Ancestral Gauntlets is a relic in Wizard of Legend.
Description[ | ]
Pressing forward into an attack with precise timing will guard the attack, heal for 15 hp and release a burst around you that deals 50 damage, stuns enemies and destroys nearby projectiles.
Acquired once 
Firstborn's Gauntlet and 
Lastborn's Gauntlet are in your inventory, providing both their benefits while removing the slow recovery from attacks from Lastborn's Gauntlets.
Combines with 
Bracers of the Beast to form 
Fury of Cerberus.
Item combos[ | ]
- The
Spirit cloak will increase the healing given. - Catalystic Vial and Catalystic Tonic will increase the chance for Critical Heals.
- Dated Sunglasses will make projectiles easier to guard since they will move slower.
- Sturdy Wooden Easel will automatically parry some attacks, triggering the gauntlets' effects.
Spell combos[ | ]
Since these gauntlets cause a STUN on enemies unfortunate enough to be nearby when you block correctly, they can easily help you set up any spell combo you like. But this can be particularly useful for un-enhanced spells that need to charge up, like 
Grasping Earth, 
Shock Nova, 
Aqua Breaker or 
Raging Inferno.
Additional notes[ | ]
- The gauntlets only seem to be able to block attacks that fly directly toward the player across the ground. Attacks that approach the player from above seem to be unblockable. This includes the Earth Mage's "Drop Boulder" (Rank-2 attack), which I note specifically because it approaches the player in an ambiguous arc that is neither very high off the ground nor very close to it.
- For Multi-hit attacks like Frost Queen Freiya's signature Snowflake Barrage, it seems to only require proper timing on the first hit. Afterward you can simply keep holding forward into the rest of the attack to successfully guard it, as I demonstrate here.
- It does seem to be able to block some "zone" attacks like the Ice Knight's Chill Zone (Rank-3 attack). And just like above, you can continue to press forward into it to score multiple blocks, and thus multiple heals (and enemy stuns).
