I just made Marshal and got Aphrodite. I think I read about her abilities somewhere in the forum before but I can not find the post. Can someone that has her please tell me what she does? Does she stun? If so, how does she compare to Sha?

Her skill is Wretched Slayer. Like most mages she's inclined to miss but both her hit and stun rate are much better than Shayd's. From what I understand from those lucky enough to have her, she rocks in Banish and with a powerful enough staff, one-shot opponents in PvP.
Thanks. One thing I noticed is that you can not buy her. There is no Recruit button under her. Got her with 3000 spirits.
I tried ger in practice battle against the top player in our server and I am not impressed. I used my standard PvP formation that I can beat her about 33% of the time (she uses Maria) replacing Queen B with Aphro and was not able to beat her once on 8 tries.
Her stunning rate is not that impressive. Maybe 1 out of 3 or 4. I guess I will have to build her up some more. Here are her stats.

Andy its because of your low hit rate.
Get her max hit rate and see her mow down everything.
She'll be your new best friend in Banish. Tried and tested. lol.
at bit offtopic, but i was just wondering if 3.8 mill rep is a cap? or do you keep getting rep after this?
Herby speaks the truth here. Boo's Aphrodite in my guild rocks banish to the core. He gets 30-50m rounds very often now. You just need to get her Hit Rating up around 210-220.
You'd think the Skill and Phys resistance would make her da bomb in PvP, but I have yet to see this. From what I have seen so far, her strength is banish alone.
Nymeria - Rep isn't capped at 3.8. There are players well above 4m rep on server 1.
lvl 12 preciseness is all you need . 180 + 40 built in = 220 hit get a few +10 hit ratings and you are at 250 hit. Then you are pretty much set.
FYI. You need aphro to beat Prophet EZ, so make sure she is sainted real good.
I don't think anyone's beaten Ezekiel yet.
Ezekiel sounds like a buffed herja. Natural +30% skill/physical defence.
Gratz on beating him, my khan is dying too fast. need to get him to stay alive longer.
thx for your input exec and blayd and i both respect you, but i think its time to get back on topic.
the previous aphrodite thread seems to merge into this one now and let me try to get this back on track by pasting my previous post ok here it is.
the original thread (much better than this one tbh) started out about aphrodite and being a mage tank is useless. then went to switch skills for bryn and aphrodite and about hitrating. some comparison about shayd and aphrodite. now i hope i have summarized it so far well enough from the on topic stuff. now from back then to today i have to say i dont even use shayd anymore. my aphrodite is awesome with her lv 12 hitrating and for kicks i added lvl 12 burliness, flint and resistance (and no she is not my main tank). IF the battle got close in pvp then she is usually the last one standing. she doing a great job stunning bosses in HR and succeed more often when others fail. also the day i replaced my shayd with aphrodite, my banish damage output increased by another 10%.
to the devs: i would like to see her damage output significantly raised on top of what it already is. think as magic pompei whos disadvantage is already there by missing a lot.
also on another note: bryn needs to start doing real damage, not only will she miss a lot more than smoulder but the targets can resist and if she does hit once in a while, her damage is so insignificant (even in the royal challenge!) that she can be ignored in most forms and is at best an "inconvenience" to the attacker for getting a hero stunned once in a while.
Hmm, it seems this thread got merged with a previous thread about beating Prophet.
But yes, I agree with you Kaisim. Aphro is a great hero for banish and is an awesome tank. My only wish is if she would not "miss" so much as a top hero when you start t put over 300+ hit on her. With these "misses", I do agree her damage output could be increased 20 - 35% to be at par with Pompei (but not quite as high as Pompei). Pompei has self health deprecation, which does limit how long he can fight. In Banish he self destructs after a certain # of rounds.
BTW off topic, how much more + Def Skill and +Def from a level 12 Flintness and Burliness over lvl 10 rune? And is it worth it?
but that is exactly my point, that IF the misses stay as is and she hit only every 2nd or 3rd round on an average (even with 300+ hitrating) then you can improve her easily on the same damage output as pompei since he almost never misses. yes his HP decreases however you can compensate for that with maria, better gear and runes; but to compensate for aphrodites high miss rate is impossible if not with hitrating.
please note: i am not talking about the chance to stun, thats just another factor that adds up to the poor result
anything helps, especially in pvp. in other words: who cares as long as you can afford it?
