I played last night as the relic holder for the Templar phase and whenever the Templar created a force field/bubble around me, I could not break it with the relic. If I pulled the right trigger to do a shield bash, I would lunge out of the bubble and die. I couldn't jump up either to do an area smash. Am I supposed to drop the relic and use my weapons to break the bubble and then pick up the relic again?

Right trigger can be a bit glitchy, but it's more timing and distance. It doesn't actually hit until the end of its animation, so if you can pass through the target, you will do so before hitting. Distance matters. I like to start with a right bumper attack, to damage and get against the detain on one side, then right trigger attack against the opposite wall to break detain. A couple of successive right bumper attacks will also work.
