Best way to use gbn lb is to literally spam the button to pop the stun as fast as possible.
The info of seeing when a GNB has LB is useful, but isn't the catch-for-all-problems.

GNB has LB, you have stuns ready to stop him in his tracks. Multiple things can now happen:
  • [1] he dashes in and starts up "Relentless Rush" and plans to go full duration.
  • [2] he dashes in and starts up "Relentless Rush" and immediately fires "Terminal Trigger".
  • [3] he dashes in and doesn't hit the LB or simply waits a while.

[1] Let's assume he does LB - you stun him before he uses "Terminal Trigger". Congrats, he is less of a threat. Downside - now you have a stun less for the other four enemies that may or may not have LB or other strong tools warranting a stun. He also has -25% DMG taken.

[2] If he dashes in and goes for the finisher ASAP, it is hard to react to it considering how fast it happens. If you stun him, back to [1] regarding potential downsides.

[3] Are you going to stun him even if he doesn't LB? Does your team follow up or is even able to do so? For how long will you hold stuns for his LB? Can you keep your focus on the rest of the match while keeping track of his LB usage?

"Shutting down GNB LB" isn't as simple as it sounds. Stun him and he essentially baited a stun for someone else. Don't stun him and he may upload a new episode of "will it blend". So yeah, the method from [2] is definitely one of the best ways, but even without doing that he gets value by soaking crowd controls.
