From the Monarch release notes

You cannot defend with Arc Light Sentinel as it does not have a defense value.
You may only play Arc Light Sentinel in your deck if your hero is Prism, Sculptor of Arc Light, or Prism (Young hero).
The turn player always has priority first and can start the turn playing a card assuming they are legally able to (For example he still needs to have the resources or needs an empty chain to play an action).
If an attack is already announced and attacking, playing Arc Light Sentinel does not redirect the attack to Arc Light Sentinel.
The opponent may elect not to attack, however if they choose to attack they must choose Arc Light Sentinel as the target of the attack.
If there are multiple Arc Light Sentinel, you can choose which one to attack. You cannot attack another target that isn’t an Arc Light Sentinel.
Arc Light Sentinel only forces attacks to target it. Action cards such as ones that deal damage cannot target Arc Light Sentinel.
This includes all attacks including weapon attacks and attack action cards.
In multiplayer (i.e UPF) or other formats where there’s a restriction on who you can attack or target, if you are not able to normally attack the player controlling Arc Light Sentinel then you are not able to attack Arc Light Sentinel as they are out of your spell range (Attack range).

Keyword notes

Spectra - Spectra is a new keyword that exists on Illusionist Aura cards. When a player is deciding who to target for an attack they may elect to target an Aura with the keyword spectra. When an Aura with spectra is attacked, destroy it and close the combat chain. The attack will not resolve and the combat chain closes.

Attacks that target a card with spectra do not resolve. Any hit triggers or effects that card has such as go again do not resolve.
An attack targeting a spectra card does not resolve. It will open a combat chain and become a chain link but is destroyed when the spectra becomes a target
Additional costs and resource cards still need to be paid.
Attacking a spectra is not considered attacking a hero.
