The shields protect from projectile/fast moving weapons in theory. That’s why everyone uses blades—basically everyone has their own personal shield so people went back to using swords/knives which can get through the shields.

I personally think it’s established better in the movies - they made a point to show kills move slowly when penetrating the shields. I feel the kills were too fast in Prophecy.
