The Ancestor Skill Tree is different from your standard skill trees like Memories of Hunter or Memories of Rider for your Ikran skills. The ancestor skills don’t need skill points to be unlocked; rather, they are required to reach the ends of mountain peaks to avail them. You can locate them easily on the map as they are marked by a shining pink light coming out of a beautiful Tarsyu flower. There are many ancestor skills that have the best super abilities among the 12 ancestor skills in Avatar Frontiers of Pandora.
- There are a total of 12 skills in the Ancestor Skill Tree in Avatar Frontiers of Pandora.
- You will be able to retrieve Ancestor Skills from Tarsyu Saplings on top of various mountain peaks.
- These skills are far superior to the normal skills you get from the main basic skill trees.
- You will have to get to different heights of mountain peaks and sometimes fight off RDA forces to get these Ancestor Skills in AFOP.

7. Wing Gust
- Why I Chose It: You can land on a defended area with RDA soldiers and damage and disorient them before the fight.
Ikran rarely interferes in your fights or helps you out, but with the help of abilities like Wing Gust, your Ikran will be able to damage opponents while performing basic movements. You normally always use Ikran to land on a surface and then take on a fight, but now you can enter the battle with Ikran to disorient and stun your enemies and get the best of them before they make their first move on you.
Location
- The main area to retrieve Wing Gust from is the Upper Plains of Pandora.
- Wing Gust can be acquired from the mountain peak up north of Mother Of Rivers.
6. Deeper Connection
- Why I Chose It: You and your Ikran will have a deeper connection, and you won’t have to feed the Ikran constantly.
With a Deeper Connection, you won’t have to constantly stop and try to get food for you and Ikran, as Ikran’s stamina will increase. You will now be able to focus on your main objective and not roam around trying to find Ikran some food for some extra time of speed boosting. There is no exact percentage that is increased, but I should tell you that the difference in the time of reduction is really good, making the skill worth it.
Location
- Deeper Connection can be found on a mountain peak in Kinglor Forest.
- You can find it up north of the Stoneblade Bridge area.
5. Soft Landing
- Why I Chose It: The extra jump helps you navigate your character better in areas like the Kinglor Forest.
Soft Landing is an ability that helps in reducing fall damage. There are many mountain peaks with various heights that you tend to climb, especially in the areas where Ikran can’t fly. There are chances of you falling off a mountain or a huge tree that you might have climbed earlier for some resources. Normally, you would die from the fall damage, but if you press “CTRL” on PC or “O” on PlayStation, the damage will reduced by 50% so that you can just heal afterwards.
Location
- The main area where Soft Landing can be found is Kinglor Forest.
- Soft Landing is situated on the East mountain peak from Silk Woods.
4. Drop Impact
- Why I Chose It: You will be able to defeat AMPs with just your airborne melee attacks.
Drop Impact is a really underrated ability because you can use it in so many ways. Its ability is to increase damage out of your Melee attack with the speed and momentum at which you are attacking the enemy while airborne. The damage impact is three times more powerful than a normal melee attack. Another added bonus is that the enemies in the surrounding area or radius of impact will be staggered.
Location
- The main area where Drop Impact can be found is Kinglor Forest.
- It is specifically situated on the far mountain peak up north of Shadow Wood.
3. Eject
- Why I Chose It: You will be able to bring down multiple AMPs without wasting arrows or shotgun ammo.
With the help of Eject, you can take an RDA AMP-controlling soldier out of their AMP suits when the AMP is staggered by either hacking with SID or stunned. It will help defeat and finish an AMP at a quicker speed without wasting time shooting at them or using arrows against them. It will allow you to save your ammunition for other soldiers or enemies that you encounter.
Location
- The main area where Eject can be received is the Kinglor Forest.
- Eject can be received from the mountain peak up north of Shadow Wood.
2. Reconnaissance
- Why I Chose It: You will be able to take apart hoards of enemies without indicating the rest of their team.
With the super ability of Reconnaissance, your enemy’s patrol path will be marked when you use your Na’vi Senses. The ability helps you know not only their exact location but also their entire movement pattern. It is great to come up with a strategy to jump RDA EMPs and soldiers and kill them all with weapons. You can take each soldier apart and kill them so you don’t alert the other soldiers. For instance, it is best to raid defended locations.
Location
- Reconnaissance can be found in the Upper Plains part of Pandora.
- It is found at the far southwest peak of The Celebration Valley.
1. Free Fast Travel
- Why I Chose It: Free Fast Travel will let you go to the various travel points around the map without ever costing stamina, which is just great.
The best Ancestor Skill you can acquire in Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is the best Free Fast Travel. The name Free Fast Travel speaks for itself since now you can travel to the main fast-traveling checkpoint areas without costing you 20% of your stamina. I found it mentally relaxing that I was not being penalized to just go from one area to another to either do side quests or gather resources. Mounting rides become medieval now.
Location
- The main area from which you receive Free Fast Travel is the Clouded Forest area.
- It is found on the main central mount peak of The Clouded Forest.
