They are similar to [[Legionnaire]]s and carry big tactical shields,<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIxxsw7TNd4 '''YouTube''': ''Destiny: Official E3 Gameplay Experience Trailer'']</ref> acting as a mobile defensive front, holding their ground or pushing forward at will; they have no jump-jets.<ref name = "Destiny">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]''</ref> Besides blocking attacks, Phalanx shields are dangerous in melee combat. A single hit can send [[Guardian]]s flying, which will cause damage if they crash into a solid object. This is strong enough to kill Guardians on higher difficulties. In ''[[Destiny 2]]'' their shields have a deactivation point at the center, which can be shot for minimal damage but will retract the shield and briefly stun the Phalanx. | They are similar to [[Legionnaire]]s and carry big tactical shields,<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIxxsw7TNd4 '''YouTube''': ''Destiny: Official E3 Gameplay Experience Trailer'']</ref> acting as a mobile defensive front, holding their ground or pushing forward at will; they have no jump-jets.<ref name = "Destiny">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> Besides blocking attacks, Phalanx shields are dangerous in melee combat.

In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', Phalanxes are equipped with [[Energy Shield]]s, which they can expand to protect multiple Cabal soldiers. They do not impede movement when expanded and can be walked through. Shooting the glowing icon in the center of the shield or using a Suppressor Grenade will deactivate the shield and stun the Phalanx for a few seconds. Unlike [[Legionary|Legionnaires]] they tend to use [[Slug Rifle]]s rather than [[Cabal Slug Shotgun]]s. Red Legion Phalanxes are now equipped with jump jets like other Cabal and are thus capable of limited flight, though this also gives them a weak spot on their backs. | In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', [[Red Legion]] Phalanxes are equipped with [[Energy Shield]]s, which they can expand to protect multiple Cabal soldiers.
