This fight has 3 main phases: 1st phase features a lone Tonberry; 2nd phase features two waves of three Tonberries; and the last phase where you will face the Tonberry King himself. Note that the Tonberries have only 5 MND, meaning a white mage with a decent MND stat (Tyro) can keep Tonberry Stop-locked for quite a long duration. PHASE 1 In this phase, you will fight a lone Tonberry: Every turn Tonberry will take a step forward and attack a party member. Defeating this lone Tonberry will begin Phase 2. Stop him if you have to. He can also be Slowed and Interrupted (and also Paralyze but only for this phase) PHASE 2 When Phase 2 begins, three Tonberries will spawn: You will immediately notice the colored circular tiles under the Tonberries. These colours correspond to different statuses: Red is Stop, White is Slow, Blue is Interrupt. The significance of these coloured circles is that whichever circle a Tonberry is standing on, the corresponding status effect will have double hit rate. As the Tonberries start on the Red circles, it is highly recommended that you use Halting Rumba to effectively land Stop on all three. From there it’s all about dealing as much damage as possible. AoEs are highly recommended. Other than being Stopped, the Tonberries can actually do some damage if left uncontrolled. Each turn before attacking, a Tonberry will move half a step forward. Other than at the beginning of Phase 2, If all three Tonberries are aligned vertically, your party will be hit by Nightmare Chef’s Knife. When the three Tonberries are defeated, a second wave of three Tonberries will spawn: You will notice that the coloured circles have swapped places and that the Tonberries are not perfectly aligned at the start. The strategy does not change, control them and deal as much damage as you can. Do note that since there are no longer red circles (or rather none of them are on a red circle), Stop will not gain boosted hit rate. Defeating this second wave will begin the last phase. PHASE 3 Finally you face Tonberry King! There are no gimmicks in this last phase, kill him before he kills you. He is pretty fast and since he’s immune to Slow and Stop, your only way of controlling him is by Interrupt. Video #1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIuGSlPe_GM
