Again, these are all abilities that have been shown in the show, meaning that there could be plenty more that we don't know about. And because of this, it makes it seems like Pink and Steven are the strongest. And while it could technically be true, let's see how they fair against DC!

I wanna start with the Lantern Corps, because they're the most likely to interact with in comparison to the magicians. Those who aren't earth bound at least.

Alone, a single lantern, no matter how powerful or their ring, would not be able to defeat the diamonds.But close calls are possible. And I want to go through this as properly as possible. It isn't ranked in any order, but just how I remembered the colors lol.

Black Lanterns: Honestly, I think there might be a chance. Despite the black lantern corps being about death, gems don't technically have a soul, or at least a mortal or physical one that we know of. And since gems have to be shattered to be "killed" and only the diamonds are able to bring them back, there's no way that a gem "zombie" could be brought back and build a zombie army. The closest this would be is a corrupt gem fusing with a noncorrupt gem and corrupting them in the process. But here's where I think they have the chance: their ability to control darkness. A black lantern ring has the ability to build a light devouring field made out of complete pick darkness. And while I know there's a bit of an argument of whether or not a gem is considered weak when in complete darkness, there is a chance that if the gem is directly incase of darkness, you could weaken the form or completely dissolve their physical form. The problem is that the diamonds are tall and with all their gems being on their chests and head, you'd have to get at least a little bit close, even with the rings power. And if they know what you're aiming for, it'd be about timing. Plus if you were fighting White Diamond in her room from, then you are surrounded by white light except for your own shadow, which is a weakness I think?

White Lanterns: This might be a bit tricky. A white lantern is powered by the powers of life and creation. Already giving them a disadvantage with the Diamond Authority since they drain planets of natural resources and leave nothing behind. Most likely if they were to fight a Diamond on home planet, where there's no organic life, then they would be at a severe disadvantage. Unless they could somehow draw from inorganic life as well. And since all gems are based on light themselves, then there's a chance a lot of their light based attacks are rendered useless against a gem. For example, their invisibility is caused by the ring bending light waves to camouflage them. If a gem is made of light, I'd believe they could see various light spectrums and could still see despite a refraction. They also have the ability to create wormholes and spatial warps. But gem ships are incredible fast, so finding them would take a while, but it could happen. And then you'd be fighting a gem ship as well as the Diamonds. Perhaps their white energy constructs pack a harsher punch than others, but there isn't anything else I could think of.

Green Lanterns: I don't see anything specific a green lantern could do that could cause specific damage. But as I said previously, creating projectiles and energy projections would be most in case of damaging a diamond. But a Green Lantern's weakness is mental instability, so I was thinking the aura projection of Blue Diamond would be enough to stop them in their tracks momentarily. Then I thought about Mogo, the sentient planet. With the planet being able to fight as well, there might be a chance to cause a ruckus, especially if the diamonds discovered the planet and was unable to access it because of its shield.

Red Lanterns: Red Lanterns are the same. Have blue use her aura projections, and I'm sure they'd be down for the count. Also, their rage plasma wouldn't work on them, not fully. The acid might hurt them, but they have no blood to burn. Now the Rage Mind Control is a possibility, but like with the black lantern ring, only if it could be directly aimed at the gem itself. And again, that would have to deal with getting close enough for the ring to do damage.

Orange Lanterns: Orange has a chance! With abilities to affect gravity and light, along with the powerful blasts, there could be a chance. But again, even if the ring is deemed to be one of the most powerful of the rings, how could it fair affecting the gravity of a being so much bigger? Does the ring has a limit of gravity and who could it affect? And its high charge limit gives it the chance of causing higher damage than any other ring.

Blue Lanterns: Blue is similar to the other rings as well, but I think one of the most notable ability is its fear depletion. Perhaps on that note it could possibly be worked against blues aura of despair. Other than that, there isn't much I could think about.

Indigo Lanterns: Indigo lanterns, if for whatever reasons hunted by the diamonds, could make them untraceable. So that means they have the highest chances of infiltration and being able to fully catch a diamond off guard. Nothing else other than the similar power set to the other rings.

Violet Lanterns: Honestly, this one is interesting. Especially their crystallization abilities. I believe it would be similar to bubbling in the SU universe, but the only difference is that you wouldn't need to poof a gem to do it. But it would most likely take more than one to fully crystalize a diamond. Plus their ability to travel interstellar would make good for quick getaways.

Yellow Lanterns: Their fear installation could be a possible game changer. But only depending on who they attack first. Even if it did work, the diamonds might swat at a yellow lantern and still be able to hurt them despite being under the rings affects.

Ultraviolet Lanterns: This was an interesting one, because Ultraviolet doesn't have that many known powers. But the ones that are known do seem to be pretty powerful. But their negative emotion induction could be seen as a double edge sword. Depending on how it's used, and used against, the diamonds attacks would become stronger in a fit of negative emotions. And that could possibly mean a lot more trouble.

Also, with the Diamonds being taller and more powerful than the average gem, then some serious damage would need to be done to their physical form in order to poof them. And since Lantern Rings need energy and to charge, one lantern against the Diamonds would equal a lantern draining their ring quickly trying to attack them. And if their ring runs out of power before they could attack, then they're done for.

Now, onto the Magicians!

I'll admit that I wasted my energy explaining the lantern rings as a whole, so I'm not going to go through every magician. But I will make some major points. With a lot of the gems and gem made creations could be considered as magic instead of advanced technology, then they might be on a more even playing field with magicians. But remember:

Again, the Diamonds are HUGE! So big as well as powerful would be difficult for any magician to stop. Even as a group. So that means that it would take a lot of magic to conjure chains or a barrier to keep them out. Even then, it would be all for naught with a well aimed thought

Could the Diamonds projection be considered as magic? Truly it has to deal with light so there's a chance if there is a magical barrier, it could go through it like nothing.

If magic was directly aimed towards the gem of a Diamond, one wouldn't be enough, I believe. Depending on the distance and the power, maybe send a diamond back. But you'd need plenty of power to even knock back a diamond, as well as crack it or possibly shatter it. So a powerful attack aimed towards

And there's also the types of magic as well. Going through them, the most affective I believe would be Techno-Alchemy, Elemental Magic, Adaptive Magic and maybe Sympathetic magic?

Blue and Yellow could be the most damaging to any of them. Causing emotional distress or simply zapping them.

And they're also strong against mental magic. So a human trying to access their minds and talk to them would be difficult. If a human even could. Maybe if they're weakened?

All of this is also speculated on whether or not you're just fighting the diamonds as well. With their countless army and the Crystal Gems on earth, I don't think that there's a lot of

Of course the Diamonds could be weak as well. If it's not them and not just a full out war they're going against as well, then you'd need to think about what they could do, other than just obliterate the planet. But really it's their size, age, and war techniques that would keep them alive and most likely better than their opponents.

I don't know who would be so cruel to hurt my baby Steven, but anything that wouldn't affect a gem would effect him due to him being half human. But he also has his own powers to fight with, and I don't think anyone would forcibly make him go into his pinky state either.

And that's it! I've finally finished with that! If you guys have any arguments or counterarguments about what I posted, go at it in the notes! I love hearing your thoughts and possible arguments as to who would win in this epic battle!
