The last 2 temporary(from Oksana's quest)can survive(until the VM fight at least),if you throw them some bandages once in a while,Shakala is decent if you manage to keep her alive(mostly for her damage),Brute is actually better than Grug,cuz he can apply the mighty blow,and mighty blow is good to put enemies down(sadly,he isnf kept for too long),Gabriel is actually more tanky than Grug,and his 2 handed sword does some mean damage when it connects,in the first invasion Grug is beaten cuz he fought alone,in the second one,he wasnt becuz the orcs had to fight the guards first,and even them he still was saved by the MC,aside from his HP,most of his usefulness comes from the fact that he can endure 2 or 3 punches than tge NCErevi's daughter us a good caster,but miss one mesmeruze and she is screwwes
