"You are a Phalanx. One shield in the stalwart Cabal line. Advancing patiently into the storm. [...] Your shield must be a weapon. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [retaliation]. Take up the knife. Tear a hole. Take your new shape."

— Grimoire description

The Taken Phalanx is a type of Taken Cabal which can fire Arc blasts from their shields that can send Guardians flying. They have Arc Slug Rifles as their primary armament, although it fires much faster compared to its Solar Cabal counterpart.
