This issue was brought up in another thread by @Risen Malchiah recently & I decided to dedicate a thread to discussing the different ways to use these units. I found this thread where the last post from @Mykan gives a good comparison of all units of the same type:

Before my time, there apparently was a nerf to the Sorceress & I get confused when reading older threads as I have no frame of reference for how they were before. I'd like to narrow the discussion just to comparing them as they are now.
Risen's question was how to use the Sorceress with her limited range. I've seen it discussed in other battle threads that Sorceress was underutilized; I'm almost sure @SoggyShorts said something that caused me to rethink always going with Blossoms. I've tried her out more and find I can use her, but I have trouble describing the specific provinces where she has value. I just got the Blossom II promotion, & will soon get the Banshee II promotion, so I've been using Blossom I & Sorceress III & realize my experience may change with the higher star troops now.
At this point, I've figured out that Sorceress is stronger, does well when terrain is favorable and lasts longer when taking hits is inevitable (ex: from enemy light range). Blossom works well against shorter ranged enemies and doesn't hold up as well as Sorceress when there are enemy light range units present. This is especially true in higher province rounds where enemy units are all 3 star. So, maybe I'm seeing a preference for Sorceress over Blossom when Mages are being used as support instead of key units. There is an obvious advantage to using Blossom for primarily heavy melee enemies in the absence of enemy light range whether she is used as the support or key unit. I've not used Banshee often, and usually only in lower province rounds against mostly heavy range enemies to conserve the stronger troops for the higher rounds. With her range issues and still a lvl 1, I just haven't been able to use her much; maybe that will change when she gets stronger.
I'd really love to hear from other Elves about how they decide which Mage to use and when.
