So since I have experience with Aphro, I can tell you she is the most deadliest mage of them all. She hits about 2x as hard as Shayd if not more. She comes with 40 +hit so she does not miss much. She will 1 shot most players except the very top with massive health... I have her at 17 stars and working on her staff to 99 (only 75 atm). In Banish, shes does more dmg per hit than any of my class except pompey (at the very early hits) and De Luc (using herja). Get a few + hit saints on her and she will have close to or over 300+hit. She will keep every banish stunned for a while.

Now back to Mulan. I used Mulan extensively early on and concluded she is a very nice mage, but not quite the same par with King Thesus due to his ability to Crit. If KT did not crit as much, Mulan would be a better choice IMO. Keep in mind, Mulan has 30% Phy resistance and can take a good amount of beating.

I have never been a fan of Rhize for 3 main reasons. 1. He has no innate built in resistance such as phy or magic reduction. 2. His only bonus is 30 block which is pretty useless at the highest levels when you start to face people with lvl 12 break and resilience runes, 3. Rhize does not crit nearly enough to come close to beating King T.
