How to make NG+ harder?

[qiyana's eternal wife]

I'm currently at my second NG+ run in Kamoshida's Castle, i transfered all the data for the next playthrough and equiped all my personas and items and the game is literally click to win (by click to win i mean i can end battles in one turn with Joker, since i have all the good personas like Satanael or Yoshitune), even with Merciless or Hard difficulties. I want to have the items equiped since it looks insanely cool, even the personas with great designs are op in NG+. Any recommendations or help on what should i do?

Use mods. There is a mod on gamebanana called "Level Scaled HP Multiplier" that works well. Of course, use at your own risk.

Just download Reloaded-II. (https://github.com/Reloaded-Project/Reloaded-II/releases)
Go to "Add Application" on the left toolbar of the program.
Hook your .exe.
Then go to "Download Mods" on the top left part of the toolbar.
Search for the aforementioned mod in the search bar.
Click download.
Click the game icon.
Make sure it's on. (It should have a red cross)
Then launch game from the program.

This is steam achievement compatible in case you are wondering.

Enemy HP increase, up to 1000%[gamebanana.com]

Sure, it's a really basic and lame difficulty increase, but at least you'll be able to use all of your powerful Personas without them one-shotting everything.

what i do to increase P5R Diff is whenever possible kill all enemies with All-out attack, yes every enemy including mini boss or perhaps extra boss that can be knocked down i will end them with AoA as many as possible

Mostly i spam Guiding Tendril skill then end fight with AoA, i started Nomal on NG, Hard on NG+ and maybe later Merciless on NG++

i use all kind of persona including InO Picaro or Yoshi but i will try finish off most battles with AoA, no Insta-kill perk from Chariot confidant used also no mods used.

It's truly hard to reduce most enemies' HP w/o actually killing them so i can land AoA on them.

I don't think this would fit my playstyle or made the game more fun for me. Thank you for sharing your playtyle with me though, surely unique one.

Someone already had this idea, i think it's pretty neat, but it feels like i'm damageless without Joker on the other part... I guess i can't do much though. Thank you though.

Makes sense, considering Personas of your teammates do not retain their progress. Early on you can still use them to inflict status ailments, buff Joker, or use debuffs. Better than nothing, I'd say.

Otherwise, the best melee weapons and guns still do adequate damage.

For me, Paradise Lost does like 200 damage.
