Merciless Difficulty to easy?

[PatrickDJ]

I decided to play on Merciless difficulty because I played this game like 3 times already on the PS4.. But it feels so easy atm I am legit just one shotting all the shadows in the 1st Palace.. and no I don't have any of the DLC Persona's

It could be that you one shot em to make it harder seeing you won't get more Persona's that way but at the same time I feel like with the DLC persona's thats not an issue

Hi I've played this game for 500hrs why is it easy now??????? Please halp?

the problem with the Merciless Difficulty is that any weakness hit is 3 times the damage, so this can wipe your party too.

A lot other player are saying that if you know the enemy weakness, merciless is one of the easier modes.

Hard/no dlc playthrough feels like the definitive P5 experience.

Merciless is rather easy once you have a good understanding of the games combat system and enemies weakness. Though keep in mind with how Merciless works enemies can also kill you super easy too.

You've played the game so many times and know the mechanics of the game well
Combine that with the weak/crit/tech 3x bonus and this is normal

In fact, you should lower the difficulty down to hard if one shotting mooks bothers you for some reason

Yep, because the AI doesn't give too much consideration on weaknesses.

Or rather, it's easier for the human player to take advantage of game mechanics, compared to the AI enemies. So the "it can happen to you too" part of the deal is lessened.
