This dome-shaped slime is not particularly powerful, but it is essentially considered the standard for 2-mana monsters.
If Jelly's combined stats are odd, it will only gain 1 statpoint overall on the next turn due to rounding down.
The stat-averaging ability will let Jelly survive longer against repeated small amounts of damage, such as from a Kelar Tower or Gloops, but will slowly reduce its attack.
Conversely, increases to any one stat will eventually be converted to lesser increases to both stats.
If Jelly's attack is one or two points less than its life, it will end up with the same life after its ability is run, but during the averaging it will have lost 1 life before regaining it. This will trigger Miasma Factory, even though it didn't visually lose any life.
