When to use it

Says something is even more so than a reference point, usually a past time or a usual level: 例年れいねんにも増まして暑あつい (even hotter than an average year). The fixed forms 何なににも増まして (above all) and 誰だれにも増まして (more than anyone) state top priority. Example: 何なににも増まして健康けんこうが大切たいせつだ.

Nuance

Slightly formal; common in writing, news and speeches, also usable in careful speech. It implies the reference point was already high (the previous week was busy too). The comparison is usually with an earlier time or a general standard.

Compare

～より compares neutrally: 先週せんしゅうより忙いそがしい. ～にも増まして adds "even more than an already high level": 先週せんしゅうにも増まして忙いそがしい. ～にもまして is the same expression in kana. 何なによりも is the everyday version of 何なににも増まして, with the same meaning.

Tip: 以前いぜんにも増まして, 例年れいねんにも増まして and 何なににも増まして are the most common collocations; learn them as whole phrases.
