I just had my first battle against Waka summoner. And I have beaten him with ease. How? All you need to understand is how Poison works.

Strategy
Since Waka only adds Poison to all creatures, all you need to do is to limit the monsters they can hit. By adding a Taunt monster at the end of your battle line, only tank and taunt monster can be hit and poisoned.
Since Poison does not stack it does only 4 damage max per turn to tank and rear monster if both are poisoned.
Key Abilities
Chanceus (best) and Llama will be your best summoners against Waka, but you can use this strategy with other summoners also.
Abilitiey you need to support this strategy are:
- Tank heal, to heal the tank (duh!),
- Triage, to heal the Taunt monster,
- Resurrect - it revives a dead monsters and removes Poison,
- Cleanse - cleans poison from the tank
- Repair - restores Armor on tank and rear monster
