Air shield doesn't help, but shields with high parry should make it very ineffectual.

It's quite easy to test. Check attached turn files and you will see most arcane bolts missed against the nagas with A10 blessing(80% air shield). But if you shift-k the bandar commander before he cast divine blessing, almost every arcane bolt will hit and kill a naga.

Air shield does help.
Most people think that air blesses are worthless. I think they are way better than most people realize - not only for sacred troops, but for sacred thugs.
