Don Tonberry

Opening of the battle against a Don Tonberry in the Monster Arena Calm Lands

HP: 480,000

Defeating Don Tonberry is one of the primary strategies involved when it comes to quickly leveling your characters. Check out the Quick Leveling page for additional information:

Don Tonberry’s most punishing attack is called Karma. It deals damage according to the following formula:

Damage = (Total Number of Enemies Defeated by Target) * 100

This calculation means that characters that you have been playing with a lot, and who have managed to land the killing blow on enemies, will get hit for a ton of damage. Sometimes it can be for as much as 99,999 HP worth of damage.

Be prepared to deal with fairly regular KO’s during this fight. Make sure that your characters have the Ability IconAuto-Phoenix auto-ability attached to their armor and a healthy complement of Orange Vial Item IconPhoenix Downs for when your characters are KO’d.

Aside from Karma, this battle is just a matter of slowly grinding down Don Tonberry’s HP and does not require any additional strategies.
