Punishing Gray Raven Construct Classes Explained

In Punishing Gray Raven, the official terminology used for characters is “Constructs”. These constructs or characters come in different rarities and assume a specific role. This role is decided by their class. Some PGR classes are good at dealing damage, while others are great at absorbing incoming damage. To build a strong Punishing Gray Raven team, you will need to know about the different character classes. All Punishing Gray Raven construct classes are as follows:

• Attacker – Attackers in Punishing Gray Raven are your core DPS characters that deal massive damage to enemies. Their entire kit is geared towards dealing damage, leaving little to no room for defensive capabilities. 
• Amplifier – In Punishing Gray Raven, Amplifiers are the class of characters that are oriented towards enhancing combat efficiency of allies. These constructs provide utility buffs and strengthening mechanics that aid in your overall DPS, survivability, and more.
• Annihilator – The Annihilator constructs in Punishing Gray Raven are geared towards dealing damage, just like Attackers. However, the main difference comes in their playstyle. Annihilators can merge elements and deal multiple types of damage at once, being more effective in certain game modes.
• Vanguard – Vanguards in PGR are your titular burst damage dealers. Such constructs are very efficient in dealing tons of burst skill damage, thanks to their high-scaling damage numbers. Players can pick up Vanguards to mostly destroy boss fights.
• Support – Supports in Punishing Gray Raven are those constructs who specialize in providing buffs to allies. Support constructs also have multiple healing abilities in their arsenal, making them a must-use for any high-level team.
• Tank – In Punishing Gray Raven, the Tank constructs are those characters who have exceptionally high HP and defensive stats. Such characters are ideal for absorbing damage from high-scaling enemy skills. 

Punishing Gray Raven Tier List Factors 

With over 60+ different constructs in Punishing Gray Raven, and new ones being added every month, it can be tough to rank them all. While building this Punishing Gray Raven tier list, we ranked all the available characters based on several factors. These factors served as a common test which we put all characters through. Check out the factors affecting our PGR tier list below:

• Rarity of Character – Constructs in PGR come in various rarities. The higher the rarity of the construct, the stronger they are generally considered. This is primarily due to higher base stats, and better QTE abilities. In PGR, constructs come in B-rank, A-rank, and S-rank. Naturally, the S-rank constructs were given higher priority in the tier list rankings.
• Performance – At the end of the day, the performance of a construct is all it boils down to. We couldn’t rank constructs based on just their rarity, as every character is unique. To help with the rankings being fair, the performance of each individual construct was taken into consideration.
• Community Rankings – To ensure our PGR tier list was accurate from a community perspective, we also took a look at the different community-made tier lists. This helped us rectify any mistakes in the rankings by seeing what other players considered as good characters.
