It's been a while since my last playthrough, so this could have been changed by a patch. In my playthrough, the Kraken would summon the new enemies on the pillars around the battlefield. They had to move a little bit before attacking, but they didn't have to waste one entire turn just to move, either. There was one caster guy (not Isbeil) who didn't need to move at all, IIRC.

If the Kraken places the new enemies at fixed spots, just position your party accordingly before initiating the second phase. Stay at hard to reach spots, something like that. Other than that, once you know what the new enemies are going to do in their first turn, make sure your party are in good condition and prepare them appropriately.
