At 70 you should easily be able to beat the Reaper.
If you want to make things easy for yourself just equip everyone with the accessory that nulls Bless and Curse and then let the Reaper ambush you.
He will only get one move a turn instead of two.
Debuff his accuracy/evasion and buff your own, whenever I fight him he seems to really like hitting Ann with Bufudyne/Mabufudyne.

If you want to beat him on Hard without using DLC, just let him ambush you and make sure you keep up Marakukaja on your party and Tarunda on him. After that, drop a Magic Ointment on somebody. He'll just spend every turn casting concentrate, and then using Megidolaon, which should be survivable at level 70 hard (it's survivable on lvl 70 on Merciless) without guarding if his attack is debuffed and your defense is buffed.

Highly recommended - Using Mithra, Dionysus or Attis for Thermopylae (whole party Heat Riser for 30 SP when ambushed). If that's not your cup of tea, you can just stick with Makoto + Ann to keep up the buff and debuff and slowly chew away at his health. If your party members are lucky enough to get a Showtime while charged (typically by Futaba) you'll smack him for nearly 1000 damage and possibly end the fight much quicker.

I made pale rider with megidolaon, almighty boost+amp ,auto mataru and makoto with mediarama. It was kinda tough at first when he spammed megidolaon with concentrate for first 3 turns then it was just a matter of time. Beat him at level 64 HARD.

bring some sp/hp recovers too, some magatamas will speed up the process / Megidolaon and boost+amp are possible to obtain by using fusion alarm and internet fusion btw

Ill see how it goes, like I said I dont mind cheesing it if I get annoyed and tbh I didnt really prepare last time but sure.

Welp, killed him on easy since safe seemed a bit too cheesy as its essentially unloosable. I could have proberly done it on normal with my current setup though. He really likes spamming insta kill curse attack. Its also how I found out that hitting a critical then doing an all out attack reverts an ambush into a normal fight which I didnt know.

Prepare an Izanagi-no-okami, with the following skills:
- Myriad Truths (comes with izanagi-no-okami)
- Victory Cry (comes with izanagi-no-okami)
- Magic Ability (from online fusion)
- Almighty Boost (comes with izanagi-no-okami)
- Almighty Amp (from online fusion)
- Spell Master (electric chair moon lv55 tsukiyomi picaro)
- Drain Bless (priestess lv83 cybele learns this skill at lv87, need priestess coop lv10)
- Drain Curse (alarm electric chair hanged man lv82 attis, need hanged man coop lv10)

If you don't have the coop lv10 for drain bless&curse, you can use null/repel instead, these are easier to get. During alarm, fuse any two personas to get a golden persona, and feed this golden persona to izanagi-no-okami using alarm gallow. This triggers an accident and will not gain any exp but the status will go up for 10 points in total. Use this method to buff all status to 99.

Buffs: Neo Cadenza (unique skill to fools lv11 Orpheus F), Debilitate (Goro Akechi has this skill so bring him), Concentrate (use ring/crystal of greed, accessory from will seed in okumura's palace).

Turn 1 buff joker, turn 2 use Myriad Truths, and you one shot reaper. Also let reaper ambush you, so reaper only takes one move per turn. If you start the fight then reaper takes two moves per turn.

I honestly wonder if theres a way to do this fight legit without dlc persona on hard. Now that I wouldnt blame people for bragging about.

Oh you don’t actually need the dlc persona to do this. Just replace izanagi-no-okami with any other persona, replace myriad of truth with megidolaon and victory cry with drain physical. Neo Cadenza isn’t really needed here. Just take one or two additional turns and reaper is gone.

And there is always other ways to get the skills. Don’t have to use electric chair. Just use save n load and alarm gallow. You can basically give a persona any skill you want as long as the skill is not unique to a specific persona.
