Adventurers! Games

The strips w/ Gildward where he a) attempts to do something AND b) is actually useful are as follows:

When he first played the Melody
When he lit up the cave for Chookie and him
When he killed Whizrorb.

Gildward isn't very useful, though I like to be nice and pretend that's because Karn didn't take the time to level him up and discover his true powers. In short, Gildward's like a Magikarp, except his I-form was hardly as impressive as Gyarados.

So, yeah, Gildwards useless. Even Chookie leveled up to good stats, as his epilogue indicates.
