode dominance (LootBar tier analysis, Joytify comprehensive guide).
SS Tier: Meta-Defining Must-Pulls
Fire: Lucia: Pyroath, Watanabe: Epitaph, Vera: Geiravor
Ice: Wanshi: Lucid Dreamer, Bianca: Stigmata
Lightning: Hanying: Solacetune, Selena: Capriccio, Liv: Empyrea
Dark: Lamia: Lost Lullaby, No. 21: Feral
Physical: Lucia: Crimson Weave, Qu: Shukra
These Constructs dominate all endgame content and are essential for competitive play. Lucia: Pyroath leads Fire teams with massive AoE damage and form-switching mechanics, while Bianca: Stigmata remains the Ice DPS queen (PocketTactics tier list, LDShop meta breakdown).
S Tier: Powerful with Proper Setup
Notable S-Tier Constructs:
- Karenina: Scire – Dark Tank with incredible burst damage and resistance reduction
- Luna: Oblivion – Versatile Dark Attacker, still meta-relevant
- Ishmael: Parhelion – Strong Lightning support with unique mechanics
- Nanami: Startrail – Reliable Physical Tank option (GameRant S-Rank analysis)
These Constructs excel in specific team compositions and remain competitive with investment.
A Tier: Situational but Viable
Includes Liv: Lux, Vera: Rozen, Changyu: Qilin, and Jetavie: Daybreak. Strong options for newer players or specialized content, though they require more setup than higher tiers.
B-C Tier: Outdated or Niche
Many launch Constructs like Nanami: Storm and Lucia: Lotus fall here—useful for early progression but quickly outclassed by newer releases.
Investment Priorities
New Players: Focus on one complete elemental team (SS-tier Attacker + Tank + Support)
Veterans: Chase SS-tier meta units for competitive ranking
F2P: Prioritize versatile S-tier options that work across multiple modes
The October 2025 meta favors high-damage dealers with strong team synergy. Invest in SS-tier Constructs for future-proofing, and remember that elemental coverage matters more than raw power. Stay updated with community discussions on Reddit and tier list updates from trusted sources.
