Tonberry

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

HP: 13,500

Tonberry, just like Master Tonberry and Don Tonberry, has an attack called “Karma,” which can do a fairly high amount of damage. Tonberry isn’t as strong as Don Tonberry or Master Tonberry. The formula for the damage done by “Karma” is as follows:

Damage = (Total Number of Enemies Defeated by Target) * 10

Other than being prepared to take a ton of damage, there isn’t too much in the way of strategy for defeating a Tonberry. Keep attacking until you bring it down.

If you’re having trouble, you can have Yuna summon an Aeon once Tonberry gets close enough, or have Wakka use Skill IconSleep Buster. A Tonberry won’t counterattack when it is asleep, which will significantly reduce the amount of damage that it does.
