If you can read this, you are not illiterate. Congratulations! Have a cookie.
Besides summoning like, Eden, Tonberries are impossible to deal with in one hit/round, unless you have maxed out Str or something. Those lil beeotches are resilient, and can take a pounding easy and dish out just as much badness too. x_X

My suggestion? Junction 100 Full-Lifes to your HP (or anything that maxes it out is fine. If you can max it using Life or something, save Full-Life for your Spr), and Tornado/Meteor to your Str, with 100 Meltdowns on your Vit. If you need to know where to get any of those magics, ask.

Once you have that set up, save outside the Ruins and go inside. Use summons if you need to, since not only do they do semi-decent damage if they're a decent level and Boost'd, but they also protect you from the effects of Everyone's Grudge and such. If you have Eden, Bahamut, and/or Cactuar, go with them (Cactuar only if you're level 80+), if not, Shiva and co. are all equally useful. Bring along a bunch of G-Hi-Potions and such, or simply bounce between a hotel and the Ruins (or use Cottages), and you'll be fine.

Bounce out every five battles to heal, or sooner if you've killed off all your GFs using my strat, and save. I'm assuming you're trying to get Tonberry (the GF), so keep a list of how many you killed, and when you get to 19, go outside, save, and come back in. Kill the 20th Tonberry and it'll be replaced automatically with Tonberry King. Draw off some Full-Lifes off him if you need them (or used up some of your own trying to survive all those Tonberries), and attack him. Summon while you can, and keep your HP up so that Junk and his other abilities don't kill you. Keep at it and you should be good.


..and if you just meant you were trying to attack Tonberries so you could Card them, and not in order to get Tonberry the GF, ignore me *sweatdrop*

Hope that helps. x_X

Spr raises your magic defense, Vit is basically your physical defense. I never really care to put much effort into them, but you can rather easily put Meltdown on Vit and Full-Life on Spr, which are the ultimate non-Ultima-style magics for each stat, and since besides using Full-Life on, maybe, a char who has Elem-Defx4 (with Life, Shell and...something else, you can get like, 60% absorb all elements xD), neither are all that great on other stats, so *shrugs*

Mostly focus on raising Str and, I suppose, Speed, and Hit/Luck/Eva, since you're likely not going to be using magic on it (magic is really such a waste. Looks pretty, but is almost never as good as just attacking x_X), and I never really saw much of a point to raising defense, either physical or magical. :P

Try messing around with Status-Atk-J, try things like Drain, Pain, Death, etc. on it, and attacking the Tonberries. Drain just gets you some HP back, but if it works, Death on Stat-Atk-J should/would insta-kill it (I'm doubting it'd work, but try it), and 100 Pains on it should cast Poison/Silence/Blind, if it isn't immune to any/all of those effects. As I said, I'm not sure of Tonberry's immunities, so that might not work. Siren, Carbuncle, Doomtrain and Cerberus all learn Stat-Atk-J, so you can, potentially, have an entire party set up like that. At the very least, see how much 100 Drains on Stat-Atk-J drains for, if it's decent, you could probly just attack the Tonberry while auto-healing yourself with the attack :P

Beyond that, like I said, GFs are probly the way to go, since with boost and decent friendliness with you, they should be a rather quick and painless way of killing them.

Try Auto-Haste, Initiative, Counter etc. abilities that increase your speed so you get in more attacks, and basically just save a lot. It's slow and annoying but yeah, there it is.

Good luck, just think, once you get him, you can use him to making shopping easier, so you can buy back all those annoying G-Potions and G-Returners you used x_X

If you need more help, just ask, lovely. ;)

I just fought with 20 Tonberrys one week ago. My tactic is to use Demi. If you have Cerberus, you can use him to cast Tripple on you and then use several Demis on Tonberry and then finish him with Diablos or with strong attacks. Thatīs the way I did it.

I would have every character on at least 200 str if possible then just use aura and limit break them into hell.
