Jiyva in late game/extended.

[Amnekian]

Would like to know what are the people's opinion regarding this matter. First time out of 3 characters to reach near endgame with Jiyva. How's Jiyva in extended? I take it I can't slimify demons and such. The ever changing mutations makes it unreliable. I guess Jivya is pretty great for 3/5 runes but not much for extended.

You're right about the demonic areas, but Jiyva has uses in Tomb because you CAN slimify mummies. Of course you won't have enough piety to slimify ALL the mummies, but if you're forced to stairdance multiple Greater Mummies/Mummy Priests, being able to Slimify some of them quickly is very good.

Do I get exp when I use slimify?

[tasonir]

I believe it's 50% exp like banish/summoning kills? But in either case I wouldn't worry about the experience loss, it's very, very minor. And it may be 100% if I'm mistaken anyways

You get 0 XP from slimify but you also irresistibly instakill a monster, so there's that.
