#PhantomX Phantom sentinel troopers have some resistances to magic attacks.Most will be equip with a shield that does nothing to slow them down.The shield can redirect magic base attacks and or can store the magic power for a later use.Phantom sentinels who are equip with shields will use them as means of melee attack.If you look at the shield,you can see that it's meant to be held in a way that allows the user to use it as a melee attack.
