Every adventuring party needs someone to dish out magical damage, and these are the best options for that in Eiyuden Chronicle.

Mages are very versatile hunters as they can cast elemental spells, enact curses, or summon phantoms and spirits. Mages play a vital role in any adventure as they support the rest of the party from behind. Naturally, in Solo Leveling:ARISE, Mages are vital to a team, and can be used in a variety of ways. The game offers a variety of Mages, and players might be unsure about which one to pick. This list aims to help players with picking the best mage characters in the game, ranked from worst to best.

5 Jo Kyuhwan

The Lackluster Mage

  • Scaling: Attack
  • Attribute: Light

The only Light attribute mage available in the game, Jo Kyuhwan is an SR Mage. Jo’s skill set is lackluster, and while his damage-dealing abilities are average, they are nothing worth fretting over. Players can utilize Jo in some instances, as he deals more damage to burning enemies, but despite this, it doesn’t make much of a difference to his overall value.

Jo Kyuhwan’s special skill burns its target, allowing him to self-sustain his buff against enemies without the help of team members. Despite all that, his lack of utility makes him the worst option as a Mage, putting him at the last position on this list.

4 Song Chiyul

The AoE Mage

  • Scaling: Attack
  • Attribute: Fire

The thin, middle-aged man from the manhwa, Song Chiyul, comes to the game as a SR Mage wielding the fire attribute. While the game decided to go with his swordsman design with an arm missing instead of his Mage design, Song Chiyul is still a good Mage-class character for players.

Manhwa is filled with powerful mages. These individuals, however, tend to stand out from the rest.

Song can be primarily used by players in stages with mobs, as his attacks come with good AoE effects, and his ability to deal extra damage to non-boss monsters in the game helps clear out crowds of weaker enemies. Song is a strong Mage that deals burn on enemies with his basic and special skills, making him a good choice to play with other DoT hunters.

3 Park Heejin

The Support Mage

  • Scaling: Attack
  • Attribute: Wind

Mages usually play a support role on the team, as they provide buffs and debuffs to friends and foes alike. Park Heejin, the Wind element SR Mage, does the same kind of work. Park has the ability to increase the damage of the ultimate skills of her team when her special skill is used. Her ultimate skill unleashes a windstorm on enemies that deals a lots of damage, adding some destructive powers alongside her support nature.

Park Heejin being a SR character makes it easier to acquire her dupes, which makes her even stronger. Park can also remove debuffs from team members with her special skill, making her a well-rounded support in dangerous dungeons where anything can go wrong at any moment.

2 Lee Bora

The Dark Team Support Mage

  • Scaling: Attack
  • Attribute: Dark

Some mages cast offensive spells, some cast defensive spells. Lee Bora, on the other hand, plays a bit differently, as she summons foxes to her side to attack enemies. Scaling with Attack, this Dark SSR Mage is a great option for players.

Lee Bora has a great synergy with Dark users, making her a vital part of any Dark team. Her basic skill allows her to increase the Dark elemental damage of the team, all the while summoning a phantom fox to attack enemies. With her special skills and passive ability, Lee Bora is also able to increase the damage taken by enemies, making her an S-class support unit in the game. As time passes, her use in a variety of team compositions will be unveiled, so players should try to obtain her as soon as possible.

1 Choi Jong-In

The Nuke Mage

  • Scaling: Attack
  • Attribute: Fire

Choi Jong-In is not only the best Mage available in the game, but also one of the best characters that the players can obtain. The Guild Master of the Hunters Guild, Choi Jong-In, is one of the strongest damage dealers in Solo Leveling:ARISE.

Out of all 45 weapons in Solo Leveling: Arise, these SSR and SR options are truly worth the player’s time, effort, and resources.

Packed with overwhelming firepower, Choi Jong-In scales up his abilities with Attack. Choi is a bit different from other SSR units, as players can not crit with him, but his raw attack compensates for that inability. Choi’s basic skills deal a large amount of damage, burning enemies to crisp. With his special skills, Choi is able to apply debuffs on enemies that reduce the target’s defense and apply burn on them, making him into a walking incinerator.

His passive ability makes him unable to perform critical hits, but to compensate for this debuff, his attack is increased exponentially, followed by a skill cooldown reset, all the while increasing his Attack and Defense Penetration. The Master of Hunters Guild is the strongest Mage available in the game currently and, with his explosive powers, he is an amazing option for players to roll for whenever he is available.
