New Game Plus leveling

[SnowxSakura]

If you're feeling lazy and don't want to grind, there's one cheesey way you can level up fast(this only works if you're playing on safe difficulty)Once you have access to mementos 2nd area, wait around until the reaper shows up(you'll probably be around level 11-15 at the time)and fight him. With the infinite retries on safe, you can slow brute force the reaper to death, and he gives 196,500 exp before social link exp buffs. It's enough to take you from 15 to 42

I was wondering if you could brute force him again, like in Golden. Thanks for the info!

Do you actually need to level up on NG+ when you have access to all your OP Personas from the first play? =D

every little stat counts, especially in end game, especially since it takes quite awhile to level up unless you truly grind

 

should also be noted if you want 100% compendium, you need to hit level 95 minimum in new game plus to fuse one of the personas

You can also just wait for the influenza warning, then go to Mementos and keep engaging/escaping the reaper until he's in a "despair" state. He'll die automatically in a few turns. Rinse and repeat.

Can also equip ann with the whip that has a high chance of despair

 

edit: it's called envy chain, reward from a request

Not even necessary. With the items you get from your first playthrough, which boost your exp exponentially, leveling is never a problem. I played 90% of my NG+ in rush mode.

And even that, having the strongest weapons, equipment and personas, and skipping almost all the dialogue, except for some special ones, it took 40 hours. No idea how anybody manages to beat this game in 50 hours without skipping significant shit.

I'm at 90+ hours on the 1st play through and only just beat the cruise ship.

Your level resets to 1 in new game+ just food for thought

Yeah I took advantage of this method, boosted all the way up to lvl 100 just to beat those damn twins lol
