Other characters: *outclassing each other*

Meanwhile Nanami: Only Nanami can outclass Nanami!

This channel is a godsend to new players because the clean editing and presentation of information is both easy to understand and interesting to watch. I really appreciate the videos!

I started playing PGR once the pc client released and from then my R&D pulls have just pushed me in the direction of the physical Bianca attacker frame. Before I even used my S-rank selector I had already pulled Rosetta early on and only thought it fitting to get Liv luminance and Lucia alpha from the selectors from there, so I'm ready to go once Bianca's new frame comes out.

[sirajthecatlord]

This list in a nutshell: Everyone after Bianca Physical is meta.
Oh and there's Liv Empyrea

[indiereaper]

i pull for the meta to clear content, and favs to have fun, although some characters fill both roles lol

[TiburionGG]

Now THIS is the format of a Tier List video.

Can we please make this the golden standar? It is the first time I finished or even cared about a video about power levels in any game at all

[GrayRavenRadio]

It can be hard to choose which S-Ranks to use your selectors on or which ones to save up for in the future. This video should make those tough decisions a little easier!
EDIT: Accidentally wrote "Physical" on the bottom of Lamia's info card. When she comes out she'll be the best DARK attacker through at least the end of 2024!

[KyleFreezeAnimation]

Enemies after Balter released has become more complicated and challenging, which is why constructs after Balter patches have playstyle and core passive to master despite having high damage output

Welcome to W̶a̶t̶c̶h̶M̶o̶j̶o̶ Gray Raven Radio, and today we’re counting down our picks for the Top 10 Meta Characters in PGR

[IIISFlIl]

This channel hits my niche so weirdly perfectly.. Never thought a PGR content creator would use so much toby fox music

I still listen to those tracks almost a decade later and played PGR even b4 i discovered the channel too its wild

Edit: omg and now they played "the world is mine" at the outro!? I only discovered that song like 2 weeks ago bc of a rhythm game!!!

[Bittexu]

Luna should really be very high priority. There is much time until Lamia comes out, and dark is so strong with the option for Vera Rozen which gets a leap upgrade way before Lamia, Selena is free to obtain by grinding and 21 is another pretty good tank that is not far behind Kamui. Creating a team with 2 standard banner characters is really easy for a beginner!

[ducontra]

playing meta: smal brain
playing your favorites: big brain
playing your favorites that is aslo the meta: transcends

[caiocomarella]

Can u guys do a similar one showing the sigs and pets priority? Would help a ton, great video as always 😊

[doommaker]

Could you do a similar list for A ranks? I'm actually itnerested to see how BRS will compare to launch A ranks and how they compare to current global ones

[Rayjii]

thanks alot for this!! i started PGR two days ago haha

[unknown_unfound]

Gray Raven radio back at it again providing the best content for players of this game. I wish I had such content when I started the game so thank you for doing this

[_shirou]

ok but im lowkey rly grateful there's still ppl who make pgr videos cuz I'm a new player rn a lot of the og YouTubers are alrdy gone tysm for continuing to make videos <3

[Ossuum]

Selena entry is kinda misleading in that it doesn't mention that the comparison with Rozen only holds in Laurel teams which don't have any room for swapping in. She's still BiS at S rank if the dark dps is Astral or Scire - anyone that runs out of orbs, basically.

[summrxs]

It takes approximately two seconds of watch time before I realize this will once again be another banger


Also love it when the characters you want the most are meta(can't wait for balter and alpha CW)

[Arda_Aragato]

Thanks for the videos! Your videos are so damn good and I can already imagine that a lot of new players will be very happy and lucky to have the chance to watch this kind of quality

[ThatGuy-ncnf]

I started PGR a year ago, and went on a year long hiatus because of school, and I came back to an abundance of characters, it's guides like this that is pretty helpful to me to give an idea of who to save for and what not
