Astral Barrage works despite Manaphy on bench?
Just had a game against a Shadow Rider deck and they were able to hit my bench with Astral Barrage even though I had a Manaphy down, pretty sure this is a bug?

Manaphy blocks damage from attacks, not damage counter placement.
For example, it does not block Dragapult VMAX's "Max Phantom" 5 damage counters, Zigzagoon's "Headbutt Tantrum" damage counter ability, Inteleon's "Quick Shooting" 2 damage counters ability or Shadow Rider Calyrex V's "Astral Barrage" 5 damage counters.
Manaphy does block bench attacks however, such as Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX's "G-Max Rapid Flow" attack or Jolteon VMAX's "Max Thunder Rumble" attack.
