Hello, Commandants! Harmony Awakening, the newest weapon upgrade level, has arrived in Punishing: Gray Raven from the latest updates, bringing better effects and skill boosts to Selena’s signature weapon as the first Harmony Awakening for the game. But how does this system work, and what materials do you need to upgrade? Don’t worry, we’ll cover everything in this Punishing: Gray Raven Harmony Awakening guide, from Harmony Awakening and farming materials to the first Harmony Awakening details. So, let’s get started!
Looking for a faster way to get Selena’s signature weapon and unleash the power of her first Harmony Awakening? Then topping up Punishing: Gray Raven through Enjoygm can help. With this cost-effective top-up service, you can purchase Rainbow Card bundles and use them for Weapon Banner pulls, giving you a better chance to grab Orpheus’ Lullaby and unlock Selena’s full potential from early on.
What is Punishing: Gray Raven Weapon Harmony?
Weapon Harmony in Punishing: Gray Raven is a permanent upgrade system only for the 6-star signature weapons for specific characters in the game. This special upgrade system is only available once your Commandant reaches level 80+.
When you Harmonize a weapon, there are two main things that happen:
- The weapon gains a Harmony level that lets you bind a 2-piece Memory set effect to it.
- Normally, you can equip 6 Memory pieces, such as a 4-piece set + 2-piece set. But with Harmony, your weapon gives you another free 2-piece set bonus.
This is a big power boost and gives you more freedom to improve your build. All you need is the right 6★ Signature Weapon and Harmony materials. However, this Weapon Harmony feature is independent of character rank, Ultima Awakening, Hypertuning, and Character Leap. So, it’s better to Harmanize the weapon of the combatant you use the most for your teams.
What is Punishing: Gray Raven Harmony Awakening?
Harmony Awakening (also called Harmony II) is the next level of the Weapon Harmony system. It was added in the most recent update of Solitude and Stillness.
You can only activate Harmony Awakening after you already have normal Weapon Harmony for the 6-star signature weapons. When you activate Harmony Awakening, you will get advantages like:
- Stronger passive skill effects unique to that weapon/wielder
- Skill level boosts
- Further increases to the Construct’s combat power.
After you unlock normal Weapon Harmony through Harmony materials, you can further increase the Construct’s combat power. You need a special material called Harmony Amplifier to further enhance it into Harmony Awakening.
Note: The first weapon to get Harmony Awakening is Orpheus’ Lullaby, which is Selena: Pianissimo’s 6-star signature weapon. More weapons will get this upgrade in future patches.
What are the Materials Needed for Harmonizing?
There are three key materials that are used for this weapon upgrading system, and each has a different role in helping with the weapon upgrade. So, let’s see what the Punishing: Gray Raven materials for harmonizing are and what they are used for.
| Material | What Is It Used For? |
| Harmony Accelerator | Used to unlock base Weapon Harmony (Level 1). This is the first step that allows the weapon to give an extra 2-piece Memory set effect.You need 25 Harmony Accelerator per weapon |
| Special Support Token | Used to bind (activate) a specific 2-piece Memory set on a weapon that already has base Harmony unlocked. After binding, the weapon permanently gives you that extra 2-piece set effect in battle. You can change the bound set later, but each new binding costs another 1,200 tokens. |
| Harmony Amplifier | Used to activate Harmony Awakening on a weapon that already has base Harmony. It gives stronger passive effects and skill level boosts to the Construct. |
How to Farm Harmony Materials?
The main and recommended way to farm all three Harmony Materials is through the permanent Clash Reflection game mode. This game mode unlocks at Level 80 and is one of the best ways to collect Harmony Materials.
To make farming easier, here are some basic things to know about Clash Reflection:
- Resets every 14 days (bi-weekly).
- You fight through 14 consecutive stages, and your team is locked once you start a run.
- Your character’s HP and Signature Energy carry over between stages.
- You can earn Harmony Materials mainly through two reward paths: Operator Rewards, which increase based on the enemies you defeat, and Challenge Rewards, which you earn by meeting time limits and achieving win streaks on certain stages.
- You can also earn bonus materials from achievements, such as clearing new boss rotations for the first time.
Apart from Clash Reflection, you can also get Harmony Materials from the Phantom Pain Scar Exchange or by using Trade Vouchers.
Selena’s Harmony Awakening: First Harmony Awakening
Selena: Pianissimo’s signature weapon, Orpheus’ Lullaby, was the very first weapon to receive the Punishing: Gray Raven Harmony Awakening (Harmony II) upgrades.
Selena’s gameplay focuses on Musical Notes, Solo and Flow states, cello and rapier attacks, Glaciation, and powerful Physical damage. Even before Harmony Awakening, Orpheus’ Lullaby (Signature Weapon) helps her by increasing ATK, generating Signal Orbs, and boosting her damage through her note mechanics.
After collecting Harmony Materials and unlocking the Harmony Awakening, Orpheus’ Lullaby (Signature Weapon) gets the Frostbound Finale skill to become even stronger. Its new effects improve damage, Signal Orb generation, and skill levels, making Selena’s rotations smoother and more powerful. Selena is already a strong Physical attacker; however, with the Harmony Awakening upgrade, she becomes an even better damage dealer and helps the team handle tougher competitive challenges more easily.
Tip for Getting Selena’s Signature Weapon: If you want to get Selena’s signature weapon and enjoy the power of her first Harmony Awakening, you can top up Punishing: Gray Raven through Enjoygm. This way, you can purchase Rainbow Card bundles at cheaper prices and a more secured way. Then use them to pull from the Weapon Banner to increase your chances of getting Selena’s signature weapon into your hands.
Should You Harmony Awakening Selena?
When you’re playing with Selena: Pianissimo or already have her signature weapon, Orpheus’ Lullaby, progressing toward unlocking Punishing: Gray Raven Harmony Awakening is worth it to make her a more powerful damage dealer in your battles.
However, if you’re still deciding whether you should obtain your first Harmony Awakening for Selena or skip it, you can use the tips below from our Punishing: Gray Raven Harmony Awakening guide.
Why Is It Worth It?
- Higher Damage: Selena is a strong Physical damage dealer. The extra skill levels and stronger weapon effects help her deal more damage and make her rotations smoother.
- Free-to-Play Friendly: You can get the required materials from Clash Reflection and the initial mail gift (25 Accelerators + 50 Amplifiers), so you do not need to spend heavily.
- Early Benefit: As the first weapon to receive Harmony Awakening, Selena can take advantage of this new system before it expands to other weapons.
When Should You Skip or Delay It?
- You Don’t Have Her Signature Weapon: Both regular Harmony and Punishing: Gray Raven Harmony Awakening require her 6★ Signature Weapon.
- You’re Still in the Early Game: If your account is still progressing, it may be better to save your materials for more important team upgrades, especially strong Physical supports, tanks, or amplifiers.
- You Don’t Use Physical Teams: If you rarely play Physical content or mainly use other elements, Harmony Awakening for Selena may not be your highest priority.
Conclusion
And with that, we’ve reached the end of our Punishing: Gray Raven Harmony Awakening guide! Now you know how Harmony works, which materials you need, and how to unlock Selena’s powerful first Harmony Awakening. Use these tips wisely, gather your materials, and upgrade Orpheus’ Lullaby to unleash Selena’s true potential in battle!
