Pre-Endgame in NG+ Balance and Builds

[Ratsplat]

Your damage is going to be enough to annihilate everything, but do enemies before endgame also just barely hurt you? I was thinking we should try to put together builds that can make it more balanced if at all.

Taking off all damage Luminas and using the 2 turn/50% picto should help, but as I've yet to go into NG+, I've no idea if it will do much if anything. Will likely just wait for potential updates to make it all more enjoyable. NG+ should be about more than just Simon at the end again and again.

NG+ barely adds enough challenge for me. I had to use mods to add extra levels/hp on top of what NG+ adds
