[WoL] Mera global vs [DnD] Human Paladin : Lesser Emerald En

[scorpion0x17]

If there are three or more different color [Lantern] characters in play, reduce all damage done to Mera by 2.

Global: Pay [1 Mask]. If a character would deal you 5 or more combat damage, it instead deals you 2 combat damage.

Experience (once per turn, gain a +1A / +1D token when you knock out a monster)

While active, your characters in the field cannot be affected by global abilities used by your opponent.

Global: Pay [1 Shield]. Reduce the damage you take from a character's ability to 1.

I have Human Paladin : Lesser Emerald Enclave and a character with 5 or more attack in the field.

My opponent has no characters fielded, but has a Mask available in Reserve.

I attack with my other character, and it goes through, unblocked, to deal 5+ damage to my opponent.

Can my opponent then use Mera's global, at the appropriate time, to reduce the damage to 2, or is my character protected by my Human Paladin's "While active" ability?

Mera's Global Ability doesn't target the character, it changes the damage. Human Paladin has no impact on this interaction.
