What is harder when looking for a challenge in a new run?
I got really into the gameplay, first time I actually wanted to "git gud", playing on explorer the only challenges were endless tower and Simon (still haven't beaten him, got him down to 10% a couple times, but my other 2 guys were not used all game -_-) - these two instances are also when I started parrying and really got the hang of it - I beat the rest of the game facetanking and dodging.

If I really want to get challenged now, do I start a fresh run on Expert or NG+ on Expert? My characters are kinda busted and I don't like gimping myself on purpose.
