From the Monarch release notes

You cannot defend with Genesis, as it does not have a defense value.
Players do not have priority at the start of turns. Players cannot respond to Genesis’s effect at the start of turn as neither players have priority during the start of turn.
If it is not an Illusionist or Light card, then no Spectral Shield is created nor is a card drawn.
If it is a Light Illusionist card then a Spectral Shield is created and a card is drawn.

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.
