 Jiyva is best suited for characters that can play fast and loose, whether they are powerful or another form of increased regeneration. Everything Jiyva offers will support that playstyle, from saving more items to spamming Slimify and Oozemancy. Both of the offensive abilities allow you to take on much more than your character can chew -- Slimify is a one-hit kill on almost everything in the game. Piety is gained rapidly, and hoarding 6* of piety serves no use, so it's best to use those abilities while you are able.
-* In the late-game, Jiyva may be appealing to swap to. High level characters acquire two things: lots of items, and lots of [[mutation]]s. Having items reduces the impact of jelly eating (e.g., with 5 scrolls of blinking, 1 more isn't necessary). Jiyva can remove mutations over time, getting rid of deadly mutations like -Scroll.

Also, Jiyva provides a guaranteed 3rd rune, so characters that have difficulty with all three 3rd rune branches can benefit.
 * In the early-game, Jiyva's regeneration and fast piety gain are very impactful, but early game characters also have the most to lose from jelly item eating, In addition, it is unlikely for Jiyva to be accessible in the Dungeon. Altars are common in Lair, but characters worshipping a regular god are likely to hit 4* or higher piety by the time they reach Slime's entrance.

However, killing [[the Royal Jelly]] without worshipping (or receiving penance from) Jiyva will immediately cause all altars to vanish. You'd have killed its last major worshipper -- and [[Dissolution]] alone can not sustain a god.

-These abilities, combined with extremely strong regeneration, may make it seem like the slime god is best suited for the early game. However, altars to Jiyva will rarely appear in the Dungeon, and while common in the Lair, aren't guaranteed, either. Even then, an early worship means losing out on many items. Meanwhile, high level PCs tend to acquire two things: lots of bad mutations, and lots of items. Jiyva gives many chances to clear bad mutations (and gain new, positive ones), and losing a [[scroll of blinking]] when you already have five is much more manageable than if you didn't have any at all.
