Playing last week and I was using slosh 008 Phantom Girl, and opponent lobbied that constructs are not relics, since they did not have the relic "gear" symbol, so she couldn't turn them off, is this correct?

yes that is correct they are not relics

That being said they are assigned the battery which is a resource and the ring is assigned to the battery. So by losing the battery they would lose the ring. but they would keep their constructs so they could use whatever power it granted.

They're not relics

they are not relics. If they are assigned by the lanterns though they do indeed get turned off by phantom girl as far as i can see from the battery card.

The bolded says while they are corps members they can use the constructs so if they are no longer corps members because they are no longer assigned the battery then they cant use the constructs till the effect ends.


EDIT: adding phantom girls powers.

Also, http://www.wizkidseventsystem.com/bb...nstructs#p3651

So they would definitely lose the benefits of the ring and emotional spectrum if applicable. Whether or not they can use the powers from the construct is still unknown.

In my opinion, if they are no longer "Corps Members" then they would not be able to use the powers from the constructs since that ability comes from the Battery which was previously established they cannot use. That's just opinion though, we'll see how they rule eventually.... hopefully.

i dont see why they would have to think about the first part of his question. the card actually says that they can use the construct because they are corps members. so if they are no longer corps members they cant use them.

I think the reason they said they will answer at a later point is for the reassigning of another construct and hence the resource after having it taken off by phantom girl.

so as for being able to use the construct i think it still cant be used. one of the oranges here will probably chime in soon, id like to see what they think.

The gear symbol does not indicate that something is a relic. The gear symbol indicates that something is a special object.
All relics will have a gear symbol because all relics are special objects.
Not all items with gear symbols are relics because special objects are not all relics.

A relic will actually say it is a relic on the card. (Three or four early ones did not use the term, but it was added via the PG.)

Don't forget that constructs aren't always granted by a power battery - prime and le green lanterns can start the game with a construct attached
