Emergency Barrier: When Green Lantern or a teammate reaches 20% Health, a barrier appears making that character invulnerable for 4 seconds. This can occur once per character, per match. |
Strategy
Green Lantern John Stewart is a life saver with his passive, shielding characters at critical health so they can get a few free uninterrupted blows and/or allow them to use healing gear.
His passive grants Invulnerability, a rare form of status effect only shared by the Militarized Batmobile and Astro-Harness, which negates most damage and status effects on the affected character, including flinching, allowing you to get unblocked specials much easier.
However, his poor base stats and the short lived nature of his passive (as well as the fact that it could be bypassed entirely by high hits) makes him rather unpopular.
Red Lantern Hal Jordan's release caused him to briefly resurface, as Emergency Barrier used to be able to shield Hal from his self-damage and allows him to use at least one more special or super. However, this was soon removed and now his passive does not affect Hal's self-damage.
If the first hit (the stun) of Batgirl's Art of Deception triggers his invulnerability, the character will continue to be stunned even when invulnerable.
It can trigger for Aquaman/Prime and each Atlantean Hero he summons.
Interactions
Please note that battles are highly situational: this section only mentions cards that have mechanics that, for any reason, are particularly effective with/against, or particularly ineffective against Green Lantern. Having a card that "counters" Green Lantern does not mean it is always a good choice.
Good With
- Solomon Grundy/Regime, Solomon Grundy/Prime & Doomsday/Containment: When their health first fall between 1% and 20% remaining (either before or after resurrection), John Stewart's passive will render them temporarily invulnerable and this can act as a second chance/life saver for them.
- Superman/Prime & Superman/Regime: He can protect them from being hit during their passive, allowing them to make use of it without being interrupted.
- Solomon Grundy/Boss: Grundy can maximize the effectiveness of his passive by staying at critically low health without risk of being knocked out.
Good Against:
- Deathstroke/Arkham Origins: Although punishing, both of his specials are multi-hit, allowing Green Lantern to relatively easily negate large amounts of damage.
- Raven/Teen Titans: Should his shield be up while her passive activates, she will still receive health and power, but he will lose no health.
Countered By
- Ares/Prime, Bane/Luchador & Doomsday/Prime: Their one-hit SP2 and SP1s, respectively, can avoid triggering Green Lantern's passive.
- Batman/Batman Ninja: The shield that John offers to himself and to his teammates triggers at a very low health threshold. Batman's SP2 can effectively bypass the trigger and deliver the KO, especially when Batman is equipped with Cloak of Destiny.
- Jessica Cruz/Rebirth: If the end of Jessica's combo ender stuns Green Lantern or any of his teammates at the exact time their shield goes up, the stun will remain on them. However, they will be protected while helpless.
