At this point in the game, your party should already have access to two license boards. If a character has obtained two licenses from the given gambit, then simply combine their gambits for a greater effect.
If all classes are taken by separate characters, deploy your Black Mage first to defeat the Treants, then swap him/her out with a missing class from the given gambits above.
Most of the status ailments in the battlefield are curable by Time Mage or White Mage skills, so a character that has both jobs, or two characters with separate jobs, are useful.
The Time Mage can use Haste to negate Slow, while the White Mage can cast Esuna for the rest of the other status ailments. The item Handkerchief should also be set to all players to negate Oil which, if combined with Fireball, would cause a rather 'explosive' instant death.
A Black Mage which has Tier-2 Black Magick spells will also help greatly in getting rid of the two Treants at the beginning of the fight.
The player should place the tanker in an opposite direction to the rest of the party to avoid getting taken out by the various status ailments from Sporefall.
